Jeanine joins IA to help put the miseducation of our youth and roots of racial inequality in focus. This conversation attempts to traverse a range of delicate topics with the degree of nuance they deserve including:
- the relationship between racial inequality and democratization of early education
- the struggle of keeping top talent in early education
- the strange politicization of charter schools and "school choice"
- the limits of rigid partisanship
- the importance of maintaining the proper incentives for achievement and innovation
- avoiding racial essentialism in search of true anti-racism
- keeping truly open discussion at the forefront of education
- reevaluating "defunding the police" and how to mitigate the unnecessary loss of black lives
- overcoming the stigma of ivy league prestige
- the primacy of instilling self-esteem and a growth mindset in the youth
and many others!
