The Brian Lehrer Show | Jan 7, 2022
Coming up on today's show:
- Jason Johnson, MSNBC contributor, author, professor of Politics and Journalism at Morgan State University and host of the Slate political podcast A Word … with Jason Johnson, rounds up this week's political news.
- Brad Lander, New York City Comptroller and former Brooklyn City Council member, talks about his priorities for office as he takes on this new role.
- Mayor Adams has been open about having dyslexia and is critical of schools for not being equipped to properly educate students who have the same condition. Shawn Anthony Robinson reading instructor at Madison College, Senior Research Associate in the Wisconsin Equity and Inclusion Laboratory and co-founder of Doctor Dyslexia Dude and Susan B. Neuman Professor of Childhood and Literacy Education at the NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development explain how dyslexia affects the brain, and the Mayor's plan to implement universal screening in public schools.
- It's that time of year where outdoor dining has become almost unbearable with temps dipping below freezing. Listeners call-in with their alternate, so-fun-you-forget-it's-cold, suggestions for outdoor activities as omicron cases continue make some people uneasy with indoor hangs.
