Summary

Chicago is the latest city telling kids not to go back to school, joining Los Angeles, Atlanta and Philadelphia in planning to resume online learning. President Donald Trump wants kids back in school, but many teachers say they don't feel safe and they may go on strike if they're forced to return to the classroom. Randi Weingarten, the President of American Federation of Teachers, discusses the likelihood of kids returning safely to school and why she supports teachers going on strike as a last resort. On August 6th, 1945 the world changed forever. America detonated the atomic bomb over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The devastating blast killed an estimated 140,000 people. At the time, President Harry Truman believed it was the only way to force the Japanese Empire to surrender and end World War II. Hideko Tamura Snider was ten when she survived the bombing. 75 years later, Tamura Snider discusses that morning and what mankind can learn from it. Plus, commentary by national security analyst, Dr. Rebecca Grant. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
