Good Morning, Colorado, you're listening to the Daily Sun-Up with the Colorado Sun. It's Friday, September 10th. Today - How two years into Colorado's home school boom, new families are still joining the fold amid the pandemic. But before we begin, let's go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett's book “Colorado Day by Day”: Today, we take you back to September 10th, 1945 when a hatchet job gone wrong created a legend. In an attempt to cook a chicken dinner Lloyd and Clara Olsen of Mesa County found themselves with a headless chicken who's brain stem was still intact. The so-called “Headless Wonder Chicken” soon took on new life as a sideshow attraction appearing before crowds from coast to coast. This went on for about a year and a half, and even made the Guinness Book of World Records! Now, our feature story. Reporter Erica Breunlin spoke with Jesse Paul about how two years into Colorado's home school boom, new families are still joining the fold amid the coronavirus pandemic. And the growth in the state's home-school population is expected to be long-lasting. There also is a growing interest in a blend of homeschool and public school in which students divide their time between the two options. To read more about the way the pandemic has changed parents' approach to education in Colorado go to coloradosun.com And Before we go, here are a few stories that you should know about today: Four teenagers died Wednesday night when the SUV they were riding in on Colorado's Eastern Plains was struck by a tractor trailer. The youngest victim was 14 and the oldest was 16. The Colorado State Patrol says drugs and alcohol are not suspected to have contributed to the crash, which happened near the small town of Wiley. Drought has loosened its grip across nearly half Colorado in the past year, but parts of the state could see conditions worsen in the coming months due to an autumn and winter that experts say will be hotter and drier than normal. Colorado State University climate scientist Peter Goble says “the outlook is not encouraging.” About 52% of the state's geographic area now faces some type of drought -- ranging from abnormally dry to exceptional drought. The U.S. Drought Monitor says that this time last year, the entire state was plagued by a lack of rain. Twenty Democratic attorneys general, including Colorado's Phil Weiser, have voiced their support for a lawsuit challenging South Carolina's new abortion law. They are arguing that the restrictive measure could harm their states by taxing resources if women cross borders to seek care. The group filed an amicus brief with the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The Colorado Supreme Court has declined to hear a lawsuit from the Daily Camera newspaper in Boulder. The lawsuit sought to challenge the University of Colorado's refusal to reveal the finalists for the school president's job in 2019. The Camera sued in 2019, seeking the names of six finalists interviewed by the Board of Regents to replace then-university President Bruce Benson, who was retiring.

Are all of the rules and regulations governing economic activity a product of central planning or legislation? To what extent does privately produced and enforced governance play a role? On this throwback episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, Edward Stringham argues in a panel discussion of his book "Private Governance" that much of what is orderly in the economy can actually be attributed to governing mechanisms devised and enforced by private groups and individuals. Hayek Program director Peter Boettke moderates the discussion as Edward Stringham is joined on the panel by Jason Brennan and Bruce Benson. CC Music: Twisterium
