Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
It was a revelation that surprised many D.C. officials: local special education students are being sent hundreds of miles away to a Massachusetts school that uses shock therapy as a form of discipline. But some critics say it was just another reminder of the bigger problems in the city’s embattled special ed system. Join Kojo as we look at the controversy and what’s being done to improve the options for special needs students.
Guests
- Peter Nickles General Counsel to D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty; Incoming Acting Attorney General, District of Columbia
