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. Every year on the Dom Giordano Program on Philadelphia's 1210WPHT, Dom awards his Local and National 'Person of the Year' to a regular guest for what they've done within the past year. This year, Dom will announce a Readin' Writin' Reason Person of the Year as well, a guest from our podcast who listeners deem the best guest from the last year. We will have three podcasts announcing two nominees each, with listeners voting for who should move on each week, narrowing down to a final three by the end of the year. First up, Dom replays an interview with new Central Bucks School District President Dana Hunter, who joined the daily show and podcast to discuss her continued fight against advocacy groups hoping to infuse hyper-political and oftentimes explicit material into school curricula. Then, Dom plays back an interview with Tim Daly, a Pennsbury, PA parent who recently won a lawsuit against the school district after being repeatedly silenced, along with other parents, when speaking out against the school board. Tim Daly takes us inside the back and forth between the legal team representing the parents and the school board, telling about the instrumentations that led to a settlement in favor of the parents.

Most academically inclined students spend lots of time deciding where to go to college. Leon Keefer decided in 2006 that he would take his own path and go straight from Pennsbury High School to a small college in Germany. He traveled, played international Disc Golf, spent 6 months living in a remote cabin in Norway and finally made his way to New Zealand. There he found the love of his life, married and recently brought a beautiful baby into this world. Leon decided to buy a 25 Acre farm with a Barn and rests his head most nights inside of his hand made Yurt. Humble, Kind and Hilarious are words that first come to mind when describing this man. Lucky for me, he is also my cousin.

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 welcomes New Jersey State Senator Holly Schepisi back onto the podcast for an update on her effort to push back against new radical sexual education curriculum standards for children instituted by Governor Phil Murphy. First, Schepisi explains why she's taken upon this fight, telling of the importance of equality and acceptance while stressing the importance of allowing parents to raise children the way they would like. Then, Schepisi offers some examples of books that she feels pushes the line too far in sexual education, explaining the explicit material. Also, Schepisi tells about some of the programs being instituted in schools that push the envelope in sexual nature, telling why parents have come to her taking issue with what's being taught to their children.      Then, Dom welcomes back Tim Daly, a Pennsbury, PA parent, who recently settled a lawsuit against the school district after being repeatedly silenced, along with other parents, when speaking out against the school board. Tim Daly takes us inside the back and forth between the legal team representing the parents and the school board, telling about the instrumentations that led to a settlement in favor of the parents. Then, Tim tells about the checks awarded to the parents, explaining the symbolic nature of a payout that was adjusted slightly, with Giordano wondering whether that was intentional or an accident. Also, Daly tells about threats levied toward his family throughout the entire situation, including gunfire outside his house, and tells how he hopes this changes how school boards interact with parents moving forward.

Dom and Dan debate whether attire matters when trying to present optics of respect, with Dan explaining why he chooses to dress up involuntarily. Then, Giordano announces that the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court has decided on the case involving Act 77, which opened the door for universal mail-in balloting, in favor of Democrats, saying that the Act is indeed constitutional. (Photo by Michael M.

In today's third hour, Dom welcomes in Del Kolde, Senior Attorney at the Institute for Free Speech, onto the Dom Giordano Program to discuss a big win for the Institute against the Pennsbury School District. For a while now on the Dom Giordano Program, Dom has followed and hosted guests who have faced horrible censorship and silencing when trying to speak out against their local school board. In Pennsbury, Pennsylvania, it was at its near worst, with a solicitor regularly shouting down parents who were speaking of qualms with the board. Kolde discusses the case individually, first talking about the general scene at school board meetings, then telling what would be legally appropriate from the school board when debating tough issues.

Dom provides an update on an ongoing story on the Dom Giordano Program, telling that parents in Pennsbury, PA have made some movement in resolving a lawsuit filed against the school board for an overbearing solicitor and the refusal to stay true to the First Amendment. (Photo by Getty Images)

Our winter high school sports talk is highlighted this week by the start of the PIAA championships in basketball and the PIAA tournament for wrestling. Several girls' and boys' basketball teams, in various classifications, begin their road to state gold with first-round games this week. And, in wrestling, the PIAA championships begin Thursday in Hershey and run through Saturday. A weekly podcast that's all about winter sports in the Bux-Mont area with Drew Markol and Daryl Bell of the Intelligencer/Courier Times sports staff. Boys' basketball There are seven area teams, including Bensalem, Abington and Archbishop Wood in Class 6A, vying for state gold. It's a long trek, and each round gets harder and harder, but will we see a local team emerge and win it all? Time will tell. Girls' basketball A whopping 10 area teams - with four in Class 6A and four in Class 4A - begin play this week with the ultimate goal of a PIAA title on the line. Defending PIAA champ Archbishop Wood looks like the odds-on favorite again in Class 4A, but undefeated Gwynedd-Mercy might have something to say about that. Pennsbury, in Class 6A, placed third in the District One tournament and will also look to make a run. Wrestling Faith Christian will be well represented in Class 2A as seven Lions, an astounding number, will be competing for gold at the Giant Center in the PIAA championships. In Class 3A, three seniors, Council Rock South's Matt Colajezzi at 160 pounds, Central Bucks East's Quinn Collins at 189 and Central Bucks West's Carl DiGiorgio at 215 lead the way for our area.

We cross state lines - but just a little bit - for today's JBS featuring Pennsbury star senior and Winthrop signee Charlie Evans. Another one of the players we first saw at January's MLK Invitational, Charlie is a complete package - lightning speed, great defense, some power, high average - and an incredible motor, attitude, and drive that has Pennsbury slated as one of the top public school teams in the Mid-Atlantic Region according to Perfect Game. Plenty to talk about with Charlie, from his unique pre-game routine to the adjustments he had to make living on his own last summer to his decision to play college baseball down in South Carolina the next four years. We also get the lowdown on his friendship with Birdman Bats and the unique Lumber Party he threw for some of the area's best talent last month. Charlie has the respect of the top players AND coaches in the area - and we find out why on this great edition of JBS.

Both teams play in the semifinals Wednesday night. Also, congratulations to unbeaten Gwynedd-Mercy for winning the Class 4A district crown and to the Archbishop Wood girls who will be playing in the District 12 4A title game on Wednesday.

Another meeting with Abington could be on tap for the Owls. Faith Christian did win the Class A district title while Archbishop Wood is still going in the District 12 tournament. Wrestling Quakertown and Council Rock South, as expected, dominated the PIAA District One-East Class 3A tournament as the host Panthers crowned five individual champions to snare the team title while the Golden Hawks were next with three individual winners and a second-place team finish.

Plus, it's been 10 years since we've had sectional wrestling tournaments and they haven't been missed. Boys' basketball Only three area Class 6A teams are still alive in the PIAA District One Tournament - Bensalem, Council Rock North and Abington - but the lower classifications are still filled with local entries as the district tournaments are in full swing. Girls' basketball Second-seeded Souderton and fourth-seeded Pennsbury lead the way as the PIAA District One Class 6A tournament rolls along. Abington, Central Bucks West, Central Bucks South and Neshaminy are also still going strong.

Bucks County continues to be at the center of some disturbing politics. School board races in Central Bucks , Pennridge, Palisades, and Pennsbury made national news for right-wing, extremism rallying against sensible COVID mitigating strategies, diversity in our curricula, and inclusivensss in our classrooms. Organizers across Bucks County did amazing work on school board and municipal campaigns. But as we enter the 2022 election cycle, organizers are continuing the work of building power.  Tonight I welcome three Bucks County activists Amy Knecht, Emily French, and Ross McLennan. All three of them were active in this past fall's school board elections. They are also active members of our Raging Chicken community.  Amy, Emily, and Ross join me for a roundtable discussion about "what's up with Bucks?" We'll reflect on this past year's election and look forward to the organizing ahead. Join our Discord server: https://discord.gg/WMW98RQEYV

We go around the area talking everything winter sports each week. A weekly podcast that's all about winter sports in the Bux-Mont area with Drew Markol and Daryl Bell of the Intelligencer/Courier Times sports staff. Boys basketball The emergence of George School thanks to an infusion of young talent has the Cougars optimistic about the season. How Abington, a perennial District One power, is trying to stay that way despite not having a star player like the Ghosts have had so many times in the past. Over at Neshaminy, a hard working bunch is using hustle and grit to succeed. Girls basketball Archbishop Wood, defending PIAA state champions, are loaded again and priming for another long playoff run. And in the Suburban One League, Pennsbury, in the Patriot Division, is undefeated and being led by University of Maryland commit Ava Sciola - while Souderton looks strong in the Colonial Division and Abington, in the Liberty Division, is off to a great start behind Cire Worley. Wrestling This weekend's rugged Escape The Rock tournament at Council Rock South brings together local powerhouses like Quakertown, Faith Christian and the host Golden Hawks, along with a bevy of out of state powers. It all adds up to one of the toughest tournaments you'll find anywhere. And two wrestlers to watch at Escape The Rock would surely be Council Rock South's Matt Colajezzi and Faith Christian's Eric Alderfer. Both are seniors and both finished fourth in Hershey last season. The tournament will also mark the return of Quakertown to Council Rock South's gym where the Panthers edged the Golden Hawks 33-31 in a classic dual meet a month ago. A pin from Quakertown heavyweight Fred Retter in the final match was the difference.

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 is first joined by Broad+Liberty reporter Todd Shepherd, to discuss a fantastic investigation into the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion program in the Bensalem school district. In his piece, Shepherd uncovered that the Bensalem Township School District paid a consulting firm over $100,000 to a consulting firm for an ‘Equity Review,' in effort to develop a plan alongside the districts new DEI committee. Todd takes us through what he discovered, and gives us a temperature of the town of Bensalem, explaining what has led to the decision to implement such a committee. Then, Pennsbury parents Simon Campbell and Tim Daly return to the podcast. Both join to reveal an injunction granted by a federal judge, which invalidates the Pennsbury school board from utilizing policy 903 to silence public comment. For a long time now on the Dom Giordano Program and Readin' Writin' and Reason, Dom has played clips of contentious debate between Campbell, Daly, and Pennsbury's solicitor, who has repeatedly silenced parents during the open comment portion of school board meetings. Tim Daly takes us into the behind-the-scenes of the school board meetings and conversations he's had with the solicitor, and tells why he decided pursue legal paths to push back against the repeated silencing by the school board. Then, Simon Campbell explains that Policy 903 was written from a template used all over the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, provided by the Pennsylvania School Boards Association, explaining that this legal decision could have effect for other overbearing school boards throughout the State.   Finally, Ramona Bessinger pops in for a quick chat, after making national headlines for speaking out about the ways that themes from Critical Race Theory are being snuck into public curricula, after seeing a radical shift play out as a public school teacher.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Giordano was hoping to speak with Cullen, as he looks to her as a school administrator who has taken a very measured approach to dealing with angry parents and gruff about mandates. Cullen reveals what her district is planning to do once on December 4th once the statewide masking order expires. Then, Lou Dobbs, a longtime mainstay on Fox News, joins the Dom Giordano Program to announce that he's back, now with a great new podcast titled The Great America Show, which can be found LouDobbs.com. First, Dobbs reveals the mission statement behind the new podcast, telling that he hopes to feature others who are passionate for our country.

In the third hour, Fox News legal analyst Andy McCarthy hops onto the Dom Giordano Program to break down updates in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. Earlier today, the defense filed a second motion for a mistrial centered on a piece of evidence in the trial, being a video of drone footage used as evidence. McCarthy explains that the defense allegedly didn't receive the particular piece of evidence prior to it being slipped into the docket, which would be a violation. Also, McCarthy breaks down the trial itself, forecasting the jury's verdict in the trial, pointing to questions by the jury that may tip their hand in a potential decision. Then, Giordano gets word regarding a lawsuit filed against the Pennsbury School Board concerning freedom of speech, and tells that regular guests Tim Daly and Simon Campbell have received an injunction invalidating Board Policy 903, which Pennsbury's solicitor relied on to silence parents in the district.

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. This week, Dom is first joined by Denisha Merriweather, Director of Public Relations at the American Federation for Children and Founder of Black Minds Matter. Merriweather joins Readin', Writin', and Reason to discuss a piece she penned in support of school choice for the Washington Examiner. The issue, which has been used as a wedge issue in the realm of political debate on racial topics, is often talked down upon by Democrats and has been eluded to as outright racist. Merriweather explains the benefits that advancing such a political cause would bring to communities of color, and offers why she believes the push against school choice remains consistent. For more from Denisha Merriweather, head to BlackMindsMatter.net. Then, a listener favorite, Simon Campbell returns to Readin', Writin', and Reason for an update on the school board situation in Pennsbury, PA. Campbell, along with other citizens and the Institute for Free Speech, has filed suit against his local school board for overbearing tactics and First Amendment violations by board leaders and their solicitor. Campbell provides an update, and tells what his group hopes to accomplish in bringing the new lawsuit. For more on the lawsuit, head to IFS.org. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Simon Campbell, former school board member in Pennsbury, rejoins the Dom Giordano Program for an update on the continued strife between parents and board members in the Pennsylvania town. Campbell went viral back in June after he gave an impassioned speech about the school district's shady behavior and radical policies with no input from parents. After multiple instances of questionable behavior by the board, Campbell, along with the Institute for Free Speech, filed a federal First Amendment Rights lawsuit against the district.

Clarice Schillinger, a local mother who founded Keeping Kids in School and now heads up the Back to School PA PAC, returns to the Dom Giordano Program for an update after local investor Paul Martino donated half a million dollars to help grassroots school board candidates in races against candidates backed heavily by school boards. Since the culmination and announcement of the Back to School PA initiative, over 40 advocates have reached out, with Clarice interviewing over 30 candidates for $10,000 checks throughout the state of Pennsylvania. Clarice notes that parents are fired up, tired of being treated the way they are in school board meetings, and the only thing that can change in schools is by electing school board members that represent the voters rather than teachers unions. Then, Clarice forecasts the situation in schools, bringing us through hotly contested school board meetings throughout the state, explaining what is happening in towns such as Pennsbury. Finally, Clarice explains what getting involved entails, and tells what she looks for when considering candidates for the $10,000 foundation.

Campbell, a former school board member himself, called out the inability by the current board to take any heat, calling their repeated silencing of conservative parents a first amendment violation. For more from Simon Campbell, click here. Then, Ian Prior, executive director of Fight For Schools, returns to Readin', Writin', and Recap for an update on the situation down in Virginia, with a fight breaking out at the most recent school board meeting in Loudoun County, VA.

After tweeting a message of support for reporter Andy Ngo on his book, musician Winston Marshall faced an overwhelming backlash from the woke liberal mob on Twitter. Now, he's leaving the group Mumford & Sons because of all the heat he's brought upon his fellow bandmates. But as Marshall folds his cards, naturalized American citizen Simon Campbell verbally carpet bombs the Pennsbury, Pennsylvania public school board on the importance and sanctity of free speech and the First Amendment.

Simon Campbell, former school board member and self-proclaimed “Government's (Least) Favorite Pain-in-the-Arse,” joins the Dom Giordano Program to discuss a moment at the Pennsbury school board meeting last week that went viral. In a meeting, Campbell was involved in an incredibly fiery and moving 5-minute exchange pointing to the lack of freedom of discussion in school boards, particularly around the implementation of critical race theory.  Campbell takes us through his time spent on the school board, and tells of a situation in which he was called names. After being called “Margaret Thatcher's bastard child,” other members on the board wanted to prevent the tape from being posted online. Campbell instead signed a release ensuring the release of the video, completely opposite to behavior we're seeing now in which board members are looking to silence citizens from expressing their thoughts in public comment periods. Also, Campbell discusses his usage of the Right To Know Act to acquire inside information about the politics and shady behavior of local school boards, and urges listeners to do the same for their local districts.

Ryan was frustrated with the lack of attention the leaders of the youth basketball program were giving to the girls side of the program They did a bunch of research on how to start a non-profit, did a Gofundme, and launched program with 250+ girls in the 1st year and going into year 3 they will have 450+ girls! Coaching your own kids 'You told me to pass more' - Ryan was very stubborn when his dad coached him, and one time after scoring 27 points, his dad told him to pass more, so for the next couple games Ryan overreacted and took it to the opposite spectrum Ryan goes with the 'I love to watch you play' after coaching his daughters Ryan wants 'Try-hards' - kids that give it their all My Cringe Moments Most of all of Ryan's cringe moments are sarcastic things he said to refs The second thing was he used to take the results of all the games way too personally Teaching Skills You have to establish what the core fundamentals are that the level of kids you are coaching need Make skill work fun and turn it into a game With smaller kids it often starts with their feet! Good game: Defensive slide duck-duck-goose: So you play the normal game but have to do defensive slide when running around the circle. Another good game: Jump stop Mr. Fox Mental Toughness/Achieving Peak Performance Biggest thing a coach can do to help his kids: SMILE. Remind them that this is fun Jay Bilas' book Toughness talks about 'Next Play' - you can't worry about previous plays, bad calls, etc. - you need to focus on the Next Play All you can control is yourself and preparation, so don't worry about things outside of your control Culture – Discipline/Rewards/Teambuilding Anytime they refer to people involved in the program they talk about the LFE Family. They constantly hashtag #LFEFamily Establishing mentors within the program - Have the older girls connect with the younger girls The standard is that everyone is going to work hard Connecting with and Impacting Kids Ryan coached a team that had a really tough situation with a girl who had a serious eating disorder - the team rallied around helping this girl out and it actually brought the team together The One that got away They have one team that spooks his girls - the best thing he has found is just to be prepared. Best borrowed/stolen idea Rick Pitino - 'As I go through practice, I try to make corrections in 7 seconds or less.' There needs to be a rhythm and pace to your practice. For youth- maybe this needs to be 20 seconds.
