"Welcome back to the Teaching with Valor Podcast, where we tackle the challenging issues shaping our classrooms, our communities, and sometimes, even our country. Today, we’re diving into an unusual yet critical conversation that might seem a bit outside our usual classroom focus, but in reality, it has a profound impact on the educational landscape we operate within.
We’re breaking down seven key reasons the Democratic Party lost the 2024 presidential election. Now, as educators and parents, why should this matter? Well, politics sets the policies that shape our schools, our communities, and even the morale in our classrooms. Today, we’re examining the election through an educational lens—how do national trends and choices impact us as citizens, and most importantly, how do they ripple through to our students?"
