Diane Ravitch in Conversation with Raynard Sanders

Watch Diane and author and educator Raynard Sanders discuss the post-Katrina take over of the New Orleans Public Schools district. The 90 minute conversation is a cautionary tale of what can happen when a vulnerable community is stripped of its ability to self-govern. For more information on the topic be sure to read Raynard’s book, The Coup D’état of the New Orleans Public Schools: Money, Power, and the Illegal Takeover of a Public School System.
