First hour: Exploring the lack of ideological diversity on college campuses
Second hour: Previewing the March for Education Justice
Where's the ideological diversity on college campuses? As reported in Reason and elsewhere, some campuses see more than 95% of their professors (who donate) give to Democrats. Conservative professors and students might feel stifled or outcast. Our guests will discuss whether campuses should strive to have more ideological diversity, and whether progressive thought is a more natural path for academics.
- Robby Soave, reporter and staff editor, Reason.com and Reason magazine
- Stephen Brauer, associate professor of English at St. John Fisher College
- Chris Hodgman, sophomore at the University of Rochester and member of the College Republicans
In our second hour: School leaders argue that New York State has shortchanged them. Last week, we heard from suburban districts. Now, we hear from students and parents in the Rochester City School District, who argue that students there are more acutely impacted. So what are they asking for? And what do they hope to accomplish with this weekend's People's March for Education Justice? Our guests:
- Je'Carl Hill, RCSD graduate and youth organizer at Teen Empowerment
- Juan Callado, high school student at Monroe BOCES, and member of Metro Justice and Special Parents Special Kids
- Pia Moller, parent of a student at School 53, and member of Metro Justice
- Eamonn Scanlon, lead education organizer for Metro Justice and the Alliance for Quality Education in Rochester
