What A Day - Live From DC It’s January 6th!

Last night was the first of several public hearings by the January 6th House committee, with the purpose to get the insurrection and the bigger effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election back on people’s radars. Congressman and committee member Adam Schiff, joined us before the hearing to explain what he hopes Americans will learn. And Andrea Bernstein, co-host of the “Will Be Wild” podcast, joined us afterwards to discuss her takeaways.

And in headlines: the Justice Department launched a civil rights investigation into Louisiana’s State Police Department, 42 million people are on excessive heat watch ahead of an upcoming heatwave, and Britney Spears' ex-husband interrupted her wedding.

The Daily Signal - Kirk Cameron’s New Documentary Explores World of Homeschooling

Thanks to virtual schooling during the COVID-19 pandemic, parents were horrified to discover the radical lesson plans their children's activist teachers were teaching. Lessons on critical race theory and on sexual orientation and gender identity caused parents to realize they would have to take their kids' education into their own hands.

Post-pandemic, the homeschool boom hasn't let up, as parents realize they can effectively teach their children and guide their education in a way that aligns with their values.

Christian actor and filmmaker Kirk Cameron wants to demonstrate how freedom-loving Americans can best start their own homeschool journeys with his new documentary film "The Homeschool Awakening."

"No one loves [your kids] more than you do as a mom and dad, and no one's better positioned to teach them. You've been doing it since Day One," says Cameron. "You taught them how to walk. You taught them how to talk. At the end of the day, whoever controls the textbooks has possession of the future, either for good or for evil."

Cameron joins the show to discuss his new documentary, and help parents understand how they can best embark on their own homeschooling journey.

We also cover these stories:

  • The House votes mostly along party lines to pass a red flag gun-control bill aimed at preventing individuals thought to be a danger to themselves or others from keeping their firearms.
  • Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., is furious that no one was arrested for protesting outside Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home on the same day an armed man came to his house with the intention of killing him.
  • PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan announces that 17 golfers participating in a Saudi-backed LIV Golf tournament are now banned from competing in PGA Tour events.

Short Wave - Pride Week: The Importance Of Inclusion In Sex Education

Sex can be a nerve-racking experience no matter what. That's especially true if you have no clue what to do, and since LGBTQ+ topics are often left out of the conversation in school sex ed classes, many queer people know this feeling well. Life Kit spoke with sexuality educators to understand what sex education could look like for queer students and the importance of including everybody in the discussions.

NPR's Book of the Day - Exploring immigration through a common experience: feeling like an outsider

There is a common hurdle for many first generation immigrants: feeling out of place. Whether that's in school, speaking a different language, or living through parents' expectations. Today: two books about overcoming those feelings of inadequacy. First, Simu Liu, Marvel's first Asian superhero, discusses his memoir We Were Dreamers, where he talks about his complicated relationship with his parents and what he calls his "immigrant superhero origin story." Then, Cuban-American author Margarita Engle explores what it's like to be an outsider as a bilingual speaker and the creative freedom she found in writing Spanish without italics in her book.
