NightSide News Update. We kick off the program with four news stories and different guests on the stories we think you need to know about! For one of our segments this evening we discuss what topics Americans are preparing to avoid at the dinner table this holiday!
Teachers on Strike in Beverly & Gloucester! Starting today, teachers in the towns of Beverly and Gloucester went on strike, closing schools. Teachers are asking for better pay, benefits, and smaller, more manageable class sizes, among other demands. While it is illegal for teachers to go on strike in Massachusetts, both the Beverly Teachers Association and the Gloucester Teachers Association are committed to striking until a contract is reached. We discuss!
*The Gloucester Mayor’s Office as well as the Beverly Mayor’s Office did not respond to our request to join the conversation*
A New Approach? After this week’s presidential election loss, some Democrats are rethinking their priorities and what issues they will emphasize going forward. U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton has expressed concern over the party’s focus on identity politics and suggests the party should shift its approach to transgender issues. Dan will discuss whether it’s time for a Democratic reassessment.
*Rep. Seth Moulton is not available to join us this evening*
