NY Magazine's David Zweig On New CDC Guidelines For Summer Camps
David Zweig, writer for Wired and New York Magazine, joins the Dom Giordano Program to discuss the CDC guidelines as related to summer camps, after writing an article titled Experts: CDC’s Summer-Camp Rules Are ‘Cruel’ and ‘Irrational’ for New York Magazine. In the piece, Zweig spoke with medical experts to get their opinion on the new guidelines, which suggest for camp-goers that masks must be worn at all times, even outdoors, by everyone, including vaccinated adults and children as young as 2 years old. Along with this, the CDC recommends that campers remain three feet apart at all times outdoors, and six feet while indoors. Zweig’s experts, including a doctor from Columbia University and the editor-in-chief of JAMA Pediatrics, spoke out against the CDC guidelines, essentially saying that the CDC has gone off their rocker in offering these sorts of guidelines.

Clarice Schillinger On School Board Members Ability To Cross File For Election
After receiving an email from a listener, Dom Giordano learns that school board candidates are able to cross file and run in both party primaries, both Democrat and Republican, Dom looks to friend Clarice Schillinger of the Keeping Kids in School PAC for more information. Schillinger explains that yes, since the position is apolitical, candidates are able to cross file and in fact, all of her candidates running have indeed filed for both the Democrat and Republican primaries. Also, Schillinger provides an update on her candidates as they try and push back against overbearing school boards hesitating over re-opening schools in the pandemic, and explains how listeners can use Right To Know requests to uncover who is funding which candidates, in order to find which candidates are tied to teacher’s unions, which have used their leverage to keep children out of schools.
