In this episode, Holly and Aaron talk with Steven and Kelly Friend. The Friends are both educators in the public school system. They share their thoughts, wisdom, and experiences about representation through the lends of an educator. They speak to the unique experience of biracial students in a racially polarized time and how all parents can be involved in their child’s education. We talk briefly about critical race theory (CRT) and how that phrase is a battle ground in the public school system. We do not go too deep into CRT, but if you are interested in a deeper dive Holly recommends this podcast and Jackie Hill Perry’s CRT recommendation Critical Race Theory: An Introduction by Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic.
