Summary
3.13.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Environmental Justice Eliminated, Ill. AG Stops Teacher Prep Cuts, School Choice Debate
The Environmental Protection Agency is shutting down its division that helps low-income communities overwhelmed by pollution. Dr. Mustafa Ali will explain the devastating impact this will have on Black communities.
The Illinois Attorney General has successfully fought against the Department of Education's attempt to cut off millions of dollars in grants to train and support new teachers. Kwame Raoul will discuss the case and what's next as the DOE approaches elimination.
We will also examine the DOE's recent cuts and what they mean for those receiving financial assistance and those who need to pay off student loans.
The issue of school choice continues to spark heated debates. You'll hear from a Black Texas State Representative on the topic, as well as insights from Congresswoman Summer Lee, who argues that the school choice agenda being pushed by conservatives will only expand existing inequalities.
