First publication of 2026 in Critical and Radical Social Work! So glad to co-author this paper with our amazing PhD candidates/students! Social work, at times, equates neutrality with objectivity.

Loca CBS Minnesota Fully Debunks Nick Shirley YouTube video by Qasim Rashid

Local CBS Minnesota story proves America’s been duped by right wing propagandist Nick Shirley & his “fraud” story about ABC Learning Center.
