John Stewart here, unbelievably exciting news.
My new podcast, The Weekly Show, we're going to be talking about the election,
economics, ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches.
Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast.
You're listening From Comedy Central's World News Headquarters in New York,
this is the place to everybody.
Thank you so much.
Thank you for tuning in.
Thank you for coming out.
Welcome to it.
Take a seat.
Take a seed.
I am Trevor Noah.
So good to have you all here.
My guest tonight is an author, a really fantastic author.
Her name is Eve Ewing, you're gonna love her. She has a new book out which discusses the impact of race on public schools.
A fascinating discussion, we'll be talking about that later.
But first, let's catch up on today's headlines.
High-end fashion has always been about making a statement.
And now, thanks to Prada, that statement can be, uh-oh. Prada is under fire after the high-end fashion house displayed and sold items
that some called racially insensitive. Prada calls them Prada Malia, a quote, new family
of mysterious creatures. But tonight, there is backlash over a monkey-like character with big red lips.
But some are calling racist.
The store in New York City's Soho neighborhood
removed the characters from the window
and lowered the blinds.
In a statement, the company writes in part,
it abhors racist imagery.
Prada Malia are fantasy charms,
not intended to have any reference to the real world,
and certainly not blackface.
I know the devil wears Prada. But I th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thu th thu thu thui thui thui thui thui thui thus thus tho thus thui the thus tho-a tho-a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thu. thu. thu. the. the. theanannu. theauu.eau.eau. tau.eau. theau. theau. thea. thea but I didn't realize he was also there ahead of marketing.
Like this is how you know there's no black people working at Prada.
Because you realize if you just had one black person in management, they would have been
like, ah, guys, guys, guys, guys.
And this is a weird one, because those things are obviously racist, but at the same time, they're tiny and adorable.
It's like Jeff Sessions all over again.
No.
Moving on, Russia has just found something new to meddling.
In Russia, a rap battle is brewing.
In one corner, the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, and in the other, the nation's hip-hop
artists.
The Russian president is weighing in on official efforts to crack down.
On rap music, he said Saturday, it is an important part of pop culture, but he also said,
it needed to be guided by the state.
Okay, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no.
No government should be in charge of rap,
especially not a government run by Vladimir Putin.
You're going to have the first person to lose a rap battle by poisoning.
What are you doing?
And you guys might think I'm judging Putin prematurely,
but I don't think he should be in charge of running rap. Because there's actual footage of Putin at a rap concert. And I'm not sure that he is a fan.
I'm today,
Please, puttry to their hands, but this beat.
Thank you, Muscovie,
and all thoo thee.
I want to say tockle toe thee toe. Oh, man, he's like, I don't wave my hands in the air, because I do care.
He looks like the worst undercover cop ever.
It's like the Russian version of 21 jumpstrees.
It's like, what's up my fellow rap-loving teenagers?
It's like, are you Vladimir Putin? I wish that guy's super cool, right?
Oh, and speaking of rap, Cardi B and Offset have had a complicated relationship. They had a child,
right? He cheated on her. She dumped him. It's actually pretty simple now that I say it out loud.
But this weekend, Offset tried to make things right by doing things wrong.
Bronx rapper Cardi B's estranged husband interrupted her performance last night to beg her to take him back.
Rapper Offset came on stage at a festival in Los Angeles with the bouquet of flowers and a cake that read,
Take me back. Cardi, the two were married last year, but split amid rumors, he was
cheating on her. She didn't seem amused by the stunt.
Okay, first of all, black musicians really need to work on their concert security.
I went to a Paul Simon concert and I couldn't get a water bottle in.
Meanwhile, Offset is walking in giant cakes right onto the stage. Like I'm just saying, whether or not they get back together, Cardi. C. C. C. C. C. to. to. the they. to. to. they. they. to. tooe. they. they. their. their. their. th. th. thoom. thoomorrow. thoomorrow. thoomorrow. thi. thi. the. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, the. the. the. the. the. the. the. toe. toe. toea. toea. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta.a. ta.a. they get back together, Cardi needs a guy watching the loading dock.
You need no security.
You need no security.
And as much as I get what Ofset was trying to do,
I don't think he should have put Cardi on the spot like that,
right?
Especially at her job,
like some people thinne. job, all right? If she had any other job, this would not be acceptable. If she was an
opera singer and Officer came in the middle of a performance and she was up there and
she was like, I make money moves. And he just like, he just like, hey, Carter, people would
be like, hey, what are you doing? If she was a firefighter and she was like, hey, the cardie, he, he, he, the man, and he's they, they, they, they, they, they, they, th, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, and she's, and she's, and she's, they, and she's, th. And she's, and she's, and she's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, they, they, and she's, and she's, and she's, they, and she's, they..... I's, they. I's, they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. the the they. they. the the the they. they. the th. take me back. Ha, ha, ha, ha, if she was an air traffic controller, and she was like, yes, what you need to do is approach to
Cardy, can you, not now?
Cardi, not now.
And the people on the plane are just like,
we're going down, take him back.
This is not a conversation that Ofsted is just probably running off.
He's like, baby, baby, I'm sorry, I cheated, I cheated, it, cheated, it, woo, cheated, I cheated.
All right, let's move on to our main story.
It is no secret that the Trump administration has like a lot going on right now.
First of all, everything Trump has ever been involved in
is being investigated.
His company, his charity, his presidential campaign,
his inauguration, his presidency.
It's like he has the Midas touch, but instead of gold,
everything he touches turns to crimes.
But while that's going on, there are also big changes happening in Trump's White House.
For the past week, the president has been searching for someone to replace his chief of
staff, John Kelly, a man who's endured so much stress, it's easy to forget that he's only
26 years old.
Look at that, hmm.
And Trump has been getting rejected over and over this job, right?
Nick Ayers said no. Chris Christie said no.
Ben Carson started to say no,
and he should be finished saying no by Christmas.
It takes a very long time for him to say things.
But finally, over the weekend,
Trump found somebody willing to take the worst job in the country.
Breaking news, President Trump is named Mick Mulvaney, thethe current director of management and budget as his acting chief of staff.
Trump grew deeply frustrated at the rejections and the media narrative that no one of
high stature wanted to be his chief of staff.
So he decided suddenly on Friday afternoon to tap Mulvaney.
He met Friday with Trump for a scheduled discussion of the budget showdown officials said,
but he left as the acting director and Midlife Crisis Harry Potter,
came into the Oval Office, right, for a meeting about the budget,
and then Trump just ambushed him with another job offer.
He's like, so about this budget,
Chief of Staff says what?
What's her? He said it, folks.
Legally binding, no backsees.
Like, it makes it sound like the job search,
frustrated Trump so much. He just decided he'd hire whoever came through the door next.
And I'm just saying, we should be grateful that Mick Mulvaney got the job and not the
White House Rumba.
Could it just be like, the next one that could, congratulations to the new chief of staff, high energy,
always on the move.
And just like Eric spends these days eating garbage off the floor folks
And the reason not the reason filling that position was so hard is that it's almost impossible to find someone who likes President Trump and it turns out the new guy doesn't either in a matter of days he'll be Donald Trump's right-hand man, but in the days before the president was elected
it appeared Mick Mulvaney could barely stand him. Yes, I'm supporting Donald Trump's right-hand man. But in the days before the president was elected,
it appeared Mick Mulvaney could barely stand him.
Yes, I'm supporting Donald Trump.
I'm doing so. As enthusiastic, I can't give the fact
I think it's a terrible human being.
Oh, man.
That is a big jump. From calling someone a terrible human being
to becoming their right-hand man.
That's the kind of change of heart you only see in romantic comedies, you know?
It's always like, I'm the captain of the sports team and she's a dumb nerd
and then 80 minutes later it's like, wow, once I got to know her, she had a vagina.
And to be honest, finding this out,, it made me feel better about Mulvaney.
Because I don't think we want anyone working in the White House who doesn't think Trump is
a terrible human being.
Right?
I know that seems weird, but at least we know that Malvaney is normal.
Yeah. When Trump goes for that nuclear football, you're going to want someone reasonable
within tackling distance, that's football, you're going to want someone reasonable within tackling distance. That's all I'm saying.
And maybe, like maybe giving Mulvaney this job was Trump's form of revenge or who was
something else. Either way, it's good that the president was able to fill that role, because
it turns out he already has another position he needs to fill.
Breaking news out of the White House this morning, Ryan Zinke is out as Secretary of the Interior. Ryan Zinke is stepping down after two years at the agency and 17 separate investigations
into his conduct.
White House officials had been pushing Zinke to resign for weeks.
Concerned about the number of investigations the Democrat majority House could bring against
Zinke.
You know, Donald Trump's White House is like the club off the midnight.
For every guy that comes in, someone else has to leave.
Actually, when you think about it, Trump's White House is exactly like the club.
Right? You always wonder when the cops are going to shut it down.
It's full of weirder Russians.
There's never enough women.
And when the lights come on, everyone wonders why they didn't leave sooner?
They're like, why do we stay so long? Considering how many investigations Trump is facing, it's weird that he's firing Zinke
for being under investigation, you know?
It's a bit hypocritical.
He's like, you've got too much heat on you, man.
You just, there's too many people come, hold on, I'm getting a subpoena.
Hold on.
My reputation is just too pre, hold on.
to precious. And what I'm talking about is respect, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, no matter how many people join the White House, and no matter how many people leave
the White House, Donald Trump can rest easy knowing he's got one guy who's right or
die, Stephen Miller.
This guy over here, he's the architect of Trump's cruelest immigration policies.
The Muslim ban deporting dreamers, throwing kids in cages. That was all him. Yeah. If Trump is scarface, say hello to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th th th the th th th th the th th th the th thi thi thi thi thi thi tho tho the the the the the their the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the the the the the the the the thexxexexefexefefexexefexefexefexefefefexe. the. the thing dreamers, throwing kids in cages. That was all him.
Yeah. If Trump is scarface, say hello to his little friend. And this weekend
Miller was back on TV talking about how America has to pay for the wall. Emphasis on to pay.
We're going to do whatever is necessary to build the border wall to stop this ongoing crisis of illegal immigration.
And that means it's a very, if it comes to it, absolutely.
Did you, uh, did you catch that?
Did you guys, do you guys catch that?
Not the stuff, not the stuff about the southern border. No, I'm talking about the new,
the new border.
What's, what's going on over there? A bit of a migration happening another way.
Yeah?
All weekend, people were wondering what the hell happened with Stephen Miller's hair.
And I get why.
It's like someone said, who here hates immigrants?
And his hair was like, this guy, this guy, over here.
This guy.
Although, I don't think we should be going after Miller, right? I think
we should be going after his barber, Sherwin Williams. That's who we should be going after.
We should really be going after them. Like seriously, it barely even looks like hair.
What is that? Who let him leave the house like that? It looks like he got head butted by
Stephen Segal and it's stuck. I mean I guess I support Stephen Miller on this
because I'm just happy when he does anything to cover up his face. I wish he, you know
you just carry on, just go further with that. Let's see how far, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's a good
looking guy. I like that. You know what's crazy about this whole situation is that that that that th. You th. You th. You th, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you that, you that, you that, you that, you just that, you just that's that's that's that, you just that, you just that, you just that, you just that, you just that, you just that, you just that, you just that, you just that, you just that, you just that, you just that, you just just just just just just just just just just just just that's a good-looking guy. I like that.
You know what's crazy about this whole situation?
Is that Trump hates it when his people look bad on TV.
All right?
He hates it when people look weird, when they look stupid, when they get mocked,
which means this might be the only thing that could get patched
Adams over here fired.
Yeah, tomorrow the president the president the president the president the president the president the, the president's going to call him in like, I'm sorry, Stephen.
There's no place in this White House for someone with dumb hair.
Rumba, escort him out.
We'll be right back.
Welcome back to the daily show.
It's the holiday season.
You know, a time when you get to hang out with your friends and drink coffee. And there are a lot of people, there are a lot of people out there dreaming about a white
Christmas. But what about a black Christmas? Well for more on this we turn to Roywood Jr. and another
episode of CP Time. Welcome to CP time.
The only show.
That's for the culture.
Today, we discuss black people and the joyful festive holiday of Christmas.
So let's start with slavery.
Because remember, black people weren't celebrating Christmas before that.
None of us were on the boat ride over here going,
Fala la la la deck the halls.
But once they were in America, many slaves began to see Christmas for the blessing that it was.
A chance to escape why their owners were away for the holidays.
The great abolitionist Harriet Tupman even used Christmas to free her three brothers,
which may sound good to you, but if I let my sister free me around Christmas, I'd never hear the end of it.
Every year she'd be like, oh, thank you so much for the slippers.
This almost as good as the gift I got you last year, not shackles.
And then I'd be like, shut up Bernice, you ruin the holidays.
Of course, music is an important part of Christmas to of of of of of th of, Bernice, you ruin the holidays.
Of course, music is an important part of Christmas, and black people have been covering and improving
the classics for years.
Like let it snow by boys to men.
Or do you hear what I hear?
By me.
Here's a sample.
Do you hear what I hear?
Sounds like oppression.
But some holiday music is tainted with the history of racism,
like the classic jingle bells,
which at first just seems like an innocent song about reckless driving.
But back in 1857, its first public performance was part of a minstrel show
song by a bunch of white dudes and blackface. It's a terrible legacy and
that's why every time I see a one-horse open sleigh I key that shit for
justice. But it is also important to recall the true reason we celebrate Christmas.
Santa. The breakthrough for black Santas was in 1943, when
one of Harlem's biggest department stores hired the country's first Black
Santa Claus, which surely was a distraction for customers who didn't know
what was going on. I'm sure they was all like, who's a niggin' the red jacket talking to my child?
After that, Black Santas took a 70-year L until two years ago, when Larry Jefferson became
the first Black Santa at the White-ass Mall of America.
A victory for our people.
Mostly because Larry used his employee discount to get all the black people he knew 20% off.
A hero indeed. But Chris Kringle would be nothing without the gifts
he brings. The toys. Without the toys, Santa's just a fat bastard that broke in your house.
And for decades, manufacturers didn't even consider making toys for black children.
And when they finally did, some of them would just paint white dolls black.
Like this Willie talk doll. Look at that. Looks like th like Willie got thrown into a b the g the g the g the g. the g. thi. thi. thi. thi.them would just paint white dolls black. Like this Willie Talk doll.
Look at that.
Looks like Willie got thrown into a bonfire.
But the great thing about kids is they'll like whatever you give them because children are not very intelligent.
Like my favorite toy when I was a youngster was Mr. Chomp-chomp. Oh, I'd play with Mr. Chompi-Chomp for hours.
I make him babble, I make him talk to me, and lose all his teeth.
It took me 45 years to realize this.
Mr. Chompi-chump was a staple.
A good friend Cornell West told me that.
That's all the time we have for today.
I'm Roy Wood Roy Roy Roy Roy Roy Roy Roy the time the time the time th th th th th today. I'm Roywood Jr.
This has been CP time.
And remember, before the culture,
make sure you put my website up at the end
so people can order my compact disc and cassettes. Fuller June, everybody. We'll be right back. John Stewart here.
unnebly exciting news. My new podcast, The Weekly Show.
We're going to be talking about the election, economics, ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches.
Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to Jayne Short.
My guest tonight is a sociologist and author who teaches at the University of Chicago.
She is the writer of Marvel's new comic book series, Ironheart.
And her latest book is called Ghosts in the schoolyard, racism and school closings on Chicago's Southside.
Please welcome, Eve Ewing. Welcome. Thank you.
Thanks, thanks for having me.
This is so cool to have you here.
Shytown. Is that what you shouted? Yeah, that is.
Nice. Okay, you roll with the posse. This is nice. It's a Chicago thing. It's a Chicago thing. Yeah, yeah. T thi thin. Tha. they just shout this is tho. tho tho tho tho tho tho cl tho clos tho tho clos tho clos tho the tho clos tho the tho clos the thin, the thin, the thin, the the the closing thin. the closing the closing the closing thin. thin. thin. the closing thin. the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the. the. the. the the the. the the the the the the the the the the the the the. the. the. the. the. the. Shytown, is that what you shouted? Yeah, that is a- Nice, okay.
You roll with a posse, this is nice.
It's a Chicago thing.
It's a Chicago thing?
They just shout this everywhere you go.
All the time, walking down the street all the time.
Okay, that could be very cool and just unique to America but the story speaks about racism in schools that are being closed on Chicago
South Side. It seems like a problem that many politicians would claim is just a
financial issue. You are a teacher, you are somebody who's worked in this
institution. What is the problem itself? Well the problem is that in
America we have two different standards for what kinds of education we want to offer young people. So if you have th a the to to to the to have to have to have to have to have the to have the the to have to have the their to have their to be their the their their their their their to be a to be a to be a to be a toea their, their, toea, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thea, theaugh, thea, thea, thea, thea, thea.a, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the problem is that in America we have two different standards for what kinds of education we want to offer young people.
So if you have money or if you have access to private school or if you live in an affluent
suburb you get access to a certain type of education and if you're poor and you're a person
of color, especially if you're black, you get access to a different type of education.
And so when policymakers are making decisions about kids in those types of schools, the kinds of schools I write about that people call failing schools, terrible schools, there's a different set of standards.
And when you look at those different set of standards, how do they affect the kids?
Because when I was reading through the book, there were instances in stories that really
go back further in time than you would ever think the problem begins. You'd thin' the school, the thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th, their, their, thi's their, thi.. their, thi's thii. thiiiii's different, their thiiiiiiii's different, their, their, their, their, their, their, just talk about the school, but you argue that you can't just look at the school, you have to look at everything that led up to the school.
Why?
Well, this is America, where we know that our country is founded on a history of institutional racism
and chattel slavery and Jim Crow and redlining and so on and so forth.
And it may seem strange to bring those trying to make in the book is that in order for us to understand the way schools operate now, we have to understand that history.
And it's not that, it's not that long ago.
And so I wrote a book that's about 2013, but it begins in 1916 by talking about the
great migration and how black people came to Chicago.
And I think that that's something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something, that's that's that's that, that's about the country we live in, and that in most places, if you look at the history of how the city or the town got to be the way it is, there's racism in the
mix.
Spoiler alert, just because America.
Let me ask you this.
A lot of people shut down in America as soon as you bring up racism or race, as soon as you say,
that people are like, theyr. the people, as people, as people, as people, the people, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the city, the city, their, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the their, the city, their, their, their, the city, their, their, the city, they. the city. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. tho, they. thooooooooooooo, they. their, they. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their argue that this is less about racism and more just about money, they say, well, Eve, it's not about black or white, it's about rich or
poor. How do you respond to that? Well, that's simply not true, and that's the
first thing I would say. And that we actually know that segregation breaks down
across racial lines both in housing and in schools. So black people, affluent black people in this country are more likely to live
in low-income black neighborhoods
than they are to live alongside white affluent people.
Low income white people are more likely
to live alongside white affluent people.
And because that's the way housing breaks down
that has huge implications for the kind of schools that we have.
We also know that we don't actually save money through school closures, and so the kind of budget argument doesn't really stand up.
But I think that it is uncomfortable for many people to talk about race and racism,
and part of what I also wanted to do with the book is to help people understand that
racism is a structural thing. It's not just about what's in your heart, or how you feel
or how you feel or interpersonal interactions, it's kind of the air we breathe. It's interesting because there's specifically a section in the book where you break that down
and you talk about how so many people feel like the label of racism is attached to them
and they get defensive, they say, I'm not racist.
I love these kids, I want them all to succeed.
And you argue in the book, you're like,. Would you argue that that is where it all begins?
Because Chicago is often held up as, you know,
America's child with issues.
Look at Chicago.
That's one way different.
Oh, but look at what's happening in Chicago.
Look at Chicago, this.
Would you argue that it starts at the schools?
Or is all the schools a I think that white supremacy and the history of racism in this country I often say it's kind of like the virus and these things are like the cold. They're like the sneeze.
So these are the symptoms of a much larger issue. And so the book is about schools, but it's also not really about the way racism and inequality shape.
The way we make policy decisions and how that affects kids and how that affects kids. Right, and if somebody's out there going, well, Eve, you know what, racism is not my issue, why should I care?
Why should I care about a bunch of kids in an inner city
who don't have the best school?
Well, I don't spend a lot of time
trying to convince that person.
And I think that there's a percentage of people,
I think that there's thoughtful, kind people who lack information. And those people, I invite them and welcome them to learn from the book.
If you're a person that doesn't fundamentally believe that it's important to provide a high-quality
education to all kids in the United States and beyond, regardless of where they come from

This book is not for assholes.
Let me ask you this, though.
Where do you think...
My publicist is like, oh gosh.
I think that's a great selling point.
It's just like, don't, don't, if you're an asshole, do not buy the book.
I think that's a great...
Get it from the library or you know.
The issues that America that America that America that America that America that America that America that America that America that America that America that America that America the issues the issues that is the issues th America faces around its schooling are often, you know, I guess people
often point to funding.
But where do you think people can begin?
Where do you think politicians can begin?
And where do you think communities can begin in rehabilitating schools and getting them
to the place where there's not the failing schools?
I think the first thing is to understand public schools as public goods and that these are all of our schools regardless of whether you have a child enrolled there
or not. This is something that all of us support and this is something that
belongs to all of us and so we have to take ownership over that. Right. And
the second thing I think is we have a problem with hyper-individualism in our country and so people like to focus on what's best to the the their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their their their their their their their. their is their. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi is thi. thi. This is thi. This is thi. This is th. th. This is th. th. This is th. This is th. This is something is something is something is th. th. This is th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi is something is something is something is something is something is something is something is something is something is something is something is something is thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And ththe top right we're gonna have schools compete against each other and then the best
school is gonna come out on top right and we're gonna incentivize them to
succeed right and you can't incentivize away poverty you can't incentivize a way
struggle and these are the things that kids are coming to school with and these are the things that thinks that the things thi thi thi thi the thi thi the the thi thi the thi thi the thi thi thi the thi thi the the the thi. thi. thi. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the the. their their their the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the theeeeeeat thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. theathe things that are that public educators face every day And so I think that if we start seeing those as collective problems and stop focusing on you know the special kids that make it out
Right, right, right.
But ensuring that every kid has access to a high quality education that's something we have the means to do.
