Dave Grohl is raising his hand for teachers. In a new audio episode of his “Dave’s True Stories” series, which debuted on Wednesday (July 22), he offers a nearly nine-minute homage to educators entitled “In Defense of Our Teachers.” The love note to the teachers — like his mom, Virginia, who taught in public schools in their Ohio hometown for three decades — is the spoken-word version of an essay Grohl penned for The Atlantic on Tuesday. The piece is about his checkered experience in classrooms and the importance of keeping our teachers safe as schools across the country contemplate returning to live instruction next month in the shadow of the raging coronavirus pandemic.
