Hyper-polarization has permeated many public schools, creating divisions and diverting focus from providing quality education, supporting students, and ensuring that teachers have the resources they need to do their best work. In this discussion, we speak with award-winning journalist and author Laura Pappano, who sheds light on ideological battles taking place in rural, politically conservative districts and shares inspiring stories of principled 'school moms' who are working to save public education from extremism. We also examine how rural communities foster unity even in times of deep, local division, offering examples that can inspire communities everywhere.Support the show
