Part One: Undermining public education. We speak with Cornell Professor Noliwe Rooks, the author of “Cutting School – Privatization, Segregation, and the end of Public Education.” It’s “school choice week” and states across the country are dealing with the issue of school voucher programs.This isn’t a new movement, but it is enjoying a renaissance thanks to the current administration. Dr. Rooks traces the roots back to reconstruction and segregation.

Part Two: Our weekly check-in with the doctor – Steffen Schmidt aka Dr. Politics. Topics include FBI, government shut down, immigration, and more.
