In this episode, Caitlin & Regina sit down with recent high school graduates to discuss what their experience was like taking an Ethnic Studies course with content that has been outlawed in several states in the US. Students reflect on how their African American and Latinx studies class impacted the way they view their community, city, and country--as well as give us insight into why a class like "AALS" is so important. We also dive into what type of educator should teach courses like this, and what a good educator, in general, is like.
