Kevin Kumashiro

In this compelling discussion, Kevin Kumashiro, former dean and author, and Laura K. Fields, scholar and author of 'Furious Minds,' delve into the MAGA vision for education. Kumashiro reveals how Christian nationalism seeks to reshape public schools with a dual strategy of deinstitutionalization and re-Christianization. Fields introduces the 'new right' intellectuals influencing a push for patriotic curricula and critiques the response to the 1619 Project. Both guests highlight the urgent need to address the meaning crisis in education while advocating for a pluralistic approach in schools.
