…recorded 7/2019
After 100 Spicey tweets on (7/4) between the ed reform folks and Dr. Keith Benson (Camden), I wanted to bring Dr. Benson on the show to discuss his animus towards education reform and corporate charter schools. He immediately agreed, and was super responsive.
Dr. Cole felt a way about being dragged in the middle of smoke that he didn’t solicit. Cooler heads prevailed and the two had a conversation that both sides (Ed Reform and Anti-Ed Reform) can be proud of (facilitated by yours truly).
What I learned from both of these gentlemen in this spirited dialogue is that they both are passionate about their communities, and they both want Black and Brown Kids to learn. Although Dr. Benson was not converted into an Ed Reformer, his message and his truth is equally important to hear.
Both participants are scholars and gentlemen for allowing me to probe, and for us to have a great conversation centered around our differences, and how we can meet in the middle on some things. Listen Here
