Episode 2 - Segregated Schools, Segregated Funding

On this episode of We Teach Us Podcast, we look at continued segregation―specifically at the intersection of race and class―of our schools in America. In the Do Now segment, I ask students, teachers, and parents the question: "Why do some schools receive less funding and resources than others?" In the We Do segment, I speak to Brittany Packnett-Cunningham (@MsPackyetti), who is an unapologetic educator, organizer,  policy expert, non-profit executive, and writer.  Brittany was active in the Ferguson Uprising and is co-founder of Campaign Zero, a policy platform to end police violence. She was a Fall 2018 Fellow and current Director’s Leader at Harvard’s Institute of Politics, and a member of the Ferguson Commission, and President Obama's Task Force on 21st Century Policing.
