Educationally Outraged
Educationally Outraged seeks to spark discussions from all sides of the political spectrum and social standing, offering alternative interpretations of various subjects.
We will discuss everything from education to mental health, from politics to social issues, and all that lies in between.
Each episode aims to provide a platform for voices - primarily mine, but more importantly the voices of others who may have differing opinions on topics that matter deeply to them.
