Straight Pride Parade Says They Are Serious! The organizers of Boston's Straight Pride Parade are in studio with Dan and they say they are not poking fun at the LGBTQ community.

In Texas, a high-school teacher was fired after asking President Trump to remove illegal-immigrant students from her school, in what she thought were private tweets. Do you agree with the outcomes of either of these cases?
