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 Stephanie, a parent of a 7th grader at Pennbrook Middle School, onto the podcast to discuss why she and other parents were out protesting the North Penn School District for answers concerning a brutal lunchroom attack on a 12-year-old. Stephanie takes us inside the situation, telling of the horrific incident that he daughter now has nightmares about featuring a 13-year old student bloodying another with a Stanley steel mug in an attack that could’ve potentially been prevented had school leadership heeded the warnings of students.
Next, Dom welcomes Washington Examiner reporter Chris Tremoglie back on for some updates on the shocking controversy. Tremoglie tells of a new injunction released by the judge that demands media not reveal details about the assailant, an odd move as the standard for reporting minors is to not reveal any personal or identifying information.
Finally, Dom welcomes Camden County Commissioner Jeffrey L. Nash onto the podcast to discuss why he chose to speak out when he heard of a Voorhees School District-supported pro-Palestine protest that he considers anti-Semitic. Giordano, while he agrees, takes the stance of devil’s advocate in asking Nash to justify why this is not solely an expression of the First Amendment. Nash tells of the hateful rhetoric in these anti-Israel protests, noting the way Jewish students feel when seeing other students express such a stance.
