Episode 154: Accidental Activist (with Erin Gruwell)

This week, BullCast welcomes Erin Gruwell, celebrated teacher, author, and social justice activist. In this touching show, we’ll explore the concept of hope and possibility for at-risk students who are deemed unteachable. We’ll start the show with our list of the best movies about education. Then, we’ll jump right in with Ms. G, discussing her story as a young teacher entering Room 203 and how the Freedom Writers came to be. In the show, we’ll talk to Erin about what it was like having Academy-Award winner Hillary Swank portray her, how Erin inspired her students to believe in themselves, and why being an educator is so important to her. While we tried to keep this episode fun and full of laughter, we found ourselves deeply impacted by Erin’s spirit and story.
