  • Excellent

    The first thing that popped into my head listening to the first episode is Keb’ Mo’s “Put A Woman In Charge”. Grace Lynch will both slay and soften this subject through her brilliant perspective and thought process.

    And now on to another subject about how and what kids will learn or not learn in school according to Texas. I’m surprised I’m not surprised having been told by the generation behind me that we have it all wrong. Who knew TX has influenced what kids learn now? Sigh.
