Teach FM: All the Presidents’ Students (How Presidents Frame Public Education)
Is it civic or is it economic? Depends.
Just a friendly reminder: education is not in the federal Constitution. Instead, the United States has fifty different definitions of the right to and purpose of public education in its states’ constitutions. That makes education policy a quagmire for any president. In my most recent podcast, I offer some insights about the way presidents have framed education using speeches by JFK and Ronald Reagan as points of exploration. Thanks for streaming!
