School Board Protest, Sportswashing, and Fourth of July
Hundreds of people showed up to a Montgomery County school board meeting this week, protesting the LGBTQ+ books in the curriculum. Plus, there’s a lot of uproar over Qatar potentially investing in the D.C. sports franchise that owns the Wizards, Mystics, and Capitals. And for some fun at the end, we’ve got Fourth of July events for you.
