Special Guest James F. Ford joins Ken and Dee for this CPT conversation motivated by the article, "Will North Carolina Continue to Whitewash History for its Student?" released on January 28. Listen in as they discuss:
C: Curriculum - “Our job here is not to rescue America from constructive critique or to project optimism.” - James Ford You can't teach history without history being told, the good and the bad.
P: Politics - In the absence of good faith actors in education, it's critical that we understand Ed Policy and the power that comes with that knowledge.
T: Truth - Regardless if we are seeing the same thing on the same channel in the same room, people will still find a way to deny the truth in order to protect their history of lies. And this is especially true in education.
