Nov 28 SPECIAL: CLASSROOM DISCRIMINATION: Through the Eyes of Peers

We turned over the microphones to six 7th graders from St. Paul;-based Twin Cities Academy to explore their chosen topic of how their peers of color and gender may be treated differently than white students. TTT's Andy Driscoll and Lynnell Mickelsen step aside for Madeline Driscoll, Tessa Ferguson, Abby Ewen-Schofner, Anna Esteb, Emily Syberud and Ana Schaff to pursue this inquiry as to why all children are not treated equally in elementary and secondary classrooms. JOIN THE DISCUSSION. CALL 612-341-0980 during the show. GUESTS: State Representative Carlos Mariani, Executive Director, Minnesota Minority Education Project; Jeanne Nordstrom, Retired Teacher, Webster Magnet School, St. Paul; Nissan Brown, Minneapolis student attending Edina High in The Choice Is Yours desegregation project.
