Summary
This is the last one with Dan Kois, guys!
On today's show, Allison and Dan talk with Matthew Herrity - a high school junior in Arlington, VA - who's protesting a rezoning plan that would lead to significant racial and economic changes at his school. Then, we take a walk down memory lane with Mr. Kois and revisit some of his most memorable fails over the years. Also, a listener call about how to respond when your youngest boy wants to wear girl stuff.
Mom and Dad Are Fighting is brought to you by Good Morning City, a new picture book written by Pat Kiernan and Illustrated by Pascal Campion that chronicles the different ways city dwellers wake up and start their day. Learn more at Mackids.com.
