In today’s second hour, Dom leads off the Dom Giordano Program by welcoming Dr. Daniel McGarry, Superintendent of Upper Darby Schools, after the school official sent out a letter to parents about how the school plans to handle conduct in the schools after many students have been caught walking the hallways after cutting the class and getting violent with other students. In the letter sent to parents, Dr. McGarry writes, ‘Our staffs are worn out trying to provide our students the best they have to offer,’ explaining the negative implications of Coronavirus and a spike in crime outside school walls on the mental health of students. McGarry explains what he hopes to accomplish in sending the letter, and explains the importance of offering an environment that fosters the best education for students possible. Then, Dom takes some calls for listeners offering their opinion on the situation unfolding in Upper Darby, including a parent with a student in a district Middle School. Then, Dom tells of an article in the Philadelphia Inquirer that dissects the first year under Philadelphia Councilman Isaiah Thomas’s Driving Equity Law, which limits the offenses that police can use to pull over drivers in an effort to supplant a racial disparity of traffic stops.
Finally, Dom welcomes in media critic Neal Zoren to hear what’s worth watching over the upcoming weekend. First, Dom tells that his wife Roe has been watching a lot of network television, telling how she loves both procedural dramas and canned comedies, with Zoren suggesting Will Trent, a new ABC drama that features an investigator who can talk to the dead. Also, Zoren tells a couple other programs on network broadcast television that he suggests, telling why he also still does enjoy The Conners without Roseanne Barr. Also, Zoren tells what he expects from an upcoming special by comedian Chris Rock, previews the new Bob Odenkirk series Lucky Hank which comes out later this month. (Photo by Getty Images)
