Sam and Jordi are joined by FoP (Friend of the Podcast) Abe Feuerstein, Professor of Education at Bucknell University.  We talk for awhile about our kids in college, about recent primaries in Florida, a horrid ad by Republican Nominee Ron DeSantis, and education funding, especially in PA.  This includes a discussion about progress in the slow-moving lawsuit over equitable funding in PA- an effort co-lead by our friends at the Public Interest Law Center .  Video Link highlighting the petitioners is below.  Abe did some research on how money can matter.
