As a follow up to our episode on ‘Book Bans Arrive In Flyover Country' we thought it would be great to get some perspective on the issue from those who would be most affected. We were not wrong. Ashlee & Maggie are both high school seniors at our local district and not only were they willing to sit down with us, but they were part of a number of students who stood up to speak out at a recent school board meeting in response to calls to object/ban a whole list of books from the school library. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did. And despite all the challenges today's youth face, if Ashlee & Maggie are any representation, the future is in good hands. And as you will hear, they are not waiting to get started, the future is now. The kids are alright.

Schools out for the summer!!! So lets talk education! The past year has been extremely challenging for students, educators and parents as we reentered 'normal' school following two years of pandemic disruptions. This month we are putting together a series of shows on Education focusing on Post-Pandemic schooling, mental health in our schools, schools 'safety', student experiences and so much more. With everything from the pandemic disruption to school shootings its no surprise that 'mental health' in our schools is a hot topic. We were fortunate enough to sit down with Nate Bailly, a Professional School Counselor, who has been practicing in our public schools for the past seven years. We cover the history and evolution of 'school counseling', what counselors actually do vs. what we think they do, where the profession is heading, how parents and professionals can partnered and leverage each other to help students and so much more. Today we had the great opportunity to sit down with Mark Anderson after completing his first year as the Fergus Falls Senior High Principal. Starting in elementary education and working his way across the country and into administration Mark has built an impressive resume. Joining our local school system 'post' pandemic and facing education challenges he could have never dreamed. We cover transitioning to 'normal', academics vs. emotional/mental well being, homework, cell phones and more.

We take some time today to look at some of these instances and give our take on what's good, what's bad and what's down right horrible. State legislators are putting a seemingly unprecedented number of bills forward concerning, limiting and outright banning behavior and speech surrounding these issues.
