July 14, 2026: New documentary examines child care crisis; Defying the Sand Creek Massacre orders

from Colorado Matters · host Colorado Public Radio

In Colorado, many families spend more than 20% of their income on child care, if they can find it all. A new documentary from Rocky Mountain PBS, "Careless: Colorado's Child Care Struggles," shares the stories of parents working to navigate the challenges of child care, and those coming up with creative solutions. Then, there's a new accelerated program at the CU School of Medicine to become a doctor. And it's one of the darkest moments in Colorado history: the Sand Creek Massacre of 1864, but Captain Silas Soule refused to take part. What the letters he wrote say about moral courage and conviction ahead of a panel discussion at the National Western Center July 25.
