This week, two guests discuss the education-related outcomes from the 2018 Kentucky General Assembly. We hear from union member, retired firefighter, and current educator Ronel Brown. Gay Adelmann also returns to the show. But first, we discuss Governor Matt Bevin’s attack on teachers and his hamfisted non-apology.
