In this episode, the speaker delves into the concerning proposals within Project 2025 that aim to limit federal civil rights enforcement and change student discipline policies, which would disproportionately harm marginalized students. The speaker highlights the critical role of the disparate impact standard and warns that its elimination would further marginalize vulnerable populations. The discussion covers the potential long-term impacts, such as the perpetuation of the school-to-prison pipeline and widening achievement gaps. The speaker urges listeners to become "equity warriors" and make informed voting choices to support leaders and policies that prioritize fairness and inclusion in education.
