Readin' Writin' and Reason | Unfair Criticism

The Dom Giordano Program

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 in Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters back onto the podcast after he’s been criticized by Leftist media for calling for bible-friendly education in Oklahoma and in schools nationwide. Walters has been quoted as saying that every classrooms should contain a bible, so it can be taught in historical context. Walters notes that there are certain parts of American history that is intertwined with the bible, pointing toward the Mayflower Compact, the Puritans, and the Quakers as multiple instances of history in which contextualizing the bible is important. Walters proposes this as a pushback against efforts to remove the bible from curriculum, expressing the importance in letting children know how faith led to some of America’s greatest accomplishments and innovations.

Then, Dom welcomes Pennsylvania State Representative Martina White onto the podcast, who’s dialing from Harrisburg after stepping out of session determining the upcoming budget. Dom asks Martina about the back-and-forth in the Capitol, particularly focusing on school choice, something that Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro used to win, since turning 180 and abandoning his stance on the issue. White explains whether school choice will ever become a reality in Pennsylvania, and separately offers her thoughts on the continued reign of District Attorney Larry Krasner here in Philadelphia.
