from Seattle Now · host KUOW News and Information
Today, we’re bringing you the best from the KUOW Newsroom… First, Washington state's Democratic party is facing a competitive election season, and its fiercest challengers are other Democrats. Next, Friday was May Day across the US, and here in Seattle, a march and rally started at Cal Anderson park. On hand was a new group called the Seattle Singing Resistance… inspired by the anti-ICE movement in Minnesota. And finally, a story from the city of Battle Ground in southern Washington… A social studies teacher at Battle Ground High School was suspended eight months ago for what she said at a politically charged time, and she’s still working to be allowed back in the classroom.
