Dom Giordano, WPHT host and former teacher, has dedicated much of his daily show toward parents who are taking it into their own hands to push back against school boards that have a negative impact on their children. This has culminated in a weekly podcast on education, Readin', Writin', and Reason, which has allowed wonderful relationships to develop between Giordano, educators, and parents throughout the country who are speaking out against overbearing school boards. First, Dom leads off doing what should've been done long ago, by defining what exactly conservatives mean when they complain about critical race theory being taught in schools. Giordano plays back a caller from his daily show this week that asked the very question, and while the conversation became heated, the point was made that critical race theory is indeed utilized albeit under different names. Then, Christopher Paslay, author of A Parent's Guide to Critical Race Theory, rejoins the podcast to lay forth exactly how Critical Race Theory is being infused into curriculum throughout the country, despite claims by Progressives that the method isn't being used in schools. Giordano asks Paslay for an answer to the claims, with Paslay responding that in Virginia they are indeed teaching it under the term “critical race theory,” but further reinforces that it's being re-framed and called by other names, often including buzzwords such as diversity and equity. Then, Giordano asks Paslay for questions that parents should be asking to determine whether their schools are utilizing the prejudiced approach, and reveals a litmus test in his book to tell whether the theories are making their way into your curriculum.

Then, after the interview, Dom moves things back locally, playing back clips from Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw. Giordano, after hearing the weather, laments that the Mummers Parade is again in question, which Dom suggests as a negative for the city as a whole. Then, Giordano and his producers Dan and Jim throw around predictions for what they think they'll see if there is a parade on Saturday. Then, Giordano brings back up the issue of ghost planes, discussing the media framing of the controversy as a humanitarian positive for Democrats.

Dom Giordano, WPHT host and former teacher, has dedicated much of his daily show toward parents who are taking it into their own hands to push back against school boards that have a negative impact on their children. This has culminated in a weekly podcast on education, Readin', Writin', and Reason, which has allowed wonderful relationships to develop between Giordano, educators, and parents throughout the country who are speaking out against overbearing school boards. This week, Dom spends time speaking with those in the know, people who have experienced much of what we're seeing first-hand before, and have fought back in their own ways. First, Dom is joined by Anita Edgarian, an Armenian-born Iranian immigrant who spoke up against the overbearing nature of her local school board, only to be silenced. Edgarian explains why she chose to spoke up, explaining what overbearing governments can do to a citizenry, and explains why the power structure of school boards give her flashbacks to a society from which she emigrated. Then, Giordano is joined by Philadelphia school teacher Jason Paslay, who just released A Parent's Guide to Critical Race Theory. Paslay, a longtime expert in all things CRT, wrote the book to help you analyze whether or not divisive policies borne in the movement are making their way into your child's curricula. Finally, Giordano is joined by Pennsylvania State Representative Martina White, who was appalled to see that the School District of Philadelphia will offer students 12 and up the vaccination without parental consent.

Christopher Paslay, author of the new Parent's Guide to Critical Race Theory: Fighting CRT in Your Child's School, joins the Dom Giordano Program. Paslay, a former Philadelphia teacher, has been on the Dom Giordano Program before discussing his incredible last book, Exploring White Fragility, an in-depth look into claims of white fragility by those on the Left. Now, Paslay has written a guide for parents to be able to tell when their school board is infusing Critical Race Theory into their child's curriculum. In the new book, Paslay puts into layman's terms the teachings of CRT, and shows parents words used to disguise the divisive agenda as it's entered into curricula surrounding the country. Also, Paslay and Giordano discuss what's so wrong with the theory, and tells of the negative implications of judging based on skin color rather than character.

Long-time radio host Dom Giordano, an educator in a past life, returns with his fourteenth installment of his podcast centered on the ever-changing landscape of education. This week, Giordano is joined by Christopher Paslay, Philadelphia teacher and author of Exploring White Fragility: Debating the Effects of Whiteness Studies on America's Schools. In Exploring White Fragility, Paslay takes an in-depth look into the concept of 'white fragility' and 'white guilt' as the two phrases have become regular topics in discussions of race. In the book, and on his new YouTube channel, Paslay examines the effects that whiteness studies have on America's schools, and investigates how the antiracist movement to dismantle “white supremacy culture” is impacting student and teacher morale and expectations, school discipline, and overall academic achievement.

BFF’s Beer Friends Forever This week Pat sits down with ya boy Drew Paslay to talk about our love for Stella Artois
A tractor cab might not seem like the ideal place for an aspiring artist to nurture her musical dreams, but it sure did the trick for Clare Dunn. Growing up in tiny Two Buttes, Colorado (population: 43), she spent days at a time helping plow and plant the family farm, sharpening her ears with uninterrupted music-listening in the driver’s seat, even as she strengthened her work ethic. “That’s where a lot of my creativity came from and where a lot of my vision was forged, was just having nothing else to do other than listen to music and dream all day long in the vast wide open of those plains,” she reflects. By the time the genial, grounded Great Plains native got the chance to record for MCA Nashville, she had fine-tuned her creative vision and was ready to do what it would take to make it a reality, which landed her in a truly unique position: she is the only female country artist in recent memory to have a hand in all of the writing, arranging and producing for her debut release, the Clare Dunn EP. “I remember feeling like, ‘I know that I’m asking my label to take this tremendous leap of faith on me. I will be in the studio day and night. I will go until it’s right,’” says the guitar-slinging singer and songwriter. “I feel so grateful that I’ve had a team around me that’s allowed me to do that and supported me every step of the way.” True to her word, Dunn spent virtually every waking moment holed up in The Cave at Nashville’s House of Blues studios, crafting her standout sound beneath the watchful eye of a Chuck Berry portrait with such A-list collaborators as Terry McBride, Jesse Frasure, and Ben West. And it definitely paid off. The hooks have irresistible pop-rock punch, the sentiments are shot through with heartland rock grit, the vocals show R&B-schooled rhythmic daring and the arrangements are both towering and dynamic. Every lick of guitar on there, from agile melodic figures to aggressive shredding, is hers. “I think there’s, like, one song where I didn’t play a mandolin part or something like that,” she says. “But other than that, every lead part is my playing—acoustic, electric, everything.” That goes for all of the vocal parts, too—except for a solitary Eric Paslay guest harmony. Dunn doesn’t sound quite like any other singer in any genre, but her sumptuous lower range and the attitude and lustiness she summons whenever it suits the song recalls such world-class pop performers as Pink or Annie Lennox. In her teens, Dunn geeked out over a VH1 “Behind the Music” documentary that showed Fleetwood Mac working out their meticulous vocal arrangements, and in the studio, she might devote as many as a dozen tracks to doubling the melody in a different octave or layering precision harmonies, which adds to the sheer size of her sound. Dunn began paying her dues back in southeast Colorado, where she grew up the second of two daughters born into a long line of farmers and ranchers. “We didn’t have any brothers,” she says. “We did basically everything that boys would normally do, driving 18-wheelers, combines, tractors. I was very grateful that my parents raised us with the mentality that we didn’t even think about it; it was just normal for us to do all that stuff. We were a small family operation, and it’s all hands on deck, all the time.” In her early years, Dunn soaked up her parents’ favorite classic rock and country records—lots of Bob Seger titles among them—and stocked up on Top 40 singles when the family made the trek to a store in a neighboring town that actually had a record bin. She also absorbed all manner of rhythmic pop and R&B during marathon dance classes, so devoted to her hip-hop dance team that she won a scholarship to study with Janet Jackson’s backup dancers in California. Says Dunn, “My mom wore out an engine in a Suburban hauling me back and forth to dance. I couldn’t go every day like the other kids, because I lived an hour away. So I would do makeup days, and spend all day from 10 in the morning to 10 o’clock at night just learning dances so that I could be in the recitals and competitions. Dance, for me, is such a form of expression. When I’m making music, I’m thinking about it from a dance perspective—beats and musicality and phrasing.” For all of her sonic smarts, the aspiring musician lived in a town with zero places to play live shows, and she had no clue how to pursue her dream after high school until she heard about the music business program at Nashville’s Belmont University. The private school was out of her family’s price range, but she didn’t let that stop her, raising a big chunk of her tuition by driving a silage truck. “Anytime that there wasn’t school going on,” she recalls, “I was on that truck. Spring break, summer break, fall break. If you could’ve grown silage in December, I would’ve been on it over Christmas break. Whenever I couldn’t be home to drive the truck, my family kept the wheels rolling. My mom, dad and sister all drove it for me when I couldn’t be there due to classes or internships.” It wasn’t until Dunn got to college that she learned how to play guitar. Unlike a lot of dorm room dabblers, she wasn’t content to just reach the point where she could accompany herself by strumming basic chords. “Whenever I’d try to talk to a guitar player and explain how I heard things, I could never explain it,” she says. “So I thought, ‘If I can’t explain it to them, I’d better see if I can learn how to do it myself, so I can get it the way that I hear it in my head.’ Lead guitar, for me, was where it was at. I had no interest in learning G, C, and D and stopping. I wanted to be able to sing on guitar.” After college, Dunn signed a deal that went sour and turned her attention to building a grassroots following through decidedly unglamorous touring. “I loaded up me and three guys in a four-door F-150 pickup and a trailer and we took off,” she laughs. “We put 100,000 miles on it in just a little over a year. We played bars—teeny, tiny bars—and honky-tonks and festivals. It was very bleak to start out with, pinching pennies, trying to magically make a dollar turn into three dollars, trying to keep morale up. Like, ‘I know we played for two people tonight, guys, but it’s fine. We’re gonna get beyond it!’ My family helped me then too. They believed in me so much that they were willing to sacrifice in order to help me build that following to get a record deal.” The audience quickly multiplied when SiriusXM’s The Highway channel put Dunn’s flirtatious number “Cowboy Side of You” in rotation, and the fans who came out to the shows found a vital, confident band leader stomping around, swapping fearsome solos and singing likes she meant it. Universal Music Group Nashville soon snatched her up, and she attracted in-demand co-writers like Paslay, West, Frasure, McBride, Tom Douglas, Liz Rose, Hillary Lindsey, Troy Verges, Chris Lindsey, Brett James, and Ryan Beaver, and hit the road with many of her musical heroes including Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert, Luke Bryan, and Seger, who hand-picked Dunn as direct support on his Ride Out Tour. Now, that her with-it, down-home vision is captured on record and her sensuous single “Tuxedo” is impacting the country radio, Dunn is in the position to bring her music back to the people and places that taught her what determination was in the first place. “I can confidently say I would not be in this chair had it not been for that work ethic my parents and community instilled in me,” says the forward-thinking, farm-bred artist. “It’s been a tough road getting here and it’s taken longer than I would’ve liked, but I’ve always felt confident in setting and pursuing my goals. That work ethic is what drove me to learn how to play, and to go back out and play another show for ten people. Where I’m from, that’s just what you do—you work.”
Christopher Paslay is an english teacher and coach at a vocational high school in Philadelphia. He sees "anti-racist" doctrine as essentially divisive and counter to the progress of Civil Rights and racial harmony. In this discussion we talk about the goals, means, and values that animate Robin Diangelo's seminal texts, and discuss how three are different from what have so far been useful for a multicultural society.

Taylor Paslay was adopted at birth and she grew up knowing all of her family, even her biological parents. She grew up in an amazing and healthy family. Adoption to her is so normal! Her and her brother were both adopted and that’s the life they always knew. Because of this Taylor has always had a passion to adopt children of her own. She now has three children. Two that are biological and then an 8 month old who was adopted from birth. They also received a call a few weeks ago and are moving into another open adoption with a little girl.Taylor is a wife, mama, and also works with those wanting to adopt. Adoption is a part of every aspect of her life. The desire to adopt was birthed in her story. Her husband has also always had a desire to adopt. When they first met they connected right away knowing that they both desired to adopt. It has always been a core aspect of their marriage. They never knew when it would all happen, but God called them and spoke to them when it was time.It took them 2 1/2 years to finish their adoptions but it was so worth it in the end. Taylor begin working to help people adopt half way through their own adoption process. She loves to help people walk through open adoptions because that has been such a positive and special part of her story. She loves helping people address their fears and concerns and finding hope in it all.With three kids transitioning to four soon the Paslay family has learned the value and importance in intentionality. All of their kids receive love, discipline, and communication differently. The family has learned what is most important to each child and how they can meet their love needs in simple and small ways each day. One of her greatest goals is that every child feels loved and cared for at the end of the day. Practically they have monthly dates with each child where they get special one on one time with each parent.When they set out on their adoption journey Taylor felt unprepared on what to do with mixing biological children with adopted children because it was so different from her upbringing. Ultimately God met her and gave her the help and guidance that she needed to navigate this season. The family did lots of training but God has been the main guide in their transracial adoptions.The family has decided to involve their kids in every step of the way. They make the process age appropriate but they also want their kids to be a part of the real life journey of adoption. Life is hard and there are so many times that we fall down and in this process of adopting their kids got to see their parents falling yet letting God pick them up again. They got to watch their parents be vulnerable and give everything to Jesus. They learned from a young age that not everything goes perfectly but ultimately they can always trust God.Their goal is to raise their children to be their adopted siblings biggest advocates. Teaching them that they are siblings through and through.Taylor’s biggest piece of advice for people thinking about adopting is that fear is a nasty beast. There is so many unknowns but when we submit ourselves to truth we find peace even in the unknown. The first hurdle to overcome is learning to come to the understanding that you can. You can love your kids the same. You can raise enough money. You can take care of both biological and adopted children. The second hurdle is finances. God will not call you to something that He will not sustain you through. He will provide.God pulls through for family every single time!Don’t miss out on the joy that awaits you on the other side because of the hard stuff you’ll have to go through in the middle.Faith is being willing to take the first step even when you can’t see the top of the staircase. There is a sovereign God who has worked everything out for you. He will take care of you in this process.
