Note: Today, WestSouthwest replays two interviews related to education that aired in 2018. This interview originally aired May 24.
Thanks to a new Michigan law, schoolchildren have a unique opportunity to learn the importance of being "an upstander and not a bystander," says Corey Harbaugh, an Allegan County-based school administrator who is on the Governor's Council on Genocide and Holocaust Education. Legislation passed in 2016 requiring schools teach about genocide. WMUK's Earlene McMichael interviewed Harbaugh, director of teaching and learning for Fennville Public Schools, in advance of his keynote address commemorating the 24th anniversary of the Rwandan Genocide of the Tutsis, as part of an event at the Arcus Center of Social Justice Leadership at Kalamazoo College.
