On this episode, we listen to a series that examines how schools across the country, including in Illinois, hand out suspensions to Black students at a higher rate than for white students. We visit a Rockford school with the most discipline violations per Black student of any school in the state. We also learn about a Springfield high school with a high percentage and a Chicago school that rarely uses suspensions.
Also:
- Larger hail is becoming a problem. We learn about research that shows it's more common.
- This Week in Illinois History recalls the beginning of Dairy Queen.
