Flip Side of the Coin
Flip Side of the Coin is a podcast where people can go to explore different viewpoints on many issues. We take an issue and in one episode we examine and explore one viewpoint, and then in the next episode we do the same for the other side of the issue. Our goal is to give our listeners a place where they can explore differing viewpoints and their merits without feeling the need to defend themselves or argue back. Join us as we explore political and social issues, and even break down some issues that are just for fun, as we examine how others view the world in Flip Side of the Coin.
Flip Side of the Coin
Against the Department of Education
We continue our discussion around the Department of Education and explore some of the reasons why critics support dismantling or significantly reducing it.
We explore the 10th Amendment, which provides protection for state and local autonomy by reserving rights to them that are not specifically designated to the federal government. We also look at the No Child Left Behind Act as an example of how national policies can impose a one-size-fits-all approach to the nuanced process of educating to the needs of the student.
This is also our last episode for the season. We will be taking a short break but will return in January with more topics to explore and discuss!
