Extra Credit - Midwestern Political Science

About this episode

The episode explores the intersection of politics and education through a Midwestern lens, discussing the importance of community in political conversations.

In this bonus episode your co-hosts try an experiment - is it possible to talk about politics without getting political? Do we cover every issue? Heck no, but we chat about how it feels to have a midwestern teacher on the national political stage and why we'd like to see more of a Community school spirit in politics. Hopefully, anyone at Greendale, no matter what their politics are, would feel welcome to join the conversation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
