Should kids be forced to wear face coverings at school this fall? As COVID-10 cases increase across the state, most schools will implement a universal mask policy – but some parents strongly oppose mask mandates.   On this episode of "The Eagle," Times Union Editor-in-Chief Casey Seiler and Managing Editor Susan Mehalick discuss the week's top headlines, including the story of an Albany mom who is desperately trying to get her children out of Afghanistan. Plus, Cuomo's upcoming departure from the Capitol has us reminiscing about the time he f-bombed a Times Union reporter.   Also on this episode, reporter Ed McKinley discusses his reporting on the Child Victim's Act – and the revelation that the Albany Diocese sent priests accused of sexually abusing children to treatment centers, instead of alerting law enforcement.   McKinley, a Hearst Fellow, just wrapped up his time at the Times Union and is now the Texas state capitol for Houston Chronicle and the San Antonio Express News. We'll miss you, Ed!
