In today’s third hour, Dom welcomes Danielle Vitale, who serves on the Haverford School District Board of School Directors, to the Dom Giordano Program after she spoke out about the decision to pull To Kill a Mockingbird from district curricula. Vitale as just a member of the PTO when she found out that the book was removed during the pandemic, ran and won a seat on the school board and found that the American classic was removed after meetings with an outside consulting agency. Vitale explains that the district called in Sage Wellness after a handful of student complaints about content inside the book, claiming that it made them feel ‘uncomfortable,’ which led to lessons for teachers about the book’s racism and an eventual ban from the schools. Vitale takes us inside conversations shared with teachers who revealed that comments made by the district and the organization were inaccurate, taking listeners behind the shadowy curtain behind the books withdrawal from lesson plans.

Then, Dom welcomes 1210WPHT Philadelphia morning show host Nick Kayal onto the Dom Giordano Program to hear about his upcoming Ben to the Shore bike ride, a 65 mile bicycle trek that Nick will ride in, in effort to raise money for the Families Behind the Badge Children's Foundation. Nick tells Giordano why he's agreed to such an insane task, and previews his method of preparation leading up to the event. Also, Nick and Dom reflect on a game of golf they played this past weekend with host Mike Opelka. To donate to Nick's great cause, head to GregStockerSucks.com. (Photo by Tim Boyle/Getty Images)
