Jon Valant, director of the Brown Center on Education Policy and a senior fellow of governance studies at Brookings, talks about education and what's taught in public schools as a wedge issue for voters, from "CRT" and beyond. Plus: Peniel Joseph, Barbara Jordan Chair in Ethics and Political Values, founding director of the Center for the Study of Race and Democracy, professor of history at the University of Texas at Austin and the author of The Third Reconstruction: America's Struggle for Racial Justice in Twenty-First Century (Basic Books, 2022), shares his take on how to teach an accurate and inclusive American history in the public schools and whether it can be done without creating a white backlash that threatens to drown the actual history out.
