Trump’s Education Agenda. 

During his second term in office, President-elect Trump is expected to eliminate the Department of Education, push for private school choice, dismantle DEI programs and roll back protections for transgender students. What other changes to education are in the pipeline? What could be the impact of Trump’s new immigration policies on colleges and universities?

Guest: Patricia Gándara, Research Professor of Education, University of California Los Angeles-UCLA, Co-Director, The Civil Rights Project, Los Angeles, CA.

Bilingual Education in California: The Long Road Back. California banned bilingual education for nearly 20 years and while now it has removed the official barriers and bilingual education helps many students in need, the state hasn’t recovered from the damage. A reporter checked into the challenges and has the story.

Guests: Tara García Mathewson, Education Reporter, CalMatters and The Markup, New York, NY; Bárbara Flores, Bilingual Education Researcher and Advocate, Immediate Past President of the Central Advisory Board of Education-CABE, San Bernardino, CA.
