Education is often framed as the great equalizer, but history tells a different story. From the lasting impact of segregation to disparities in funding, access, and opportunity, our schools reflect deeper societal injustices. In this episode, we explore the connection between healthy schools and healthy communities, the historical roots of educational inequity, and the moral responsibility we all share in shaping a just system.
Through compelling insights from experts and thought leaders, we ask, “Who bears the responsibility for justice?” And more importantly, who are we willing to stop for?
