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 exterior of Rockville High School.
Two Rockville High School students were arrested for the alleged rape of a female student in a bathroom during the school day. Both suspects are undocumented immigrants who had begun attending Montgomery County Public Schools last fall. The incident has put the county at the center of a national debate, and locally it has ignited heated exchanges among community members. It has also sparked fear within the county’s Hispanic community about rising racial tensions. Kojo explores safety at Montgomery County Public Schools, the incident’s effect on the Latino community, and what it means for the Maryland town to become a political talking point in national media.
