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.

The Daily Signal - Historian Explains How 6 Presidents Fought Washington Swamp

From time to time, the American people elect a champion to take on the Washington swamp.


Historian Larry Schweikart joins "The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss his new book "Dragonslayers: Six Presidents and Their War With the Swamp."


The six presidents Schweikart profiles are Abraham Lincoln, Grover Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and Donald Trump. They came from different backgrounds and different political parties, but all had their own unique tussles with the swamp during their time in office.


The presidential historian lays out the almost cyclical nature of Americans electing swamp fighters.


"I think also we see a pattern where these guys kind of knock the swamp back a little bit, and then it crawls back to life, like some horrible monster and 10, 15, 20 years later, somebody else has to step up and fight it again," Schweikart says.


Schweikart is a historian of American political history and has written numerous books, including the best-selling "A Patriot's History of the United States."


We also cover these stories:

  • President Joe Biden on Monday called Russian President Vladimir Putin a war criminal, and said evidence should be gathered in order to put him on trial.
  • Biden says he is ending a COVID-19-era immigration-control policy. Title 42 was originally implemented by then-President Donald Trump. Three Republican state attorneys general are suing to block the Biden move.
  • A filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission revealed that billionaire Elon Musk had purchased a 9.2% stake in Twitter Inc., making him the tech titan's single-biggest shareholder.
