Education for All: Bringing People Together with Randi Weingarten
This week on Jolty we have a very special guest; the President of the American Federation of Teachers, Randi Weingarten. The AFT is one of the largest organizations in the country with over 1.7 million members, 60% of which work directly in education, but also many of which work in other fields such as healthcare. One of Randi’s many missions is to make the middle class cool again, while also making public school a place that can bring people together of all different backgrounds, beliefs, and ethnicities, creating a better society for all. We also asked her about many of the hot button topics of today like: Why has public education become so politicized? What is the effectiveness of boycotts? What is the status of unions, and how will companies like Starbucks and Amazon be affected? Join Adam and Faith for this exquisite episode of Jolty!
