Header image for event

Montclair State professors Dr. Laura Nicosia and Dr. Rebecca Goldstein are the editors of a collection of letters, poems, and illustrations addressed to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, intended to stimulate conversation about the current educational landscape.

Montclair State history professor Dr. Leslie Wilson and Masiel Rodriguez-Vars, executive director of the Montclair Fund for Educational Excellence, join them for a lively and informed discussion of issues including equity and discrimination in schools, assessment and accountability, school funding (at all levels), the precarious role of Title IX, the needs of students who receive special education services, and the future of public education in an era of privatization of public goods.
