Summary

Raise yourself up by your own bootstraps. This is a refrain we hear all the time, especially as Americans catechized in the dogma of personal responsibility. But what if some people don't have bootstraps? What if some don't even have boots?

This week David and Curtis welcome educational expert and Rice University sociology professor Ruth López Turley. Raised on the U.S./Mexico border, Ruth's own educational story is fascinating and lends special weight to her observations about educational equity and how the scriptures (including Mary's Magnificat) might lead us to some surprising and challenging conclusions.
