Education was a key issue in the Civil Rights Movement of which the Selma Bridge Crossing was a part. Jesse Turner, Connecticut teacher active in Save Our Schools and BATS, joins the Education Town Hall on Feb. 26 to discuss commemorating the bridge crossing in 2014 and 2015.
In addition, David Greene and Rosalie Friend of Save Our Schools join us to discuss school funding, charter authorization, and teacher evaluation changes proposed by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and how activists in NY state are responding.
