The Trump Education Agenda
Ep. 281 w/ show notes
Ravi dives into the contentious world of education policy and explores how the incoming Trump administration’s agenda could reshape America’s schools.
Andrew Clark, president of yes. every kid., and education policy expert Rick Hess of the American Enterprise Institute join Ravi to unpack pressing issues like the future of the U.S. Department of Education, the battle over vouchers and open enrollment policies, and the fight for student rights.
Finally, Ravi and his guests take a step back to examine how bipartisan politics, local resistance, and ideological divides have come to define our education system. Is real change possible, or will political gridlock keep schools stuck in the past?
