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, Giordano welcomes Beth Ann Rossica, head of Back to School PA, back onto the podcast for an update on masking throughout the country as schools prepare for students to return to classrooms. First, Giordano asks for a general temperature of masking, with Beth Ann Rossica explaining that most schools have not required masks to return to schools, pointing to the Philadelphia School District as an anomaly for requiring students to mask up. Giordano asks what the Philadelphia Superintendent uses to justify the mask requirement, pointing to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Coronavirus guidelines that run counter to the proposition. Rossica explains the negative implications of requiring students in Philadelphia to wear masks, and discusses the lack of logic in the requirement with the knowledge that students will be unmasked in public, on public transportation, and in their personal lives.

Then, Dom welcomes in Lynn Landes, Founder of HealthAlertPhilly.org, to the podcast to discuss her time spent speaking in protest in front of the Philadelphia School Board meeting after the School District implemented a masking policy. Giordano and Landes discuss the ridiculous notion of the masking policy, bringing to attention both CDC and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia guidance that suggests less restrictive masking and vaccination policies. Landes and Giordano tell that Philadelphia is an anomaly compared to most other school districts, explaining that most local districts have followed the less restrictive guidance. Landes discusses the importance of speaking up, and tells why parents need to express their voices to ensure that their kids are being educated appropriately.
