On this week’s Dropout Nation Podcast, RiShawn Biddle takes a look at the Trayvon Martin murder and explains how each and every day, American public education destroys the futures and lives of young men just like him. Advancing systemic reform — including providing young men with strong college-preparatory education and addressing how young men are treated in schools — is key to saving the geniuses and potential of our young men of color and poor economic backgrounds.
