Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The District is used to controversies over education policy. But a debate about homeschooling has sparked one of the most contentious education disputes the city has seen in a long time. School board members are preparing to vote on new homeschooling regulations next week, and they’re getting thousands of e-mails from parents around the country trying to sway those votes. Join Kojo as we explore the politics of homeschooling.
