We're Adam, Micah Ryan and Kevin and this is UnApologetics. We are a Grand Rapids-based podcast and blog that talks about pop culture, history, and sometimes politics. New episodes are uploaded once a week (or more if there's a special). Content also on: www.unapologeticspodcast.wordpress.com Faceā¦
After a long hiatus we're finally back with a new (and now slightly outdated) episode! In this one it's the original three guys sitting down to have a chat about civility, why it's useless in combating fascism and how "The Discourse" is just an excuse for boring cowards to look intelligent. We also talk about How I Met Your Mother is Friends for Millennials and why both shows are equally terrible.
In this episode Ryan and Adam sit down in Adam's car (after apparently losing room reservation privileges at Grand Valley) to discuss the state of education in the United States. Before getting into that they talk about Republican candidate for governor, Bill Schuette, and why his particular brand of ghoulishness is unsurprising, but still hysterically terrifying. They then go on to talk about the West Virginia teachers' strike, why this is good for a broader labor movement in the United States and the overall condition of modern, American education. They discuss their experiences having gone through the public education system, how to fix its problems and why private education is a system that is ultimately harmful to education writ large.
