Debates around inclusive curriculum, school funding and more are among the issues voters will consider when casting ballots for November 5th’s elections. Ahead of a consequential presidential race for the United States and its students, Teachers College will convene a panel of discussants from across the political spectrum on Oct. 23 to explore the race’s impact on the most pressing issues in education today.
