Teach (and Feed) Your Children Well (Hour 2)
It’s hard to believe we still live in an era where grown adults are comfortable with the notion that some kids go hungry while they’re at school. We’ll talk to Rep.

Childcare Crisis Can’t Be Wished Away (Hour 2)

They’re joining parents and business leaders in putting pressure on lawmakers to restore the Child Care Counts support that a GOP-controlled committee killed. Our Motherhood Monday segment also looks at the pressure moms are putting on legislators to adopt basic gun safety protections.
