Earlier this week the Sun Prairie school board voted to approve the purchase of new language arts curriculum that some parents and community members felt is, at best, not culturally competent, especially in its depictions of Native American culture. Today, the team – including Rodlyn-mae Banting and Omar Waheed, both of whom reported on the issue for Madison365 – talks through the issues with the curriculum, the response from the community, and the much bigger issues at stake. Then, we hear from 2022 Wisconsin Teacher of the Year Kabby Hong on a the state Senate's approval of a law requiring Asian American history be taught in Wisconsin schools. And finally, a grab-bag of stuff: our Most Influential Native Americans list, our new print magazine, the awards we're nominated for and whether we prefer to spring forward or fall back.
