America on Fire: Ep 7: Schools as Battlegrounds: When Education Became Control

Host Connie Morris explores chapter six of Elizabeth Hinton's American on Fire, revealing how student protests for real education, Black teachers, and dignity were met with policing, arrests, and surveillance.

The episode connects these events to the origins of the school-to-prison pipeline, offers faith-based reflections, and calls for schools that liberate rather than criminalize youth.

Listeners are asked to reflect on their school experiences and invited to the next episode on governmental commissions and ignored solutions.
