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, David P. Hardy, former CEO and co-founder of Boys Latin of Philadelphia Charter School, Pennsylvania’s first and only single-gender charter school. The student body of Boys Latin features over 80% economically disadvantaged students, but sent 85% of its graduates to post-secondary institutions, 80% of which were 4-year colleges. These numbers are allegedly unheard of, if you were to talk to a public school proponent, particularly one familiar with public schools in Philadelphia. Hardy and Giordano discuss what could be done to help bring better educational opportunities to disadvantaged students, and take a hard look at how and why the Philadelphia School District continues to produce absolutely heinous numbers.Then, New Jersey Assemblyman Erik Peterson joins the podcast to tell why he’s drafting a parental rights and kids innocence bill that will ban sexual curriculum for students between 5-10 years old. In the bill, Peterson writes that from 6th grade on, parents will have the capability to consent to what is taught in New Jersey classrooms. Giordano asks Peterson whether he’s spoken to Democrats about the topic, with Peterson explaining that Democrats are afraid of the ‘far left identity woke crowd,’ and have not shown that they would support such a bill. Peterson tells Dom what the next steps are in his fight to bring decision-making back to parents, and explains what he hopes the bill will accomplish.
