Lost Debate - Ep 36 | Hunter’s Laptop, Amazon Union, Biden’s Economy, Louis C.K.

Ravi, Cory, and Rikki go through the many allegations against Hunter Biden before diving into major outlets’ overdue corrections – some of them made very quietly – to coverage of the president’s son in the month before the 2020 election. Amazon workers are unionizing in Staten Island. We discuss whether that could turn into a recurring delivery for the mega-retailer. President Biden has overseen a strong economic recovery by many metrics, but you wouldn’t think so looking at his poll numbers. We’ll talk about inflation and the other possible reasons why that’s the case. And finally, our take on comedian Louis C.K. winning a Grammy.

Consider This from NPR - What Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Law Means for Teachers

Florida's Parental Rights in Education law, which prohibits classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity for students in kindergarten through third grade, was signed into law at the end of March by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Critics have dubbed this it the 'Don't Say Gay' law.

A lawsuit has been filed against Gov. DeSantis by several LGBTQ rights advocates in an effort to block the law.

NPR's Melissa Block spoke with a number of teachers across the state of Florida who are worried about the chilling effect this law may have on not just what they teach and speak about in the classroom, but how it affects their students' well-being.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
