Nikhil Goyal, sociologist and former senior policy advisor for Senator Bernie Sanders, joins Donald Tinney, a veteran high school English teacher and President of the Vermont branch of the National Education Association, to discuss Goyal's new book, "Live to See the Day: Coming of Age in American Poverty," which was named A Best Book of 2023 by The New Yorker. Last year, child poverty more than doubled in the United States, the largest single-year increase on record. Goyal and Tinney will discuss the crisis of child poverty, the implications for public education, and what we can do to address these inequalities.
