Why education is still failing to create equity - with professor ED HIrsch

“The reason we are having so many issues in the US,” states ED Hirsch, emeritus professor at the University of Virginia, “is that there isn’t that commonality of culture, and for any human tribe to stick together they need that commonality.”For Hirsch, the lack of that commonality - causing huge political rifts and leading to protests such as the Black Lives Matter movement - is down to a failure of education.And in this episode, he explains why that has happened and how we can fix it.You can watch this interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMpX033XR7w&feature=youtu.be
