From contemptuous and dramatic town hall meetings to calls for actual book burnings, people have used critical race theory to stoke fears and anxieties around race and integration and as an excuse to thwart integration work. So, what do we do as advocates for genuine integration against such false narratives and anxiety driven assumptions? ... In this episode from the Integrated Schools podcast, we learn just that. In the episode, hosts Val and Andrew sit down with James Haslam and talk about how we can heal and move forward from the hysteria against critical race theory. James Haslam (he/him/his) leads the initiative H.E.A.L Together. This initiative provides organizing models and training for caregivers, teachers, and students to advocate for high quality public education as an essential building block of multiracial democracy. Through the episode, James talks about what caregivers can do to push back against bad-faith narratives and what they can do to support a fully funded, honest, accurate public education for all kids.

If you’re coming to this realization along with the fact that sound advice on how to get involved is rare, welcome to the party. There are a lot of podcasts on the subject of (politics). Not many out there give practical advice for those wanting to get involved locally. But there is a podcast that features everyday Americans who leveraged their success to take a stand for their conservative values. They share their story about how they’ve gotten involved and it’s inspiring. It’s The Kevin Roberts Show. If you are new to civic engagement, here's why I would recommend blocking 45 minutes per week to listen and study every episode: 🔴 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 #1: 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘄𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 The podcast dives into political and cultural topics from a conservative angle (i.e. limited government, secure borders, parental rights and the importance of our Constitutional freedoms). 🔴 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 #2: 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀 Dr. Kevin Roberts, president of The Heritage Foundation, offers informed perspectives based on his academic and policy experience. He’s fantastic at drawing out perspectives as guests share about their efforts of making a difference in their communities. 🔴 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 #3: 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲, 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 Episodes cover everything from the fight against Big Tech censorship to the dangers of buying into the agenda of self-appointed elites in the World Economic Forum. You'll get exposure to a broad array of topics from a diversity of voices expressing conservative viewpoints. And on crucial issues that matter now. As a beginner, I promise—this is one of the most helpful resources on the Internet you can sink your teeth into for inspiration when it comes to civic engagement.

This week on the podcast, I had a compelling discussion with the inspirational author Leah Rothstein, about the causes and legacy of intentional housing segregation in the US. Leah presented practical steps for steering us back towards a more equitable nation from her book: "Just Action: How to Challenge Segregation Enacted Under the Color of Law," co-authored with her father, Richard Rothstein.
