On this episode of We Teach Us Podcast, we look at patriarchy and its negative impact on the school system in America. In the Do Now segment, I ask students, teachers, and parents the question: "What do you think of when you hear the phrase, '[...] like a girl?'" Educator and special education facilitator Raniece Dalton shares her experience and insight about how patriarchy negatively impacts us and our education system. In the We Do segment, I speak to community organizer and educator Stef Bernal-Martinez (@stefwithanfany). Stef is committed to rejecting exceptionalism and practicing generative abolition in the South. Queer xicanx fronteriza—the star on the mountain is her forever home. Stef is the co-creator of 1977 Books (@1977Books), an abolitionist bookstore and community space for the people, by the people.
