This episode can be classified as an act of defiance to Jon's own recent article, in which he dismantled the myth of the "radical left educator." For this conversation, Jon and Matt spoke with two of these allegedly mythical beings, Dan (a social studies teacher) and Zach (an English teacher). They discussed a variety of topics centered around their own leftwing politics and its implications for their profession..

Specifically Discussed:

- Where do they stand now? How do Zach, Dan, Jon and Matt categorize themselves politically? What specific issues animate them?

- The problems with capitalism: What myths seems to persist about the alleged benefits of capitalism over other systems?

- The ways in which left wing political ideologies influence their teaching

- The limits of traditional education and Imagining a different future and alternative methods for teaching
