Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Montgomery County Public Schools recently denied a local girl admission to a language immersion program, and her father now says discrimination is to blame. He filed a civil rights complaint with the federal government, alleging that the school district fails to conduct meaningful outreach to minority families. His complaint comes after a recently-released report revealed that language immersion and other special programs in the district are disproportionately filled with white students.
