ClassCast Podcast Ep.031 features Camryn Thompson, a rising senior at Duke University and a former student of host Ryan Tibbens.\\xa0 As a brilliant young black woman who grew up in a globally diverse, yet majority white, wealthy suburb, Camryn offers insights and suggestions to improve schools that are informed by both academic studies and personal experience.\\xa0 Currently working through the medical school application process, Ms. Thompson has begun dedicating more of her personal time to activism and is involved in the Black Lives Matter movement.\\xa0 In this discussion with her former English teacher, she advocates for anti-racism through improved public relations, hiring, staff accountability, classroom discussions, and compensation so that our schools can truly serve all Americans equitably.

** 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.
