In this episode Mike and Glen talk about how educators have responded to the current protests surrounding the murder of George Floyd. Our guest this week is educator and speaker Michael Bonner.

Guest: Michael Bonner

We had this talk with Michael planned a number of weeks ago. We obviously could never have expected that America would be gripped not just in the middle of a medical pandemic but now a societal pandemic as well. In fact, the societal pandemic has been there all along. That's what we talked to Michael about this week. This was the toughest interview we've ever had to prepare for. We learned a lot from Michael and we're so happy he took the time to share his voice with us during this time.
