Man of the Year, Just Like Hitler

Its zero degrees! Time to warm up the radio to listen to John and Gordy. John starts out almost having a meltdown over Time's decision to name Trump the Person of the Year, but luckily he calms down after we get into the National Day Calendar. We check in with Sam for Today in History, and later welcome on Dr. Tim Slekar of BustED Pencils. He and the guys talk the dissonance seen on the ballot, in places where Trump was elected, yet also where voters overwhelmingly approve of public school referenda. They also touch on the role of PTOs in modern schools, and laws requiring teachers to disclose identity and name changes of trans kids to their parents.
