The School Board Wars, Part 2

Published: Nov. 17, 2021, 10:50 a.m.

This episode contains strong language.\n\nIn Bucks County, Pa., what started out as a group of frustrated parents pushing for schools to reopen devolved over the course of a year and half into partisan disputes about America\u2019s most divisive cultural issues.\n\nBut those arguments have caused many to overlook a central role of the Central Bucks School District\u2019s board: providing quality education.\n\nIn Part 2 of our series on school board wars in the U.S., we look beyond the fighting and examine the pandemic\u2019s harsh effects on teachers and pupils.\n\nGuest: Campbell Robertson, a national correspondent for The New York Times.
