Support for Forum comes from Rancho La Puerta, a wellness resort in Baja, California, just an hour from San Diego,

recently voted the number one destination spa by readers of travel and leisure magazine.

Summer retreat packages of three, four, or seven nights including hiking, water classes,

mindfulness, spa therapies, and culinary adventures with

Support for Forum comes from Broadway S.F. presenting Parade, the musical revival based on a

true story. From three-time Tony-winning composer Jason Robert Brown comes the story of Leo and

Lucille Frank, a newlywed Jewish couple struggling to make a life in Georgia. When Leo is accused

of an unspeakable crime, it propels them into an unimaginable test of faith, humanity, justice,

and devotion.

The riveting and gloriously hopeful parade plays the Orphium Theater for three weeks only, May 20th through June 8th.

Tickets on sale now at Broadway, sF.com.

I'm Scott Schaefer in today for Michael Krasny. The West Coast voted solidly

for Joe Biden, but California, Oregon, and Washington have plenty of extremist groups with anti-government

rhetoric and ideas. In fact, last week's assault on the U.S. Capitol by violent insurrectionists

was in some ways previewed the day before at a Shasta County Board

of Supervisors meeting where an angry, pro-Trump, anti-mask audience threatened violence.

Coming up, we'll delve into the roots of political extremism in California and the West

That's next on Forum, right after this news.

Good morning and welcome to Forum.
