  • The Palestinian Experience is a MUST LISTEN TO EPISODE

    There is so much in this episode that we as educators, parents and concerned citizens of the world can think deeply about in order to begin disrupting the indoctrination that cloaks us all in the agenda to dehumanize in order to colonize… Colonize our minds. Colonize our agency. Colonize humanity. Thank you for this episode and the content within.

  • Love AOTA!

    I never miss an episode! AOTA brings perspective, insight and depth to issues facing public education. I always leave the episode with renewed sense of purpose and clarity. Teaching is tough and isolating, and AOTA provides a sense of community in the common struggle.

But he is the same in real life as he is here on the show and if I could go back to high school, I wouLtd do what ever I had to do to get in his classes!
