Uvalde, the insanity of Ted Cruz, and the real story of the 2021-22 school year - Passing Period #68

This Week: Manuel and Jeff reflect on the tragedy at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, TX and how to process the continued incidents of mass shootings in America. We blast the distinguished gentleman from Texas, Ted Cruz, on his insane ideas for one hardened entrance at every school, and discuss the renewed efforts to arm teachers. Also, an EdSource article with a clickbait title causes us to assess the real story of the 2021-22 school year, the remarkable resilience and genius shown by America’s educators, kids, and schools in the face of a pandemic, and massive failures of political leadership. Also, big shout out to former AOTA guest Dr. Terrence Keel of UCLA, on a bombshell new study profiling the repeated lies coming from the LA County Sheriff's Department about the extent of violent deaths that get reported as deaths by “natural causes.” Learn more about the 18 ruthless gangs that exist among officers in the LACSD, and their unchecked violent rein of terror on the people of LA, read more here.
