Ever wanted your favorite teacher to explain the news to you? Want to learn how to dive deep into the issues and connect them all? I’m Jeff Garcia, a middle school teacher, activist, historian, and proud nerd who wants to be your new favorite teacher. We look through a lens of cultural history and critical thinking to bring you the issues as they are — no clickbait, no misinformation, no bullshit. Join the Underground!

In this first-ever episode, I’m bringing you live to Minneapolis/St. Paul in the wake of George Floyd’s murder by Minneapolis police. We’ll discuss the burning of the Third Precinct, the intersection of police brutality with America’s forever wars, and then bring that back around to discussing how Minneapolis (and policing as a concept) move forward from here.
