We've all heard about the folks who want to "save education," who put "family first," who want to "keep our children safe." Of course, these are the same people who are banning books, and claiming that teachers are pedophiles who are grooming their students (insert eyeroll here). Enter Mike Gottesman, of Wayne, NJ, who has formed the New Jersey Coalition for Protection of Public Education, a group that is taking on the factions in the state that are backed by the deep pockets of the Conservative movement. Give a listen to our interview with Mike, and learn about the model that he and his compatriots have developed to fight against the demise of public education! And, if you are interested in learning more, you can check out their Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/345537860890256
We also get cranky about "Days of Awesome" that aren't so awesome for kids who can't participate, and get motivated to start our letter writing campaign to get a mountain named after Scotty.
Thanks to Max Siskind, of the "Max and Maks in the Morning" podcast, for voicing our intro.
