Political Discussions in the Classroom

Political discussions in the classroom…that can get complicated. The debate on how and to what degree these conversations should occur has gained increased attention over the years, leaving many of our school board members unsure if it can be done. Join Amber Horton  as they talk with associate professor at NC State University and educational specialist in non-partisan democratic education, Dr. Paula McAvoy on how political discussions can be student-centered, fair, and civil.
