Dom Giordano, WPHT host and former teacher, has dedicated much of his daily show toward parents who are taking it into their own hands to push back against school boards that have a negative impact on their children. This has culminated in a weekly podcast on education, Readin', Writin', and Reason, which has allowed wonderful relationships to develop between Giordano, educators, and parents throughout the country who are speaking out against overbearing school boards.
Every year on the Dom Giordano Program on Philadelphia's 1210WPHT, Dom awards his Local and National 'Person of the Year' to a regular guest for what they've done within the past year. This year, Dom will announce a Readin' Writin' Reason Person of the Year as well, a guest from our podcast who listeners deem the best guest from the last year. We will have three podcasts announcing two nominees each, with listeners voting for who should move on each week, narrowing down to a final three by the end of the year.
First up, Dom replays an interview with new Central Bucks School District President Dana Hunter, who joined the daily show and podcast to discuss her continued fight against advocacy groups hoping to infuse hyper-political and oftentimes explicit material into school curricula.
Then, Dom plays back an interview with Tim Daly, a Pennsbury, PA parent who recently won a lawsuit against the school district after being repeatedly silenced, along with other parents, when speaking out against the school board. Tim Daly takes us inside the back and forth between the legal team representing the parents and the school board, telling about the instrumentations that led to a settlement in favor of the parents.
