All Of The Above Podcast

One thing that teachers and athletes certainly have in common is the tired notion that they’re each supposed to be “apolitical” and avoid speaking out against injustice. Welp, we’re certainly not going to “shut up and dribble” today! This week we combine forces with writer, editor, sports journalist, and “Edge of Sports” host Dave Zirin to explore the intersections of sports, education, politics, and social justice! From Title IX to student-athlete free speech, municipal budgets, and fair compensation for college athletes, we discuss the work of advancing justice for our students in the classroom and on the field. But first, Jeff and Manuel take a look at recent headlines in education including (another) teacher under fire for assigning racist far-right nonsense and a district chief facing time in prison for his alleged inaction leading up to the mass shooting in Parkland. ***Please consider subscribing to our YouTube channel! https://youtube.com/AllOfTheAbove *** AGENDA 0:00 - Welcome! 5:06 - Teacher assign
