Readin', Writin', and Reason with Dom Giordano | Affirmative Action - a podcast by Radio.com

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, Giordano welcomes back Wen Fa, an attorney with Pacific Legal Foundation and an expert on the discrimination that Asian-Americans face in the university admissions process, to discuss the Supreme Court cases involving Harvard and UNC determining whether or not the process is unfair. First, Giordano asks for some clarification on terms used in the lawsuit and reporting that aren’t in the common lexicon, asking about the term ‘decile’ and how it applies to the lawsuit. Wen provides a contextual history to the lawsuit, telling of past Supreme Court decisions concerning affirmative action, which is largely at stake in the argument.

Then, Todd Shepherd, investigative journalist for Broad and Liberty, joins the Dom Giordano Program to discuss the story centered around former St. Joe’s professor Gregory Manco who was released from St. Joes after allegedly racist social media posts. First, Shepherd reveals details he’s unearthed about the accuser who first brought the anonymous tweets to university officials, explaining that there looks to be a long-term grudge held against the professor by the student whistleblower due to a bad grade that the student received. In the Broad and Liberty story, Shepherd revealed that Manco has now filed a federal lawsuit against the university and the former student over free speech, alleging defamation, civil conspiracy, and other charges. Shepherd tells what he believes is at stake in the lawsuit, and tells what will have to happen for Gregory Manco to win the lawsuit.

And attorney Michael Taylor joins the Dom Giordano Program to discuss a situation playing out in the Downingtown Area School District featuring an election dispute. During the recent election, Margie Miller won a seat on the school board by a four vote margin. This past week, a lawyer for her competition disputed the election results, arguing that six ballots that have been disputed should win the competitor the election. Taylor takes us through the situation, telling the results of the election, and Giordano frames the situation in a larger scope, telling of the implications a decision on this election would have on mail-in ballots in elections state-wide.
