The Dropout Nation Podcast show

Summary: (http://dropoutnation.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/dn_podcast_itunes_logo.png) On this week's Dropout Nation Podcast, RiShawn Biddle looks at the school reform lawsuit (http://rishawnbiddle.org/outsidereports/michigan_aclu_lawsuit.pdf) brought by the American Civil Liberties Union's Michigan affiliate, and explains why we must take on the illiteracy that is the key symptom of the education crisis. It is a social imperative, economic necessity, and moral commandment to ensure that all children are proficient in reading so they can successfully choose their own paths in life.
