This week on The Citizen Stewart Show, Chris and Ravi discussed…

What’s making them angry:

Abbott Elementary misrepresenting charter schools in “Wrong Delivery” (9/28/22)

Charter Schools Get Better Results with Less Money Than Government‐Run Schools (Cato Institute, 10/10/19)

There Are Just 90 LGBTQ School Board Members. Half Were Threatened, Harassed (The 74, 10/25/22)

‘Unsafe, Unwelcoming’: LGBTQ Students Report Facing Hostility at School (Chalkbeat, 10/25/22)

What’s making them hopeful:

Mississippi Ranks No. 1 in Nation for Score Gains on National Assessment of Educational Progress (MSAchieves, 10/30/19)

And what’s making them think:

School Closures Were a Failed Policy (The Atlantic, 10/26/22)
