On this week’s podcast, we discuss the debate over how to ensure a safe return to the classroom for teachers and students. We also discuss the legislative push to make it harder to vote and Republicans’ embrace of extremist politics.

Get more information about the debate over returning teachers to in-person education: the precautions experts say are necessary, the letter Governor Kemp wrote declining to move teachers to a higher priority level for vaccination, and the types of precautions being taken at Atlanta Public Schools.

See this piece from Georgia Public Broadcasting’s Stephen Fowler about the litany of proposed legislation that would make it harder to vote.

Read the stories from the AJC’s Chris Joyner on a new militia alliance and the state law that prohibits private militias.

See Zack Beauchamp’s piece at Vox interviewing experts about the threat of right-wing extremist political violence.

See the video Democratic impeachment leaders played on the first day of President Trump’s impeachment proceedings.

This episode was recorded on Tuesday, February 9, 2021.
