Anti-racism in the ELA Classroom w/ Julia E. Torres and Geneviève DeBose - All of the Above Episode 55

But first, Jeff and Manuel explore recent headlines in education including talk of a shift to year-round schooling in the wake of COVID and a new law in California that requires college students to take an ethnic studies class.
