Ep. 418 - Nov. 10, 2025 - The Future of the Federal Role in Education
Q: How should we teach about our history of racial conflict?
Such teaching should depend on local context, and schools should have the flexibility to approach these complex issues in a way tailored to their community.
Ep. 418 - Nov. 10, 2025 - The Future of the Federal Role in Education
Q: What if he went into court and just said, I want to strike it down?
It's hard to imagine that even a conservative Supreme Court would find a law of Congress unconstitutional just because it created a Department of Education.
Ep. 418 - Nov. 10, 2025 - The Future of the Federal Role in Education
Q: How much of this agenda that the Trump administration has put forward in education is actually moving forward on the ground?
The effects are largely symbolic, as many aspects of federal education policy cannot be easily dismantled without Congress.
Ep. 417 - Nov. 3, 2025 - Who Are Schools Really For?
Q: Is the critique of your book aimed at teacher unions?
The book touches on teacher unions but primarily critiques the overall system that favors adults in educational politics.
