With the absolute dumping of snow we received yesterday, John and Gordy kick off commiserating about shoveling, a Wisconsin tradition. We dive into the National Day Calendar (its Cheddar Day!) and check in with Sam for Today in History. Later, instead of Idiocracy we welcome on Dr. Tim Slekar as we do every Thursday. With the dissolution of the Department of Education looming, we tap his wisdom on what we'll do next. We also dive into the Science of Reading - a debunked, non-curriculum, that has been adopted in the name of antiwokeness, and is actually making reading scores drop like flies.
