There's an uproar on the right over #NiceWhiteParents, the @chanajoffewalt podcast that premiers Thursday.
However, it's progressives who will really feel judged, based on the first episode at least.
Media coverage of integration doesn't come of very well, either.

To get yourself in the mood for #NiceWhiteParents, you might check out @BklynDeep's amazing School Colors Podcast, which reconsiders the Ocean-Hill Brownsville story http://ow.ly/zq9L30r1kU2
Another good warmup for #NiceWhiteParents would be United States of Anxiety's Two Schools in Marin County, via @mariannemccune http://ow.ly/3ksw30r1kVe
Even more directly related to the story being told in #nicewhiteparents is @yasmeenkhan's seven-minute @WNYC segment about 1964's little-remembered 500,000-student one-day boycott against school segregation in NYC http://ow.ly/W4UB30r1kVO
New York City's segregation history has often been ill-covered by local and national media, which have tended to view segregation as a phenomenon of the South.

White resistance to integration of schools is not the only part of 1960's NYC schools history that was mis-covered at the time and still warrants a major reconsideration. http://ow.ly/es2F30r1l0E
As you'll see, there's a double relevance to #NiceWhiteParents, which both points out the past's many failed challenges to segregation & echoes today's #reopening arguments over whether parents should focus on the collective good or self-interest. #pods https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/22/opinion/pandemic-pods-schools.html
Two last deep cuts for now:
@fstockman's 2016 Pulitzer-winning series, which forces us to re-examine what really happened in Boston (hint: it wasn't really the busing) https://www.pulitzer.org/winners/farah-stockman

And @mattdelmont's important 2016 book, which reminds us that much of the school integration story we've been told is incomplete or inaccurate. https://mattdelmont.com/2019/04/11/next-project-tv-busing
There are at least 3 school-related podcast series coming in August, including the new season of @leoncrawl's Fiasco.

According to the first episode of #nicewhiteparents, there were 3 media mis-steps in the coverage of the NYC integration effort:
*failure to cover the 500K student protest adequately
*focusing on the threat of violence
*disproportionate coverage to white counterprotesters

Previous journalism about school segregation has been criticized for leaving the beneficiaries off to the side, but #NiceWhiteParents addresses this concern @DumiLM http://ow.ly/JbJ130r1xj1
