CounterSpin
Counterspin is FAIR's weekly radio show, hosted by Janine Jackson, Steve Rendall and Peter Hart. It's heard on more than 125 noncommercial stations across the United States and Canada. Counterspin provides a critical examination of the major stories every week, and exposes what the mainstream media might have missed in their own coverage.
This week on CounterSpin: Betsy DeVos’s website describes her as a “disruptor.” Now that she’s confirmed as Education secretary, what calls for disruption is the set of myths that carried her through, despite an evident lack of experience or expertise. Myths to do with “school choice” and “accountability,” which corporate media rarely interrogate thoroughly, or contrast with different visions of education. We’ll talk about that with Kevin Kumashiro, former dean of education at the University of San Francisco, and founder of Education Deans for Justice and Equity.
