Hi everyone,This is not a real episode and I'm planning to take it down in a couple of weeks. I made an MDM video episode, but I can't tell if it's good or not. I think it's good, but before I publish it, I was hoping to get your opinion.

It's 36 minutes and you definitely don't have to watch the whole thing, but I'd appreciate your perspectives. Please email me at tama.themdm@gmail.com. Thanks!
Schools have become sites of policing and surveillance that mirror the criminal legal system. To address this, we need to understand what our guest calls the “school-to-prison nexus,” the intersecting web of racist, carceral systems that criminalize our youth.We discuss the history of organizing against the school-to-prison pipeline and how the call for “Counselors Not Cops” needs an abolitionist framework to succeed. We also highlight important wins from decades-long fights like the recent vote to end the school resource office (SRO) program in Chicago Public Schools.Episode Guest:Erica Meiners is a writer, educator and organizer. Their recent books include For the Children? Protecting Innocence in a Carceral State, a co-edited anthology The Long Term: Resisting Life Sentences, Working Towards Freedom, and the co-authored *Feminist and the Sex Offender: Confronting Sexual Harm, Ending State Violence* as well as 2022's Abolition. Feminism. Now. Most importantly, Erica has collaboratively started and works alongside others in a range of ongoing mobilizations for liberation, particularly movements that involve access to free public education for all, including people during and after incarceration, and other queer abolitionist struggles. They are a member of Critical Resistance, the Illinois Death in Custody Project, the Prison+Neighborhood Arts and Education Project, and the Education for Liberation Network. Erica is also a sci-fi fan, an avid runner, and a lover of bees and cats.Episode Notes:Transcript: upendmovement.org/podcast/episode-205/Support the work of upEND: upendmovement.org/donateTo understand the difference between reforms and abolitionist steps to end family policing, explore our framework tool at upendmovement.org/frameworkWe mention the Repeal CAPTA episode of The upEND Podcast.

Project 2025, also known as "The Conservative Promise," is a strategic plan detailed in the publication "Mandate for Leadership." The initiative aims to shape the future of public education in the United States by the year 2025 through a conservative lens. On page 319 of the document, it is emphasized that elementary and secondary education should undergo significant reforms.One of the core ideas of Project 2025 is to decentralize educational control, shifting power away from federal bureaucracies and returning it to states and local communities. This approach advocates for increased parental involvement and choice in their children's education, including the support for school voucher programs, charter schools, and other alternatives to traditional public schools. The aim is to create a more competitive and diverse educational landscape, where schools are driven to improve performance to attract students.Another focal point of the project is the curriculum. Project 2025 calls for a return to classical education models, emphasizing core subjects such as mathematics, science, history, and language arts, while ensuring that these subjects are taught from a perspective that aligns with conservative values. The intention is to promote a well-rounded education that also instills a sense of patriotism and understanding of America's founding principles.Teacher accountability and performance are also addressed. Project 2025 suggests reforms in teacher evaluations to tie their performance more directly to student outcomes. This may include merit-based pay systems and removing barriers to enter the teaching profession, thereby attracting more qualified and passionate individuals into education.Standardized testing and assessment are to be overhauled to better reflect student knowledge and abilities rather than teaching to the test. The project advocates for assessments that can provide meaningful feedback to students, parents, and educators, guiding them to improve the educational process.Funding models are scrutinized under Project 2025, with a call for a more equitable distribution of resources that directs funding to students rather than institutions. This student-centered funding model proposes that public education funds should follow the student to whichever school they choose to attend, whether public, private, or charter.Securing the integrity of educational content, Project 2025 seeks to eliminate what it considers to be indoctrination in classrooms. This includes pushing back against curricula that involve critical race theory and other progressive ideologies. Instead, it proposes curricula that reflect a balanced and factual representation of history and civic education.Project 2025 also emphasizes the importance of vocational training and career readiness. The document suggests reviving and expanding vocational programs within secondary education to equip students with practical skills and knowledge that can directly translate to the workforce, thus addressing the gap between education and industry demands.Technology integration is another crucial element, with Project 2025 advocating for increased use of digital tools and online learning platforms. The goal is to enhance educational delivery, especially in rural or underfunded areas, providing all students with access to high-quality educational resources regardless of their geographical location.Overall, Project 2025 presents a comprehensive plan that seeks to reform various aspects of public education to align with conservative values and principles. By placing an emphasis on decentralization, parental choice, classical education, and vocational training, it aspires to create a more efficient, effective, and equitable educational system by the year 2025.

The rapid emergence of AI tools like ChatGPT is sending shockwaves through education. Host Mike Palmer talks with Alex Kotran, Founder and CEO of nonprofit The AI Education Project, about this technology tidal wave and what it means for education. Alex shares his origin story, from politics to pivoting into AI back in 2015. He started aiEDU in 2019 to get ahead of the coming AI disruption. Since then, the pace of change accelerated with advances like ChatGPT and other LLMs. Educators have reacted with bans, excitement, and overwhelm. Ultimately, Kotran argues teachers need training and support to thoughtfully integrate AI into learning. Without it, teachers may see AI as something being done "to them" rather than a tool to empower. Tune into this timely episode to hear us grapple with ethical dilemmas, changes needed to curriculum and assessments, and why 2023 may be remembered as a watershed year in the transformative AI revolution.
