GDP Script/ Top Stories for July 31st        Publish Date:  July 31st         From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Wednesday, July 31st and Happy 62nd Birthday to actor Wesley Snipes. ***07.31.24 – BIRTHDAY – WESLEY SNIPES*** I'm Keith Ippolito and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett Students Exceed State On Milestones Gwinnett Police Mourn Death of Retired K-9 Elsa More Gwinnett School Board Members Speak Out About AP African-American Studies Plus, Bruce Jenkins' conversation with Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on how to manage snacking. All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Break 1: M.O.G.   STORY 1: Gwinnett Students Exceed State On Milestones Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) students generally outperform their statewide peers on Georgia Milestones Assessments, excelling in 11 out of 13 areas. However, results still fall short of the ambitious goals set by the district's Blueprint For The Future plan. Less than 50% of students in several grades, particularly in English/language arts and social studies, achieved proficient or distinguished scores. Notably, 8th-grade science and high school physical science results were significantly below state averages. GCPS is analyzing these results to improve strategies and outcomes. The full details will be presented to the school board in August, with math results expected in September. STORY 2: Gwinnett Police Mourn Death Of Retired K-9 Elsa Gwinnett County Police K-9 Elsa, who retired last fall after eight years of service, passed away last Thursday due to a spinal illness. Elsa, a Belgian Malinois, joined the department in 2016, thanks to a $12,000 donation for her training. During her career, she participated in 545 service calls, apprehended 51 suspects, and was involved in 87 narcotic apprehensions and 133 evidence recoveries. Her retirement came in October due to declining performance. Elsa was cared for by her final handler, Cpl. Austin Hylton, and will be remembered for her significant contributions to public safety. STORY 3:   More Gwinnett School Board Members Speak Out About AP African-American Studies Gwinnett School Board Vice Chair Karen Watkins co-signed a letter from the Georgia Federation of Teachers demanding an explanation from Georgia Schools Superintendent Richard Woods for not recommending state funding for the AP African-American Studies course. This decision, which has sparked backlash including from Gov. Brian Kemp, means the course cannot be offered as an AP course in Gwinnett due to funding and GPA implications. The letter, also supported by local churches and advocacy groups, seeks a revamp of the curriculum to be more inclusive. Watkins and other Gwinnett board members argue that students should have access to such courses without bearing additional costs. The Georgia Federation of Teachers plans to push for legislation to address these educational inequities in the 2025 session.   We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

We'll be right back Break 2: TOM WAGES STORY 4: NOW OPEN:  New 280-Unit Apartment Complex in Norcross The Clara By Broadstone, a 280-unit apartment complex by Alliance Residential, has opened at 5420 Buford Highway in Norcross. Located near downtown Norcross and close to Lillian Webb Park and the Norcross library, the complex offers one- and two-bedroom apartments featuring modern amenities like granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and hardwood-style floors. The property includes a 24-hour fitness center, resort-style saltwater pool, coworking space, pet park, and outdoor dining area. This development is part of a broader effort to revitalize the Buford Highway area into a more urban and vibrant community. STORY 5: Brunswick sets cargo record while Savannah suffers decline   In fiscal 2024, the Port of Brunswick saw significant growth, handling a record 876,000 units of Roll-on/Roll-off cargo, a 21% increase from the previous year. In contrast, the Port of Savannah experienced a 2.3% decline in containerized-cargo volume, managing 5.25 million twenty-foot equivalent units. Brunswick's growth is attributed to rising consumer demand, expanded trade, new car manufacturers, and cargo diversions from Baltimore. Despite Savannah's decline, the Georgia Ports Authority remains optimistic and continues to invest in infrastructure, including new facilities at both ports.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for July 26th Publish Date:  July 26th             From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Friday, July 26th and Happy 81st Birthday to Mick Jagger. ***07.26.24 – BIRTHDAY – MICK JAGGER*** I'm  and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett Leaders Push Back Against State Superintendent's AP African American Studies Decision Gwinnett Schools Down To 20 Teacher Vacancies Gwinnett Police Searching for Killer Of Lawrenceville Man Found Dead In His Truck All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: M.O.G.   STORY 1: Gwinnett Leaders Push Back Against State Superintendent's AP African-American Studies Decision Mallory Fannin and other teachers at Central Gwinnett High School were preparing to offer Advanced Placement African-American Studies this fall when State School Superintendent Richard Woods decided against state funding for the course. This decision, announced days before the school year starts, has sparked backlash from Gwinnett County officials and education advocates. They argue that excluding the AP course undermines students' representation and educational opportunities. Critics, including state lawmakers and local board members, argue the move aligns with recent laws restricting the teaching of certain concepts. The decision could influence upcoming elections, highlighting the broader debate over educational content and representation. STORY 2: Gwinnett Schools Down To 20 Teacher Vacancies   With the 2024-2025 school year starting on August 5, Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) has 20 teacher vacancies, a significant improvement from past years. GCPS Chief Human Resources Officer Cathy Hardin reported this is the lowest number of vacancies seen pre-school opening in years. The district, which had 71 vacancies in mid-July, has filled about 1,500 new teaching positions and hired 98% of its 2023-2024 student teachers. Additionally, all bus driver positions are filled, positioning GCPS as a leader in staffing compared to other districts. STORY 3: Gwinnett Police Searching For Killer Of Lawrenceville Man Found Dead In His Truck Gwinnett County police are seeking public help to identify a suspect in the murder of 40-year-old Guadalupe Garcia Rodriguez from Lawrenceville. Rodriguez was reported missing on July 1 by his wife, and his body was discovered in his truck on July 3. Police have released photos of a Hispanic male suspect in his 20s or 30s with a slim build, last seen walking on Bethesda Church Road near Hidden Dr. Anyone with information is urged to contact GCPD at 770-513-5300 or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS (8477) for potential rewards.   We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We'll be right back   Break 2: TOM WAGES   STORY 4: Grayson grad-now in the NFL- reunites with surgeon at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Owen Pappoe, now a linebacker for the NFL's Arizona Cardinals, first faced significant injury challenges in high school when he tore his left hip labrum during a game in 2016. Despite initial fears and the need for hip surgery in early 2017, Pappoe made a swift recovery, thanks to his dedication and superior athletic conditioning. He later surprised his surgeon, Dr. Cliff Willimon, with a visit to thank him for his care. Pappoe also gave back to the community by visiting young patients at the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center, driven by his own family's experience with sickle cell disease. As he prepares for his second NFL season, Pappoe is focused on improving and contributing both on and off the field. STORY 5: Gwinnett County receives 31 national achievement awards   Gwinnett County has set a new record by earning 31 National Association of Counties (NACo) Achievement Awards for implemented programs in 2023, exceeding last year's total of 22. This is the highest number of awards the county has achieved in more than 50 years. Among the honored programs are the Affordable Housing Development Fund, Gwinnett Entrepreneur Center, and the Veteran and Family Services Center. The county also received the Best in Category Award for the Harvest Gwinnett Community Garden Ambassador Program, which promotes community involvement and addresses food insecurity through gardening. Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson highlighted the county's dedication to providing innovative and responsive services to its residents.   We'll be back in a moment   Break 3: INGLES 1   STORY 6:   Pesticides Can Equal Smoking in Hiking Risks for Cancer   Recent research indicates that living in agricultural areas with high pesticide use may pose a greater cancer risk than smoking, particularly for non-Hodgkin lymphoma, leukemia, and bladder cancer. The study, led by Isain Zapata from Rocky Vista University, highlights that the combined effects of multiple pesticides significantly increase cancer risk. The analysis, published on July 25, 2024, utilized data from the US Geological Survey on 69 common pesticides to estimate lifetime cancer risks. Findings show that exposure to this "pesticide cocktail" can surpass the cancer risks associated with smoking, especially in farming regions like the Midwest. STORY 7: Ossoff's bill banning stock trading by members of Congress clears Senate committee   U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff's bill to ban stock trading by members of Congress has advanced, clearing the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The legislation, co-sponsored by Sen. Mark Kelly, requires Congress members, their spouses, and dependent children to place their stock holdings in a blind trust, with fines up to their salary for violations. Ossoff argues this reform is crucial to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure fairness, given Congress members' access to non-public information. Despite bipartisan support, the bill faces challenges in the Senate and House, but enjoys broad public backing. Ossoff aims for a Senate vote before November's Election Day.   We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: INGLES 2 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Earlier this week, Georgia's state schools superintendent Richard Woods put his foot in his mouth when he announced the state would no longer be funding AP African American Studies. Folks were outraged. Folks (the Republican governor included) wanted to know why he made that decision. Well, he reversed course (somewhat) but activists were still outraged, so I reached out to Atlanta-based public education policy advocate Mikayla Arciaga so she could explain why Woods' about-face isn't good enough. Donald Trump's gone from "anytime, anywhere" to "not gonna debate her" using "we can't even be sure she's the nominee" as their excuse. And it definitely is that - an excuse. One that makes no sense to use to back out of a date in mid-September and well after the DNC convention when whomever the nominee is will be known by then. Meanwhile, former Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan - a Republican - again considered who he'd choose between Donald Trump and whomever else was on the ballot and went away from his party to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. Hear why.

In this episode: Inside a federal courtroom in Atlanta, a lawyer for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis just made a remarkable confession: The state is trying to prevent private employers from talking to their own employees about things like systemic racism and gender inequality. It's part of a broader effort by the DeSantis administration to control what Floridians can say, hear and learn about groups that have been historically disenfranchised — like Black people, women and LGBTQ+ people. There's a reason why Ron DeSantis and his backers don't want people thinking about this stuff.

Los Angeles Unified has opened a new grade to all 4-year-olds called universal transitional kindergarten. Who's enrolling, and why are some choosing not to? AP African American Studies became an official course at Dorsey High School in Crenshaw last year, and soon it'll expand to the rest of LAUSD. Schools around the state are feeling the effects of climate change. Now, after heavy parental lobbying, LAUSD plans to “green” 30% of all its campuses by 2035 to create more shade.

Today's Headlines: Former President Trump faced arraignment in a Washington DC courtroom where he pleaded not guilty to four federal charges connected to his efforts to subvert the 2020 election outcome. A trial date was set, and he was released from custody pending trial without any bail or travel restrictions. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooter was sentenced to death in Pennsylvania after being found guilty of 63 criminal counts for the heinous act of murdering 11 people and injuring 8 others in 2018. In Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis banned AP Psychology from schools due to its references to gender and sexuality, leading to a clash with the College Board, which refused to remove these topics from the curriculum. DeSantis had a history of banning certain courses, including AP African American Studies, causing controversies in the state's education system.

Why did the College Board, which oversees Advanced Placement classes, change certain parts of the AP African American studies course framework? Post Reports digs into the latest controversy about the new AP course, still in its pilot stages.Read more:After Florida's Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis came out against the new AP African American studies course, it sparked a controversy. The state said it wouldn't allow students to take the class because it lacked educational value.Then the College Board changed the course framework just in time for its debut on the first day of Black History Month. Many questioned whether conservative leaders prompted changes to the program. Where the word “systemic” was mentioned in the previous plan for the class, it was completely removed from the new one. The same with other topics, such as Black Lives Matter and reparations, which went from 15 mentions in April 2022 to one in February 2023. Education reporter Nick Anderson breaks down what happened to AP African American studies and why these changes occurred in the first place.

Friend of the show, New Jersey governor Phil Murphy sits down with Ebro in the Morning to discuss a variety of topics including recent issues between communication of New York & New Jersey EZ Pass, what NJ is doing about reproductive rights, recreational cannabis licenses in the state, and expanding AP African American Studies courses in High Schools across the state.  Find new podcasts here: https://www.hot97.com/podcasts SIGN UP FOR BETTERHELP: https://www.betterhelp.com/get-started/?go=true&transaction_id=102354e0ba6c13b32a4f65baab2c5b&utm_source=podcast&utm_campaign=1378&utm_medium=Desktop&utm_content=&utm_term=ebro¬_found=1&gor=start  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are a lot of different Advanced Placement history courses out there: art history, European history, U.S. history. Now, after a decade in development, there finally is an AP course focused on African-American studies.The course hasn't official launched yet, but it's currently being piloted in 60 schools across the U.S.The course has drawn national attention after controversies erupted over what is, and isn't, in the curriculum. We ask three educators who are teaching the course what they are actually teaching and why it matters.

Julio and guest co-host Renée Graham, opinion columnist and associate editor at The Boston Globe, discuss Tyre Nichols' funeral and the white supremacy behind the undercounted number of police violence cases in the U.S. They also discuss the College Board's amendments to its AP African American Studies course, which were made shortly after Gov. Ron DeSantis rejected the course in the state of Florida. And, they unpack the recent vote to remove Rep. Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Republican Nikki Haley's run for presidency.  ITT Staff Picks:  “With the police killing of Nichols, the wash-rinse-repeat cycle has begun anew. There have been protests, though nowhere near as large or diverse as those in 2020. Black people, as usual, are doing the heavy lifting. There are talks again about reviving the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act that previously stalled in the Senate. But it'll never get through House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's extremist puppet masters,” writes Renée Graham in this piece for The Boston Globe.  John Nichols writes about Rep. Ilhan Omar's record on foreign policy and states that despite her removal from the House Foreign Affairs Committee, she will not be silenced, in this article for The Nation.  Marcus Anthony Hunter writes about how the African American story is also the American story, and yet it is an uphill battle to teach African American history in light of Gov. DeSantis' decision, in this article for the LA Times.  Photo credit: AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta, File

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2:  On Monday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced a proposal that would prevent teacher unions from automatically deducting union dues from teacher paychecks without prior consent. Governor Ron DeSantis defended his decision to force the Florida Department of Education to alter its AP African American Studies course for public high schools. DeSantis explained the proposed course includes things like “queer theory” and “abolishing prisons”—topics not relevant to African American history. Much of the course simply amounts to a far-left political agenda being pushed on children while in the classroom. The Daily Wire writes of the proposed course, “[t]he College Board has so far declined to publicly release the African American studies curriculum, asserting that the material contains proprietary information. The course is expected to undergo changes before any nationwide implementation.” Rich and Matt can't stop talking about how much they admire Thomas Sowell. What's the better book, “Basic Economics” or “A Conflict of Visions”? In an opinion editorial featured in The Wall Street Journal, Philadelphia 76ers President Daryl Morey warned that freedom of speech is under attack on college campuses across the country—specifically his alma mater the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Morey writes, “[i]f MIT faculty, who are at the cutting edge of science and technology, can't count on their employer to defend open inquiry, it might prevent them from taking innovative risks. This, in turn, would stymie technological progress and the education of the next generation of innovators.”

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/24/2023): 3:05pm- On Tuesday, it was reported that classified documents were found by aides to former Vice President Mike Pence at his Indiana home. A representative for Pence said the former VP “inadvertently boxed and transported” the documents to his home at the conclusion of his service in the Trump Administration in 2017. 3:15pm- Joe Biden, Mike Pence, and Donald Trump have all been accused of mishandling classified documents after leaving public office. As Rich notes, an important difference between former President Donald Trump's possession of classified documents—his ability to declassify.  3:30pm- In the case of Joe Biden, it's not just the mere possession of classified documents, it's the White House's seeming attempt to cover it up—or at least preventing the story from going public until after the 2022 midterm elections. 3:35pm- Appearing on PBS with Margaret Hoover, historian and former Biden adviser John Meacham stated that the discovery of Joe Biden's mishandling of classified documents “neutralizes” any criticism of Donald Trump for doing something similar.  3:50pm- During Tuesday's press briefing, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy peppered White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre with questions regarding President Biden's mishandling of classified documents. After each question, Jean-Pierre referred Doocy to the White House Counsel for answers. 4:05pm- On Monday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced a proposal that would prevent teacher unions from automatically deducting union dues from teacher paychecks without prior consent.  4:10pm- Governor Ron DeSantis defended his decision to force the Florida Department of Education to alter its AP African American Studies course for public high schools. DeSantis explained the proposed course includes things like “queer theory” and “abolishing prisons”—topics not relevant to African American history. Much of the course simply amounts to a far-left political agenda being pushed on children while in the classroom. The Daily Wire writes of the proposed course, “[t]he College Board has so far declined to publicly release the African American studies curriculum, asserting that the material contains proprietary information. The course is expected to undergo changes before any nationwide implementation.” 4:25pm- Rich and Matt can't stop talking about how much they admire Thomas Sowell. What's the better book, “Basic Economics” or “A Conflict of Visions”? 4:40pm- In an opinion editorial featured in The Wall Street Journal, Philadelphia 76ers President Daryl Morey warned that freedom of speech is under attack on college campuses across the country—specifically his alma mater the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Morey writes, “[i]f MIT faculty, who are at the cutting edge of science and technology, can't count on their employer to defend open inquiry, it might prevent them from taking innovative risks. This, in turn, would stymie technological progress and the education of the next generation of innovators.” 5:00pm- According to a report from The Daily Wire, the European Union has approved “cricket powder” as a food additive to boost protein in consumer diets. The powder is now permitted to be placed in foods like bread, chocolate, soups, and cereal bars.  5:10pm- Who is eating bugs? Hollywood celebrities, of course!  5:30pm- In the absence of school choice, the government possesses a monopoly on education. Rich's rant is temporarily interrupted by Henry's story about dating an Olympian… 5:45pm- While speaking with Nora O'Donnell on CBS News, California Governor Gavin Newsom referred to the 2nd Amendment as a “suicide pact.” 5:55pm- Zeoli is preempted for sports.

Tonight on The Last Word: Donald Trump and the GOP remain a threat to U.S. democracy. Also, Republicans push more abortion restrictions after the Roe reversal.
