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 in Riley Gaines, women’s rights activist, back onto Readin', Writin' and Reason. Gaines has joined us on multiple occasions after she made headline news after facing off against transgendered swimmer Lia Thomas in the NCAA women’s swimming championships. Since then, Gaines has been a strong proponent in speaking out against the infusion of Trans individuals in women’s sports, pointing out the unfairness in allowing this. Riley updates us, telling what she’s been up to, and takes us inside her fight to protect children, speaking in favor of the attempt by Ohio Republicans to ban gender transitions for minors. Also, Gaines offers his opinion on the decision by USA Boxing to allow males compete against females in the ring.
Then, Dom welcomes in Steve Famiano, Vice President of the California Youth Football Alliance, after he and other youth football coaches secured a big win with Gov. Newsom’s veto of a progressive bill that would ban tackle football for kids under 12 years old. First, Dom asks Famiano for the benefits that tackle football offers to children of this young age, with Famiano listing multiple positive influences in youth football. Dom and Famiano discuss the commentary that this presents on parental rights, with Famiano explaining why this has taken hold throughout the country.
