There May Be A Bigger Education Fight On The Horizon

The #RedForEd movement was just the latest in a broader movement across the country that includes teachers walking out to increase their pay and bring hundreds of millions of dollars back into K-12 systems. But this is a battle that’s been going on for some time — at least since the Great Recession. Some believe there’s a bigger fight on the horizon over the future of public education.

One of those is Derek Black, Law Professor at the University of South Carolina. He recently wrote an op-ed in The Los Angeles Times and was with us to talk about it.

Steve Goldstein was a host at KJZZ from 1997 to 2022.
