#88 The Right to Read

Have You Heard digs into the recent - and surprising - decision by a federal court declaring that there is in fact a constitutional right to education. One catch: the court defined that right very narrowly, as a “basic minimum education.” Jennifer and Jack explore the ruling and its implications with the help of an all star cast, including Noliwe Rooks, author of Cutting School; Michael Rebell, executive director of the Center for Educational Equity; and former Detroit teacher Stephanie Griffin.
