Week-In-Review Podcast: New State Laws, Task Forces & The Confederacy

KUAR Week-In-Review Podcast.
Michael Hibblen

This week the KUAR news staff discusses a couple of new state laws. One bans cities and counties from enforcing ordinances like anti-discrimination measures on sexual orientation or gender identity. Another makes "rehoming" a felony. Task forces looking into Common Core standards and computer science in public schools are making progress. And a look at monuments to the Confederacy in Arkansas.
