Thank you for this review. I just finished the podcast and really liked the focus on what white parents do to support and distract from public school funding. I also appreciate how your review ties it to systemic racism. However, I would note that the systemic racism that you point out so well is still powered by white parents; so although the dots are not connected in the podcast to the root cause of systemic racism in funding and housing desegregation is still reinforces the power of whites, in their collective group identity, as enablers and perpetuators of racial inequities in our public educational system. Within this focus, though, the podcast unintentionally reinforces a common stereotype and falsehood--that Blacks and Browns are ok with schools where the buildings are substandard and there are no books and the school is chaotic. They/we are not ok and have and continually speak out against it. Yet, white parents and white voters hold the power, and in their unconscious and conscious bias are enablers of this inequities. I think that is the point of the podcast, and for that I am grateful that they are pointed the conversation in the right direction.
