***In this episode, we’re thinking out loud about the current and future state of Arizona’s public schools. This is not an endorsement or an indictment of any candidate.

Children Are Not Safe in Arizona -SA in Washington Elementary School District

***One of the most egregious sex crimes took place on school grounds last week. The justice system and the education system both failed to protect an innocent 10-year-old student. Parents are entrusting their kids to a system that can’t perform its most basic function: student safety. This incident left me wondering if Arizona leaders care about children at all.*** * LISTEN ON YT: www.youtube.com/@mythofeducation [http://www.youtube.com/@mythofeducation] * LISTEN ONLINE: www.mythofeducation.com [http://www.mythofeducation.com] * LISTEN ON RSS: https://rss.com/podcasts/mythofeducationpodcast/ [https://rss.com/podcasts/mythofeducationpodcast/] Disclaimer: All views and opinions expressed by hosts and guests are their own and do not reflect the views of any public or private person or entity.
