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.
First, Karin Majewski, special education teacher in Bucks County, joins the podcast to elaborate on a piece she penned for Broad and Liberty telling her story of leaving the teacher’s union. First, Giordano asks why Majewski has left the union, with the teacher explaining that the political ideology has become so strong and has moved so far left that she could no longer associate herself with the group. Majewski explains why others have been silent on the hyper-polarization of the union, telling that many teachers are upset with the new push toward leftist policies, but refuse to ask questions in fear of repercussions.
Then, John Gahagan, school board member in Mukilteo, Washington, joins the podcast after making national news after his school board decided to remove To Kill a Mockingbird from school reading lists. Gahagan and Giordano go back and forth, debating whether the content within the literary classic is beneficial or detrimental to the development of teenagers.
