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 Latrice Booker, Director of the HOPE Pregnancy Center, onto the podcast after the pro-life center was attacked by pro-abortion groups with broken windows and vandalism. First, Giordano asks Booker for the mission statement of the Center, with Booker laying out the positive influences that HOPE has on the Philadelphia community. Then, Giordano asks Booker about the vandalism that took place over the weekend, with Booker telling of the situation and thankfully revealing that the inside of the organization was left untouched. Giordano asks whether there has been any media contact after the incident, with Booker affirming that many media outlets have indeed reached out although there hasn’t been much coverage.
Then, Stephanie Taub, Senior Counsel with the First Liberty Institute representing Coach Joe Kennedy in his Supreme Court case, returns to Readin' Writin' and Reason for an update on the case as it sits in the highest court of the country. Coach Joe Kennedy was suspended and later fired from his post as a High School football coach because he prayed with players after football games. The firing school district alleges that students felt uncomfortable and felt forced to partake in the prayer circles, with the Supreme Court deciding how this plays out in the frame of religious freedom. Taub tells that the representation team expects a verdict within the next 2 weeks, and defends her client’s stance against allegations levied his way by politicians and media members.
