The first highlight clip from ClassCast Podcast Ep.031 features Duke University senior Camryn Thompson speaking with host Ryan Tibbens, her former English teacher, about racism (and, more importantly, anti-racism) in schools. As a young black woman, Camryn reflects on her own experiences with explicit and implicit racism and what we can do to make schools more inclusive and productive for all students. This clip sets up the discussions that follow throughout the remainder of the episode.\\xa0

** DISCLAIMER -- This episode contains honest, open discussions about race, racism, and bias in schools. Both Camryn Thompson and host Ryan Tibbens engaged in this discourse to share perspectives and learn. For those listening with a more critical ear (or predisposition to cancel culture/virtue signalling), please extend a little grace.\\xa0 We're all trying to get better.\\xa0 Also, as a teacher, I have referred to professional experiences that have occurred in six different schools and with a wide variety of coworkers; I do not intend to disparage any person or institution, nor do I intend to speak on "out of place" or on behalf of my employer. I am solely responsible for my views.\\xa0 At a few points in this discussion, specific names are obscured so that listeners focus on the broader issues rather than individual schools or people involved in the situations.\\xa0 If you have a suggestion or question about content in this episode, you can contact ClassCast Podcast directly via readthinkwritespeak@yahoo.com.
