Outrageous Love the Podcast: Our Journeys to Responsiveness
The Summer Fun Episode, Who Stole The VABB?, A True Crime, Season 6, Episode 4
It is the middle of July and that means it is time for the annual summer fun episode. We are delving into the true crime genre, which is by far the most popular podcasts. Our true crime involves a theft. A student's opportunity to be cultural in the context of school was stolen and more importantly an opportunity to be validated and affirmed was lost. Listen in as we follow what happens to an African American 8th grader who experiences a cultural misunderstanding that escalates into being punished for being his cultural self, which is what cultural and linguistic responsiveness should be. In CLR, we call this escalation a true crime. Hear from the student, called Student A (not his real name), directly in this episode. Dr. Hollie's two cents will set the context. Get excited!
