This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, we have some extra pod!
Logan Davis of the Colorado Times Recorder has been investigating the school board politics in a small town just north of Colorado Springs for the better part of a year, and he’s got a crazy story to tell that everyone with an interest in public schools needs to hear. We've devoted an entire episode to discussing the wild Woodland Park School District, which includes notable characters from the 2006 Jefferson County School Board recall, that has made national news for all the wrong reasons. The hard-right shift in Woodland Park is a test case for a bigger effort funded by some of the most well-known names in Republican politics. This is everything you need to know before it comes to a school board near you.
That’s it for this episode!
