First hour: RCSD superintendent Dr. Bolgen Vargas
Second hour: Janay Rice and #WhyIStayed
In our first hour, Rochester city schools superintendent Bolgen Vargas joins me for the hour. He's talking about truancy, and how he plans to change the dismal attendance rates. Among other things.
In our second hour, the Ray Rice video proves one thing, among others: the Baltimore Ravens engaged in rather horrifying victim blaming. The team promoted a story on its website earlier this summer with the headline, "Janay Rice deeply sorry for her role in elevator incident." Yes, her role. But now there are people who want to know why she's staying with this guy, and that has inspired the meme Why I Stayed. We talk to a panel about gender-specific abuse, and why women stay.
