Dr. Gee is joined again by his friend Kaleem Caire to look at the atmosphere around Justified Anger in the early years and how the initiative has created change over the last 10 years. They reflect on having breakfast together on the day that the original Justified Anger article was released and talked about how the truth of the article would be recieved in the community. The two thought leaders in the Madison community consider what it is like to speak boldly and be visionaries for racial justice. Kaleem is a champion of educational change that needs to happen to address disparities. Kaleem Caire is the founder and CEO of One City Schools, the operator of One City Preschool and One City Elementary School. Both schools are focused on getting young children ready for school success. Prior to One City, Kaleem was the President and CEO of the Urban League of Greater Madison in Madison, WI and chair of the National Urban League's Education Committee. In 2001, Kaleem commissioned the nation's first comprehensive study of high school graduation rates in the United States, which resulted in graduation rates being embedded in the nation's No Child Left Behind law and forever becoming a measurement of the productivity of American education. In 2002, he was appointed by the U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige to serve on the Independent Rules Panel that advises the U.S. Congress on the evaluation and implementation of Title I (then referred to as No Child Left Behind). From 2002-2004, he led a coalition of education, business, philanthropy and community leaders in Washington, DC to secure the passage of landmark legislation that created the nation's first federally funded school voucher program and has since provided more then $900 million net new federal funding for school reform efforts encompassing DC's traditional public, public charter and private schools. In 2009, he was appointed by the administration of President Barack Obama to serve as an expert reviewer for his signature ""Race to the Top"" national education reform initiative.

Kaleem Caire is the founder and CEO of a public charter school and a private preschool called One City Schools. They are growing and expanding to a new 12 million dollar building, and hope to teach k-12 with 1000+ students by 2024. They have achieved so much in a short amount of time and Kaleem Caire is the driving force behind that change. He is a leader who never backs down despite being rejected and turned away. Listen to hear how a fight while in the Navy opened his eyes to leadership and sent him on his path.

There’s been a lot of back and forth on social media about “respectability politics” and the way Madison students have been conducting themselves at school board meetings, along with some of the root causes of the issues that they’re talking about. Should students tone down the language or do they deserve to be heard in whatever words they choose? We got One City Schools founder Kaleem Caire and Freedom Inc founder M Adams both to the table and had some Real Talk on the issue.
