Pro-Palestinian protests that started at US campuses weeks ago have now spread to the UK and many parts of Europe. The US student protests are reminiscent of the 1968 Vietnam War protests which resulted in a political shift to the right and the election of Richard Nixon. Could Donald Trump leverage this civil unrest for political gain, just as Nixon did in 1968? This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.

Naison also just happens to be a terrific storyteller who opens the ep by describing how he ended up in one of the most enduring Chappelle's Show segments and what it was like to have Lana Del Ray in his class.

Background on the BATs:  In June, 2013, Mark Naison, a professor of African-American Studies at Fordham University, together with Priscilla Sanstead an education activist, formed the provocatively titled, “Badass Teacher’s Association”—a grassroots organization “for every teacher who refuses to be blamed for the failure of our society to erase poverty and inequality, and refuses to accept assessments, tests and evaluations imposed by those who have contempt for real teaching and learning"   In 6 months, the group has grown to 36,000 members, and they’re not all teachers.  Parents, students, retirees and anyone who believes in the founding goals of public education has a found a voice in this dynamic group.

Author and Fordham Professor Dr. Mark Naison discusses so-called food desert, his research on health and food disparities in the Bronx, and how the borough is a prime location for cultural tourism.
