  • Pushes Political Agenda

    Like with so many things these days, education for kids can’t be separated from political agendas. Evoking an emotional response from kids regarding ICE doesn’t make sense on a podcast about science. We were so excited for this resource! Bummed to have to stop listening because I can’t anticipate what agenda might be pushed in the future.
