Vol. 118 (2020)

Teachers and students in schools and campuses across the U.S have seen increases in bigotry and racism, gun violence, student debt, and standardized over-testing at the same time that they have experienced climate catastrophe, and decreases in civil liberties and government protections. And yet, within this dreary and upsetting educational landscape, a growing light seems to shine in the form of an upsurge in organized student resistance. This issue of Radical Teacher explores new approaches to student activism, how progressive educators are teaching about them or toward them.
