Something for you to listen to, if you haven’t already heard this one.
Seemingly in school board meetings everywhere, we're still talking masks in the classroom.
So we talked with @iunorthwest's @MicahPollak who studied community spread of #Covid19 in schools.https://t.co/CfO8aqv0Pj@IUMediaSchool @IUBProvost @CenterForTRIP @IUImpact @IUCollege pic.twitter.com/ml7aTDx2Rv

These school board meetings, around here, around the country, the angst, the rage, parents targeting students. It’s a bizarro world driven by the insecurities of a few preying on school board members who didn’t sign on for this. And everyone knows it.
Read this statement from a school district in northern Indiana:
“We were unable to keep the parents from the students at all times.” https://t.co/ShaHV0NvGP

A person’s beliefs notwithstanding, harassing and trying to intimidate others because of what you read on Facebook or have seen on OAN is some kind of performance. People are going to have to live with this one day. Righteous indignity and a lack of self-awareness don’t stay merged forever.
Except, of course, when they do.
Tonight!

It was a part of a big show. They shot it like proper television, and it worked well. They only had to loop two or three pick-ups.
Great show tonight from @IUSTVsports. Just a super smooth production withal a lot of quality work from the whole crew.
Can’t wait for you to see it tomorrow, all part of @IUSTV’s #6daysofcontent. pic.twitter.com/uFB7W4tAin

I stopped by their post-production meeting — which I do about twice a year at most, even though they always look like a lot of fun — to compliment them specifically. The sports folks are doing some really nice work to be this early in the year.
And the news side, a bit younger but no less enthusiastic, is coming along, too. These were the shows they produced when we were in the studio last night.
And on this show, Anna was riding solo. It was a bit of last-minute planning. Unfortunate that it had to happen, but this is a good place to have to learn to deal with curveballs.
And if you like baseball talk, come back later tomorrow, and Friday, for a lot more sports, here in this same space. Until then, listen to that show above. And if you see yourself in a television, be just as cool as Ta, up there.
