Summary

Ravi, Rikki, and Joe start by looking at the merits and consequences of school districts increasingly moving towards a 4-day school week. Then we turn to a newly reintroduced bill aiming to open up research pathways for certain psychedelics, currently barred under the country’s most stringent Schedule I drug classification. Finally, we look back to a bizarre pandemic-era showdown between California’s Santa Clara County and a defiant church that found itself in the health department’s crosshairs.
