What will it take to bring people together again?
As I watched the annual State of Education address last week I found myself wondering, is bipartisanship dead?
Pushing back on Republican culture war talking points, state schools superintendent Jill Underly used the word “racist” to describe recent Republican efforts to rewrite school curriculum purging so-called critical race theory.
