Professor Mather has been teaching undergraduates Philosophy, Humanities, and Politics for nearly two decades in the Golden State.

At tax-payer expense.” We can do better, and we must. This systematic bias hurts kids’ educational development and contributes to unreasonable and unsustainable polarization in our culture.
