Randi Weingarten has been shaping the conversation around public education in New York and across the nation for decades. In this edition of 92NY’s signature series State of New York, the formidable president of the American Federation of Teachers, sits down with 92NY CEO Seth Pinsky just weeks after the mayoral election for a no-holds-barred look at what's next for our schools, our city, and our democracy.
Weingarten, who has been a tireless advocate for teachers and students, takes part in a candid, thought-provoking conversation about the state of public education. Why is educational attainment declining across so much of the country? What can New York do to lead the way in strengthening education? And what role should our public schools play in ensuring a healthy democracy?
Weingarten remains an important voice at a critical moment in history. Her new book, Why Fascists Fear Teachers: Public Education and the Future of Democracy, provides further insight into the challenges and opportunities facing schools today.
Don’t miss this urgent, unfiltered conversation about what’s at stake for New York and beyond, with one of the most influential voices in education.
