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, Dom welcomes New Jersey State Senator Holly Schepisi onto Readin', Writin', and Reason for an update on the new sexual education regulations in New Jersey that she and others in Senate have taken up a fight against due to the overly explicit nature. Dom tells that multiple school districts have openly condemned the new regulations, with Holly explaining in depth why schools are now being hit with threats of disciplinary actions for not following suit.
Then, Dom welcomes Joe Pettyjohn, School Board member for Bensalem Township, onto the podcast to discuss a letter sent to Bucks County concerning the overreach of the government during the pandemic signed by all 13 of the county’s school districts, hoping to prevent overbearing Coronavirus edicts set forth by elected officials with no input from medical professionals. Joe explains why the elected school board officials have signed the letter, taking Dom and listeners back to edicts set forth during the height of the pandemic all the way to current day, laying out how he and the other school board members feel elected officials in the County have overstepped their power, usurping the power of school boards when setting forth Coronavirus guidelines. Pettyjohn explains that strict mandates were enforced with no input from any county health officials, and tells what he hopes changes moving forward in school district dealings with county officials.
