Consider This from NPR - Why this writer says her son deserves a champion like Tim Walz

When Tim Walz accepted the Democratic nomination for vice president, his son stole the show.

In a viral moment, the cameras panned to 17-year-old Gus Walz, who, with tears in his eyes, stood up, clapped loudly, pointed to the stage and appeared to repeatedly yell out: "That's my dad!"

Some cheered the new visibility of neurodivergent people.

But what do advocates and parents of neurodiverse children actually want from government officials, like Tim Walz, in terms of policy?

1A - ‘Sugarcane’ And The Dark History Of Indigenous Residential Schools

In May of 2021, archaeologists discovered over 200 unmarked graves at an Indigenous residential school in Canada. The discovery exposed the dark history of systemic abuse faced by Canada's Indigenous community.

At least 150,000 Indigenous children attended Indigenous residential schools in Canada. For decades, they were removed from their homes and families and held in institutions run by the Catholic church and Canadian government.

"Sugarcane" is a new documentary that follows one of those schools – St. Joseph's Mission near the Sugarcane Reservation of Williams Lake in British Columbia.

We speak with the film's directors.
