On the August 16th edition of Your Call, we’ll discuss how the history and experiences of people with disabilities should be taught in California schools.
Last month, California announced a new framework for teaching more inclusive history and social sciences. The struggles and victories of people with disabilities is often missing from student’s lessons or is framed in a charity or medical model. What would a more empowering and inspiring disability curriculum look like? It’s Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
