Local Church And State Implications: Busing, Vouchers, And Politics
Episode notes
We update a local school busing dispute involving families wanting better accommodations for their children being transported to a Catholic school, citing concerns about early start times and religious freedom violations.
In the discussion on Ohio's school voucher expansion, concerns were raised about the diversion of public funds to private schools without proper oversight. Despite the intention to aid students in struggling public schools, data showed that isn't happening and is probably a feature of the scam.
Racist Derek Merrin won his nomination for a congressional seat and we also delved into progressive discontent with President Biden over his handling of Israel-Palestine issues, leading to debates on voting strategies and allegiance to party lines. Moreover, we highlighted Robert Kennedy Jr.'s anti-vaccination stance and his unlikely prospects as a political candidate, underlining the challenges of third-party competition in the US political landscape.
We conclude with a critical examination of justice disparities for wealthy individuals like Trump compared to the average citizen, questioning the fairness of the legal system.
