Part 1:
We talk with Jeremy Schwartz, who writes for ProPublica.
We discuss the case of a teacher in Texas who ran for the school board on the conservative side. She discovered, once elected, that the platform she ran on, "the schools are indoctrinating children" was WRONG AND NOT TRUE. She recognized the wealthy investors who wanted to starve local schools were not mistaken, but INTENDED to hurt local public schools. However, she was unable to convince them. She is being marginalized and likely will be ostracized from the far-right organizations.
We also discuss the selective purging of voter rolls in Florida. Democrats, including candidates for office are being purged.
Part 2:
We talk with Bill Curry and Laura Jedeed.
We discuss climate change and how immigration patterns are changing. The Global South is more affected by climate change, and migrants from this disaster are being denied entry into the US and other northern countries. The US needs immigrants, because there are not enough younger people who can work to support the economy or older residents.
