Denver Schools Facing ‘Unprecedented Challenge’ With Influx of Migrant Students, A Third of Fatal Drug Crashes in Philadelphia Linked to Fentanyl

Denver Schools Facing ‘Unprecedented Challenge’ With Influx of Migrant Students, A Third of Fatal Drug Crashes in Philadelphia Linked to Fentanyl

Episode 19 Published 2 years, 1 month ago
Description

On this week's episode of The Center Square Radio Hour, the rise of pro-Palestinian protests on U.S. university campuses often feature protesters calling for violence against Jews, leaving Jewish students feeling unsafe and frustrated by the lack of response from school administrators and federal officials. Denver’s public school system has been taking in as many as 250 new students a week since the new year, which it attributes to the increase in the number of migrants arriving in the city. James Biden, the president’s brother, testified before lawmakers Wednesday in the ongoing impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. As fentanyl-connected overdoses kill thousands of Pennsylvanians every year, the opioid shows up in traffic-crash data, too. Students at James Madison High School in south Houston, Texas, staged a walkout last week to protest a new zero-tolerance policy banning student cell phone use on that campus. And a number of factors contribute to the struggle of black families to buy their own homes.
