From the description: *It’s 2015 and one Brooklyn middle school is about to receive a huge influx of new students.
In this episode, Chana Joffe-Walt, a reporter, follows what happens when the School of International Studies’ 6th grade class swells from 30 mostly Latino, Black and Middle Eastern students, to 103 — an influx almost entirely driven by white families.
Everyone wants “what’s best for the school” but it becomes clear that they don’t share the same vision of what “best” means.*
Comrades, I'd be very interested to read your reactions, there are two episodes so far I have listened to the first episode only. A pure Marxist interpretation of the various class/race antagonisms and the subtle way they are enshrined in one Brooklyn public school. Check it out!
