Jesse Hagopian: #BlackLivesMatter and #optout

Don't miss this special episode of BustED Pencils as Jed and Tim talk to Seattle teacher and activist, Jesse Hagopian.  The question: Does the Black Lives Matter movement and Opt Out movement belong together?  We will talk to Jesse about the current accountability movement and its historical connections to the practice of eugenics driven standardized testing. Are today's tests serving the same purpose as they did 100 years ago—sorting and seperating according to race, class and ethnicity?
