S2E13: The Constitutional Fight for a Quality Education (ft. Dr. Greg Carr)

Aug 4, 2022 7:19:58 PM


Resident Baba Dr. Greg Carr, Associate Professor at Howard University and host of "In Class with Carr", rejoins the show to talk about the Constitutional fight for quality education and the work Junior Servant Leaders are doing within that fight.

Host Shayna Terrell of the Center for Black Educator Development and Dr. Carr begin the episode by defining what "a quality education" is and looks like in practice and whether or not it is actually a constitutional right.

They discuss the themes of equality, equity and the historic distribution of educational resources in the United States and what it has meant in Public education.

Finally, Shayna and Dr. Carr spend some time discussing the role of teaching as service, anti-racism in education and the future of quality education as a constitutional right.
