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 back Riley Gaines, former NCAA swimmer who's become a women's rights and Title IX activist, back on the show. Gaines, who made news after speaking out against transgendered swimmers including Penn's Lia Thomas, offers updates on what she's been up to, first responding to Lia Thomas announcing this week that they're an "antifa super soldier," which doesn't surprise the host or the guest. Then, Riley tells about the launch of her new podcast, “Gaines for Girls,” telling that she hopes to share her message with young girls, hoping to empower them and giving them a voice in a strange world in which biological men are competing against biological women. Also, Gaines updates her push to have other big women athletes speak out, explaining some movement she's seen, telling what she hopes to accomplish with having some big names sign on.
Then, Dom welcomes in State Senator Kim Ward who’s incredibly upset with Governor Josh Shapiro after reneging on promises he recently made concerning the implementation of the Lifeline Scholarship program, which was written into the recent budget. In an agreement made with Democrats, Republicans made multiple concessions to install a system that would allow parents and students to choose where they would like to be schooled, an ideology Shapiro employed and allegedly exploited to get elected as Governor of our State. Senator Kim Ward discusses the move by Shapiro, pointing out the hypocrisy and the damage that his flipped stance on the issue will have on parents in Pennsylvania.
