### Franklin High School Controversy: Teacher Fired Over Instruction to Students on Addressing PedophilesIn a developing controversy that has triggered nationwide debate, a Franklin High School teacher was terminated from their position after instructing students to refer to pedophiles as "Minor Attracted Persons" (MAPs). This instruction, aimed at altering the terminology used to describe individuals attracted to minors, has sparked outrage amongst parents, educators, and the broader public, culminating in the teacher's dismissal from the educational institution.The story was brought into the spotlight by Tucker Carlson, a prominent media figure, whose coverage of the incident has garnered attention to the tune of 2.4 million views. Through a brief yet impactful video segment lasting 2 minutes and 39 seconds, Carlson delved into the intricate details of the situation, questioning the implications of such a directive on students and society at large. His presentation of the topic has not only heightened awareness but has also ignited a conversation surrounding the terminology used for sensitive and controversial subjects.At Franklin High School, the teacher's approach to discussing the contentious issue of pedophilia by suggesting the term "MAPs" was met with immediate backlash. Critics argue that this terminology seeks to destigmatize an illegal and morally condemned behavior, potentially endangering children by normalizing the attraction to minors. The term "MAPs" has been a subject of controversy for some time, with opponents stating that it attempts to provide a less negative connotation to the criminal act of pedophilia.The backlash was swift and unified, leading to the teacher's firing amid concerns over child safety and the appropriateness of such discussions in an educational setting. The incident has raised significant questions about academic freedom, the responsibility of educators towards their students, and the limits of discussing complex societal issues within the classroom.Parents and community members have expressed a mix of shock and concern over the revelation, with many taking to social media and other platforms to voice their opinions on the matter. There's a consensus among critics that while it is crucial to educate students about safety and awareness concerning sexual predators, it is equally important to ensure that the language used does not undermine the severity of such offenses.The Franklin High School administration has not released an extensive comment on the matter but has confirmed the termination of the teacher in question. In a brief statement, the school reiterated its commitment to providing a safe and respectful learning environment for all students, distancing itself from the controversial instruction given by the now-former faculty member.As the dialogue around this incident continues to unfold, it serves as a potent reminder of the challenges facing educators in navigating sensitive topics. It also underscores the importance of maintaining a vigilant and protective stance towards childhood safety in all realms of society, including education.

Tom Patri is back with me this week along with 3 Next on the Tee rookies, 1984 National Champion John Inman, 1986 Florida State Amateur Champion Barry Cheesman, and Robert Morris University Head Men's Golf Coach Steve Shingledecker. TP and I got into this past weekend's Wasted Management Open and if it has gone from being The People's Open to needing The People's Court? We also talk about the rash of 60 and sub-60 rounds we've seen recently, plus the resurrection of the Maxfli golf ball. John Inman won the 1984 National Championship while at the University of North Carolina. We hear about that victory, what it was like teaming with Davis Love III and Jack Nicklaus II to win the 1983/84 ACC Championship, getting the better of Rocco Mediate twice at the '84 Western Amateur and the Provident Classic, plus whether his brother Joe, a 4-time winner between the PGA & Champions Tours, would make a great next Commissioner of the PGA Tour. Barry Cheesman started out as a Minor League baseball player in the Cardinals farm system back in the 70s. He later turned his attention to golf and won the 1986 Florida State Amateur Championship. We hear that story plus about his 2 wins on the Ben Hogan Tour including at Quail Hollow outside of Cleveland. We also hear what it took to be a long driver out on Tour in the days of persimmon woods and balata golf balls. Steve Shingledecker is a great multi-sport athlete. He was an All-American baseball player at North Carolina State. He coached Franklin High School in the Pittsburgh area to the 2006 AAA PIAA basketball state championship, and he's now the Head Men's Golf Coach at Robert Morris. We started out talking about his high school friendship/rivalry with Top 100 Instructor and fellow Pittsburgh area native Eric Johnson during their Oil Creek Region days. Someone used the phrase "garbage athlete" to describe the other. While the other one used air quotes around "athlete" when describing his friend. We moved on to learn about his college baseball days at NC State where he was the ACC Tournament MVP in 1990. We got into his golf career and learned what it was like being in the mix at the 2002 Pennsylvania State Mid Amateur Championship. We went on the court to hear what it was like coaching Franklin High to that state championship. We rounded out our conversation getting into how he went about getting the Head Golf Coach position at Robert Morris and working with his players to build that golf program.

Most K-12 schools offer support staff and specialized education classes for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. But when those kids graduate, what's next? Often, it falls on the parents to figure it out. If they don't have the resources to hire a caretaker, or time to provide full-time care themselves, navigating this transition into adulthood can be really challenging. And that's just care. What about finding opportunities for joy? Today, we'll hear from a few young adults living with disabilities and parents in Middle Tennessee. And a policy liaison from Tennessee Disability Coalition will round up some of the resources that are available in our region. Plus, we'll visit a rehearsal for Backlight Productions' upcoming rendition of "Beauty and the Beast," featuring nearly 50 actors with disabilities. The performance runs May 27 and 28 at the Nashville Children's Theater. Guests: Clay Booker, Franklin High student in the Transition program, has autism and ADHD Barry Booker, father of two sons with autism Dave Krikac, father, founder of Our Thrift Store, regional VP of Adult Services at Health Connect America Melissa Smith, executive director, Backlight Productions Fernanda Aguilar, young adult with special abilities, Backlight student, employee at Full Circle at Brentwood's YMCA Jeff Strand, coordinator of government and external affairs at Tennessee Disability Coalition Produced by Andrea Tudhope.

Typically someone who likes to keep moving forward, how long did an agonizing loss like that stay with him? What play does he want to have back the most? Coach Conner also provides a glimpse of this season's team at Linganore, which will feature new faces in several of the key positions, and why the Lancers plan to stay true to their identity.
