Mom (Joey) left $20 on the counter so Lucia and Sarah are eating powdered donuts for dinner, joined by special guests Hannah Bluhm and Dani Castone, two Mills College Alumni with the scoop on the school’s latest implosion. From farming the school’s history of an inclusive, diverse student body to buff up degree mill stats, to the ways colleges get roped into gentrification efforts through real estate speculation, we talk the commonality of struggle that pervades these false flag institutional financial crises, plus Lucia and Hannah’s mysterious past at an unnamed workhouse for painterly urchins (ok, you got us, no one actually likes a coquette, it’s the Koonster).

Episode 85 - Broken Education System
Loading

We discuss our extremely overburdened public education system, which has been helping millions of families during the pandemic and yet is being gutted by austerity (via “progressive” Democrats!!). We also talk about how teachers are having to protect their international students from ICE, and how many schools have no emergency plan for the staff and will potentially just close instead of adapt to new safety standards.
