Life Before And After An Education: The Story Of EDUVOTER With Crystal Etienne
This week, Steph and Eddie begin by recapping Steph’s experience at the EDUVOTER conference and then diving into a recently released study: “Bullied, Threatened, and Exhausted: Florida School Board Members’ Struggle to Defend Public Education.” Afterwards, they welcome the head of EDUVOTER, Crystal Etienne. Crystal opens up and shares her background in teaching and why protecting public education is so important for her (14:15). We dig into the reasons why teacher unions are attacked so vociferously (22:01) and the impact of the culture wars on the fight for public education (30:17). Crystal weighs in on whether people are paying more attention lately and the role Schools of Hope played in getting the public’s attention (44:14). Finally, Crystal shares what voters should be asking of candidates (1:02:20) and how folks can support EDUVOTER (1:20:12).
