In this Tough Girl EXTRA episode, we catch up with Tiphaine Muller, the intrepid French adventurer who continues to push her boundaries through long-distance cycling and remote, high-altitude trekking. Now 31 and based in Chamonix, France, Tiphaine has spent the last decade traveling the world by bike, exploring five continents. Her latest journey saw her pedaling from the Alps to the Himalayas before tackling one of the toughest and most remote treks on earth: The Great Himalaya Trail (GHT) in Nepal. This conversation picks up from where we left off in her first Tough Girl Podcast interview (November 2021) — where she shared her early adventures and passion for slow travel. This time, we dive deep into her 2024 journey:  Cycling from France to Nepal through the Balkans, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and the Himalayas — all while managing extreme heat, border crossings, and a strict budget of €10/day.  Hiking the Great Himalaya Trail solo (West to East), over 80 days, through towering 5,000m+ passes, remote villages, and ever-changing terrain — while battling physical exhaustion, route-finding issues, and high-altitude nutrition struggles. Tiphaine candidly shares: The logistics and challenges of arranging permits for restricted zones without a guide Her coping strategies for trekking alone in high mountains Cultural highlights from cycling through Turkey and Iran How she funds her travels and balances life back home as a social worker Her future goals — including film-making and another epic cycle across South America This episode is a deep, honest reflection on the highs and lows of big adventures and what it takes — mentally, physically, and emotionally — to keep moving forward when things don't go to plan.  Don't miss this inspiring update from a woman who truly lives the spirit of adventure, one pedal stroke and step at a time.  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

Give to help Chris make Truce We talk about racism in the United States like it only happens in the South. But the nasty truth is that the North is also guilty of racist behavior. This is evident in the way that we behaved when schools were integrated by bus. Brown v. Board of Education called for public schools to integrate. However, it took decades for many public schools to carry out this directive. It wasn't until the 1970s that the Boston schools were forced to integrate. But how? Schools are frequently attended by children who live in a given school district. But the North had divided itself up by race, forcing black people to live only in certain areas of a city. Black children were not going to white public schools because they simply didn't live in white neighborhoods. This was de facto segregation at work. So when schools were called to integrate, they had to come up with a plan. They would bus students between schools, thus integrating them. But there were problems. In Boston, they started this program by cross-populating poor schools with poor schools. So the quality of education didn't go up. Violence broke out across the city as parents and children alike struggled to welcome people who looked different than them. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Zebulon Miletsky, Associate Professor, Africana Studies and History at Stony Brook University.

Would you send your kids to a potentially unsafe school? What if it meant helping to integrate it? Was the uproar over integrated busing about more than just race? Why is it that black parents sometimes didn't want their kids going to formerly white schools? How do people like Ms. Hicks build a political career on a single issue?

In the summer of 1975, white schoolchildren at some Louisville, Kentucky, public schools were faced with a choice: stay in the school system and undergo busing to integrate the schools, or leave the system entirely. A remarkable new study by the economist Ethan Kaplan shows that for students who stayed, busing had lasting effects on their political identities, making them more likely to identify as Democrats, support unions, and say that the world is not inherently fair.  Further reading:  “A Different World: Enduring Effects of School Desegregation on Ideology and Attitudes,” by Ethan Kaplan, Jorg L.

This session shares my conversation with School Committee Chairperson Dave Callaghan. This is a new episode of our continuing “Chalkboard Chat” series. We had our discussion virtually via Zoom on Thursday, March 13, 2025. We had the opportunity to recap the Joint Budget Listening Sessions and the School Committee meeting of March 11, 2025. We cover Recognition of multiple sets of students for accomplishments in (arts, writing, painting, ceramics), and for those in the DECA program who were State championsThe redistricting facility update was talked about. The doc itself was posted on Wednesday. It lays out the process in 3 phases of immediate, near term, and long term apparently in detail.The Transportation update was good, ultimately while some more students are expected to ride the bus, with the redistricting, travel times should be improved, and potential for 2 less buses remains. Now, this is a model based upon current students in the district. The key will be the bus enrollment/payment process beginning in April, that closes at the end of school in June to confirm the bus routing that would really be required.The consideration of fees was a discussion only topic. This doc was posted on Wednesday. There was discussion of going to 4 tiers of sports fees (rather than 3). Hockey effectively moves to its own tier. Busing fees are being considered for reduction from $500 to $387 with a return of the family cap, and capping at $1000.A summary of the Joint Budget recommendation for the override of $3.8M on June 3 will be taken up by the Town Council at their March 19 meeting.The recording runs about 35 minutes, so let's listen in.--------------Contact info for Dave Callaghan -> callaghand@franklinps.net School Committee Meeting InfoFranklin TV video for replay -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocJsUiAaOw0 The agenda doc -> https://core-docs.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/4780/FPSD/5388334/SCAGENDA_3-11-25.pdf Meeting packet (other docs as they are released after the meeting will get posted here) -> https://www.franklinps.net/documents/departments/school-committee/meeting-packets/2024---25-meeting-packets/march-11%2C-2025-sc-meeting-packet/770110 Transportation update -> https://core-docs.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/4780/FPSD/5408487/Franklin_Public_Schools_Reorganization_Transportation.pptx.pdfFacility projects update -> https://core-docs.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/4780/FPSD/5408488/Capital_Projects_and_Facilities_Improvements.pdf Fees analysis for discussion only ->

Today:Leola Hampton and her daughter Maya Scott are featured in GBH's new documentary – Never Cried – commemorating 50 years since the start of Boston's forced integration plan – busing. They discuss the anniversary and reflect on the intergenerational impacts of busing today. Live Music Friday with the Berklee Music Inclusion Ensemble – with the long-term goal of creating a network of accomplished musicians with disabilities that can serve as mentors for youth with disabilities, they perform for us ahead of a free show Friday night.

This summer at GBH News we've been bringing you stories surrounding the Boston busing crisis...now 50 years out.Paris Alston follows in the footsteps of history...taking in the stories that unfolded in the streets.

Today:We talk with two people who were bused in the city of Boston -- a decision 50 years ago with lasting impacts -- Michael Curry, later head of the Boston NAACP, and Kim Janey, who would go on to become the city's first Black, first female Mayor. Joining them in conversation is Ted Landsmark, whose image came to define the moment by way of the Pulitzer Prize winning photo “The Soiling of Old Glory.” He's now a distinguished professor at Northeastern. 

On this week's Education Gadfly Show podcast, Michael Goldstein, co-founder of the Math Learning Lab in Boston, joins Mike and David to discuss the track record of high-dosage tutoring in mitigating pandemic learning loss. Then, on the Research Minute, Amber shares a study on the long-term effects of the METCO program, which aims to increase diversity and reduce racial isolation by busing students from Boston to surrounding suburbs.Recommended content: Mike Goldstein and Bowen Paulle, The narrow path to do it right: Lessons from vaccine making for high-dosage tutoring, Thomas B.

In September, 1974 – two days after her 14th birthday – Leola Hampton boarded a school bus that would launch her into the heart of one of the most divisive and defining moments in Boston history: court-ordered school desegregation. She and her older sister, Linda Stark, were bused from their home in the predominantly Black neighborhood of Roxbury into the white, working-class neighborhood of South Boston. They navigated a violent and virulently racist high school experience so scarring that a half-century later, they are only now beginning to discuss it with each other. In a new documentary called “‘Never Cried': Boston's Busing Legacy,” produced by GBH News' Emily Judem and Stephanie Leydon, Leola and Linda, along with their family and experts in local history and trauma, share their story. 

On September 12, 1974, Boston Public Schools bused the first students across town as a part of a highly controversial school integration program. The program was a result of Judge W. Arthur Garrity's federal court order that mandated that both black and white students be bused to schools outside of their neighborhoods. What followed was a series of protests and riots that helped cement Boston's reputation as an exceptionally racist city. While this moment is a major flashpoint in Boston's history, it is not the whole story. Busing was the culmination of a years-long fight between a Black community that wanted a better education for its children and a white community resistant to change. Today on The Common, Boston journalist, lecturer, and historian Dart Adams, joins us to break down this history. If you want to learn more about the history of busing in Boston, check out WBUR's series “Busing's Legacy in Boston, 50 Years Later,” which was done in collaboration with The Emancipator. Greater Boston's weekly podcast where news and culture meet.

Growing up in East Boston, Robert Lewis Jr. and Sal LaMattina have been best friends since they were in the first grade. They both received an education of a lifetime when, in 1974, a federal court order forced the city to bus kids to different schools in the name of racial integration. Forced busing resulted in a racist backlash that tore their East Boston neighborhood apart. They remember it like it was yesterday: stabbings at school, a firebomb in the kitchen, and a community fractured. Lewis Jr. is now the CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Boston, and LaMattina served as a Boston city councilor for a decade in the 2000s. They discuss their memories on this 50th anniversary of busing - and their hopes for the next 50 years of public education in Boston.

The time has come to kick off a new school year! We are so excited to have teachers here preparing to welcome students back next week.  Visit the friendly link on our website: hsd.k12.or.us/backtoschool to access electronic versions of back-to-school packets, supply lists, and more. For the academic calendar, please visit hsd.k12.or.us/calendar.  Busing information is available on the “MyBus” app. Please note that as students continue to register for school, route times will be adjusted. Please check the app frequently through the first week of school for the most current information.  Later this week and primarily on Wednesday, August 28, staff will be reaching out to families to make connections and to see if there are any supports they or their students may need to have a successful year.  The first day of school for students in grades 1 through 6, 7 and 9 is Wednesday, September 4th. Students in grades K, 8, and 10 through 12 will join them on Thursday, September 5th.  Keep in mind that on Wednesdays, all schools follow an “academic seminar” schedule. This schedule shortens the regular school day by 30 minutes so that staff have time to collaborate, analyze data, learn, and plan. For students in elementary school, this means their school day ends 30 minutes earlier than normal; for students in middle and high school, this means their school day begins 30 minutes later than normal.  Our featured event is a visit from Oregon Department of Education Director, Dr. Charlene Williams. On Wednesday, July 31st, Dr. Williams visited the elementary Bilingual Enrichment Program at Imlay Elementary School. This program was one of several that were offered to HSD students this summer, made possible in large part by $1.5 million in Summer Learning Grant funds that were approved by elected officials in the 2024 Legislative Session. Across all summer programs - including the secondary BEP at Century, credit attainment programs at our comprehensive high schools, Early Literacy programs, Extended School Year, and more - HSD served over 2,800 students. Many thanks to all of the staff, students, and families who participated and made these programs such a success! Superintendent Reiman welcomes students and families back to the 2024-25 school year in a video message, highlighting our support for each and every student, as well as our commitment to providing safe, welcoming, and enriching learning environments in our schools.

1974 marked a tumultuous time in Boston where white parents of school children pushed back – at times violently against the use of busing as a form of integration. This year, marking the fiftieth anniversary, the Boston Globe carried an investigative retrospective. They found, “50 years after busing decision, a school system still unequal, still segregated.” Further, “Busing was set in motion by rightfully furious Black parents making modest demands: equal educational opportunity for their children and good schools in their own neighborhoods. It never happened.” What went wrong? Everyday Injustice spoke recently to Melissa Barragan Taboada, editor the Globe's award-winning Great Divide team, which investigates educational inequities in Boston and throughout the state, who spent 20 years as a reporter and editor in Austin, TX and Kris Hooks, who began his career in Sacramento. The team of reporters were able to track down many of the families involved in the lawsuit – most of whom were willing to speak about their experiences 50 years ago – their regrets and frustrations. Listen as Everyday Injustice talks about the injustices of 1974 and 2024 in Boston – what made this situation so volatile and why ultimately all the struggle and sacrifice produced no discernible change.

By 1975, many elementary school students were bused from Chinatown to schools in Charlestown. Today, there's still a significant number of Chinese students attending a Charlestown elementary school. Still, 50 years after court-ordered desegregation, providing bilingual students with a solid education is difficult to achieve.

It's been 50 years since a judge ordered Boston Public Schools to desegregate. How is Boston reckoning with the violent aftermath of that process today? GBH's Saraya Wintersmith talks to a student, a teacher, and a nonprofit leader. Plus: Callie Crossley is marking Juneteenth with a stepped-up version of her childhood favorite red drinks and a look back at the holiday's history.

Boston schools are more segregated now than than they were 30 years ago. Did integration fail, or did the people?

Nearly 50 years after the ruling mandating Boston desegregate its schools, two people who lived through that history joined WBUR's Morning Edition to look back on what happened and how it still impacts us today.

This week we kicked off our interviews with 2024 candidates by interviewing Molly Gene Crain, the candidate for Kentucky Senate in District 27. She spoke about her passion for public service, her reasons for running, and what she hopes to accomplish in Frankfort. Robert and Jazmin also discussed the end of the legislative session and the JCPS School Board coming to a conclusion on the issue of busing to magnet schools.

The Supreme Court said in 1954 that segregated schools were inherently illegal. It took decades to fully address the problem. While events in the South are often discussed, events North also are important to focus on to understand the history.

While speaking with Laura Ingraham on Fox News, Texas Governor Greg Abbott responded to complaints from mayors like Lori Lightfoot and Eric Adams regarding illegal migrants being bussed to big-cities—explaining that he allows the migrants to select which cities they want to reside in, provided the city is a self-proclaimed sanctuary city.
