The Puzzling Future of Child Care and School Re-openings; Police Still Respond to Mental Health Calls; Whose Free Speech Is It Anyway?; Restaurant Ethics

Coming up on today's show:

• Brigid Schulte, director of the Better Life Lab and author of Overwhelmed: Work, Love and Play when No One has the Time, and New York City Councilmember Brad Lander discuss the school and child care puzzle parents and public officials are attempting to figure out.
• Carla Rabinowitz, advocacy coordinator for Community Access, and Ruth Lowenkron, director of the Disability Justice Program at NYLPI, talk about alternatives to police intervention for people experiencing mental health crises.
• A letter in Harper's Magazine argued that social media public shamings hamper free speech. Claire Potter, professor of history at The New School, and the executive editor of Public Seminar, a digital magazine of politics and culture based at The New School, signed the letter, and Malaika Jabali, writer, activist and attorney, signed a response letter that argued the original letter “does not deal with the problem of power.”
• Outdoor restaurant dining is now allowed all over the tri-state region. Restaurant employees call in to talk about how it's going so far - including whether they feel safe, whether patrons are complying with mask rules and more.
