This episode of Thursdays with Trisha Calvarese is a thought-provoking discussion about the Democratic Party's latest Senate candidate, Graham Platner. The conversation delves into the complexities of the party's decision-making process and the implications of choosing a candidate with a troubled past. Trisha Calvarese is offset, as usual, by Ryan - and together they explore the concerns surrounding Platner's candidacy, including his history of problematic behavior and the party's handling of the situation.

The episode touches on the idea that the Democratic Party is struggling to find a candidate who truly represents the economic populist movement, which is gaining momentum among working-class people.

Trisha and Ryan discuss the potential consequences of choosing a candidate with baggage, and the impact it may have on the party's overall message.

One of the key points of discussion is the Democratic Party's vetting process and how it failed to uncover Platner's past issues. The conversation also touches on the party's handling of similar situations in the past, such as the case of Brett Kavanaugh. Trsha and Ryan question whether the party is truly committed to standing by its values or if it's willing to make excuses for problematic behavior.

In a shocking turn of events, the US Department of Education has opened a federal investigation into Cherry Creek Schools over alleged racial discrimination. The agency accuses the district of violating the Civil Rights Act of 1964, citing clubs that exclude students based on race and requiring teachers to use a student's race when determining class assignments and academic support. This episode delves into the details of the investigation and the concerns of a parent committee that allegedly grants access and participation based on race while denying other parents the opportunity to participate.

The investigation has been a long time coming, with the Colorado Parent Advocacy Network, led by executive director Lori Gimelshteyn, raising the alarm on the district's practices. Gimelshteyn shares her personal experience as a parent in the district, where her children were taught that America was founded on white supremacy. She discusses the district's professional development program, which requires teachers to see themselves as representatives of either oppressors or oppressed based on their skin color.

The conversation also touches on the district's rebranding of its Office of Inclusive Excellence, which has been accused of promoting a Marxist ideology that undermines the principles of American freedom. Gimelshteyn emphasizes the importance of celebrating America's founding principles and the need to stop the district's divisive practices. She also highlights the importance of parental rights and the need for parents to be involved in their children's education.

To hear more about the investigation, the district's practices, and the importance of parental rights, tune in to this episode of RSL. Join the conversation and learn more about the issues affecting our children's education and the importance of standing up for what's right.

Cherry Creek Schools is facing yet another federal investigation, this time over allegations of racial discrimination. The US Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights is looking into claims that the district sponsors clubs that exclude students based on race, requires teachers to consider race when assigning classes, and provides differing levels of academic support based on race. This is not the first time the district has been under scrutiny, having previously faced an investigation by the Colorado Department of Education for failing to provide interpreters for deaf and hard of hearing students.

The investigation has sparked concerns among parents and community members, who are calling for a thorough search for a new superintendent and a focus on academic achievement. The district has been plagued by executive shakeups, hidden records, and sudden departures, leading to a systemic breakdown at the top. A parent committee, the Voices of Color Committee, has been accused of granting preferential treatment to students based on their race, while a teacher training program has been criticized for promoting a divisive curriculum.

Molly Lamar, a concerned parent and advocate, joins the show to discuss the situation and share her personal experiences with the district. She expresses frustration with the district's handling of the investigation and the lack of transparency in their response. The district's spokesperson has denied the characterization of their programming, but the investigation is ongoing.

Also, Democrat Manny Rutinel is trying to distance himself from far left political stances he took not long ago as a coastal liberal elite Yale law student against oil and gas, as well as farmers and ranchers - two key constituencies he must win over in order to defeat Congressman Gabe Evans (R) this November, should Rutinel be able to defeat Shannon Bird in the 8th District primary.

Tune in to hear the full conversation with Molly Lamar and learn more about the investigation and its implications for the Cherry Creek Schools community, along with Ryan's humorous take on Comrade Kyle's takedown of Manny Rutinel in the 8th Congressional Democratic primary debate.
