Tom Rademacher is loudmouth and I love him for it.
An author and activist, Rademacher is an outspoken, anti-racist educator, who was named the State Teacher of the Year a few years back. This bio should sound familiar. Tom is a writer and the author of “It Won’t Be Easy” one of the more vulnerable memoirs I’ve ever read. He is the 2014-2015 Minnesota Teacher of the Year and currently teaches middle school outside of Minneapolis.
“I sometimes feel like I’d be way more popular and have three times the Twitter followers, if I didn’t talk about race.”
We discussed what it’s like to be a teacher and an activist while the world (feels like it) is burning, to what extent do we think we’re making a difference as advocates in the profession, and Tom’s (loud) public anti-racist work.
