Originally aired November, 2007

CLASSROOM DISCRIMINATION: Through the Eyes of Peers

We turned over our microphones to six 7th-graders (now 8th) from St.
Paul-based Twin Cities Academy to explore their chosen topic of how
their peers of color and gender may be treated differently than white
students.

TTT's Andy Driscoll and Lynnell Mickelsen step aside for Madeline
Driscoll, Tessa Ferguson, Abby Ewen-Schofner, Anna Eastep, Emily
Syverud and Ana Schaff to inquire as to why children of color are
treated differently
  in elementary and secondary classrooms.

GUESTS:

 STATE REPRESENTATIVE CARLOS MARIANI,
Executive Director, Minnesota Minority Education Project;

 JEANNE NORDSTROM, Retired Teacher, Webster Magnet School, St. Paul;

 NISSAN BROWN, Minneapolis student attending Edina High in
The Choice Is Yours desegregation project.

"SMART INVESTMENTS IN MINNESOTA'S STUDENTS"

TTT's ANDY DRISCOLL and LYNNELL MICKELSEN talk with Growth & Justice
senior staff about that organization's report and proposal for
investments in Minnesota's public education system  "Smart
Investments in Minnesotas Students." We'll ask them how anything
ambitious can be done in a climate of contracting revenues and rising
deficits. And we'll ask some others how they think this might work in
any climate.

And we want your thoughts and questions. CALL IN: 612-341-0980

In this day and age of an increasingly irrelevant mainstream media
lost in its own cacophony of hysteria and self-absorption, "Truth to
Tell" is a shining example of hope. Perhaps all is not lost.
