Full Hour | In today’s second hour, Dom welcomes Colonel Allen B. West and Stan Casacio back onto the Dom Giordano Program live in studio as the Colonel comes to the Philadelphia region for an event tonight in Whitemarsh Township. Dom, Allen, and Stan run through multiple topics of the day, each offering their own thoughts and breakdown of both the border situation and Trump’s Town Hall last night. Also, Stan tells more about the event, and Allen goes in-depth into his history as both a scubadiver and skydiver, something he learned to enjoy while in the service.
Then, Dom Giordano welcomes in Lindsie Rank, Student Press Council at FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression), to hear about a situation unfolding at Conestoga High School. Since the early 1960’s, every year, the student newspaper, The SPOKE, would publish a ‘destination map,’ that would show where graduates are going to college. This year, after a student complaint, the district has threatened to remove funding for the paper if they publish the map again. The district argues that this is in an effort to promote equity, but Rank explains the implications on the First Amendment that such a demand holds. Rank explains how students are pushing back, and explains how and why this is another case of censorship in schools in the guise of equity.
