Episode 8 - Is Teaching Political?

In today’s episode we will address responses to the recent political situation and ask the question, is teaching political? This topic arises comes from an online communication I had with a colleague this week. It prompted me to write a blog post, published by our friends in Edjacent, and addressed in this podcast as a Dear Doctor D question.
