Earlier today,
President Trump unveiled his budget proposal which calls slashing $3.6 trillion
in government spending over the next decade, taking aim Education, healthcare,
and assistance programs for the poor while pouring more money into our already
bloated military budget. Joining me
today to talk all about how Trump’s proposed budget would impact America’s
students and higher education is Randi Weingarten the president of the 1.6 million-member American Federation of Teachers, AFL-CIO, which represents teachers, paraprofessionals, school-related
personnel, nurses and other healthcare professionals, and local, state and
federal government employees.
Since
we last spoke with Mark Joseph Stern
of Slate last week a lot has
happened, the Supreme Court issued a landmark decision holding that two
congressional districts in North Carolina were racially gerrymandered in
violation of the Constitution and Nevada’s Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval
signed a bill prohibiting mental health professionals in the state from
attempting to change a minor’s sexual orientation or gender identity. Mark returns to the show today to talk all
about these issues and so much more.
