Let's Talk Elephants
"Let's Talk Elephants" is a series of conversations aimed at addressing all the topics that traditionally make people uncomfortable. Sex, money, politics, education, religion, drugs, and more. If it makes you anxious, chances are that is because it is IMPORTANT. Let's talk about the important things instead of fearing them.

School Choice & The Education Paradigm
Valeria Gurr is senior fellow for the American Federation for Children nonprofit organization, and she graduates this year with her PhD in Public Affairs. She is incredibly passionate about education, and we discuss why it is important for families to be able to choose schools that meet the unique needs of their children.
Some major topics covered:
-how Nevada's education system continues to fail children across the state
-the importance of school choice particularly for kids from low-income and/or minority families
-the way that political party lines prevent us form moving forward as a people
-governmental/political corruption & bureaucracy
