Join Dr. Carol François and Kourtney Square as they show the link between segregation academies of the Jim Crow South era and the systemic racism behind today’s proposed school choice policies. Though these policies could potentially re-create highly segregated schools, listeners will learn the surprising hidden purpose and true end game that exposes school choice as the ultimate bait and switch tactic.
