Legendary public school reform advocate Jonathan Kozol joins us to discuss his latest book, An End To Inequality: Breaking Down the Walls of Apartheid Education in America. Then, we do a deep dive into the scourge that is kratom, the dangerous so-called pain-relief supplement that our guest, attorney Matt Wetherington, calls “gas station heroin.”
Jonathan Kozol, a leading advocate for equality and racial justice in our nation’s schools, travels and lectures about educational inequality and racial injustice. Mr. Kozol is the author of nearly a dozen books about young children and their public schools, including Death at an Early Age (for which he received the National Book Award), Savage Inequalities, and The Shame of the Nation.
Matt Wetherington is a nationally recognized attorney focused on high-stakes cases involving personal injury, wrongful death, and class actions. He currently represents plaintiffs in a wrongful death lawsuit against more than a dozen defendants, including manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of Kratom products.
