The Wednesday Show with Cyril Mychalejko for July 27, 2022

On today’s show, Cyril and I will be digging the on-going school board saga at Central Bucks School District - in particular, the School Board’s new book banning policy. The School Board met again last night and passed the controversial policy by a 6-3 vote. Parents, student, and community members rallied outside the meeting and expressed their opposition to their policy in the meeting. Once again Central Bucks is putting itself in the national spotlight for what happens when extremists take over.
