Can A Pronoun Send You To Jail?

In today's "Snowflake Alert" segment I'll tell you about what happened when Professor Harley Shaiken tried to give a quiz to his class at UC Berkeley. The "Culture War" segment has us taking a look at what has parents of sixth-grade students of Lithonia Middle School in Georgia fuming. Spoiler: the school quizzed students about their knowledge of sexual “identity definitions”. The "Outrage" segment covers three stories. Story number one; George Ciccariello-Maher, tenured associate professor of politics and global studies at Drexel University, said that the primary threat to free speech and expression across America’s colleges and universities come from “a coordinated right-wing campaign”. Story number two; California Gov. Jerry Brown has signed a new law that will punish any health care worker who “willfully and repeatedly” does not use the “preferred name or pronouns” of transgender patients. Story Number Three; Judge Gregory S Ross has awarded a rapist joint custody of a child conceived from the act of raping a then 12-year-old girl.

Don't forget about the Edwards Notebook and the Veteran's Tip of the Day! All of this and more as time allows. Listen live, join the chatroom, be a part of the show.
