(Jan. 17, 2025) Guest Pete Serrano of the Silent Majority Foundation joins Bernadette and Lisa to update the threats against the recently-codified Parent’s Bill of Rights (I-2081): in the court on Friday January 24, and from new bills SB 5181/HB 1296, which are heard in committee on Jan. 21 (TVW Link), and Jan. 23 (TVW Link), respectively. Pete also provides updates on other cases: Dr. Wilkinson case being adjudicated in the WA state court of appeals which will maintain the freedom of doctor’s speech on the context of the State Constitution; Dr. Renata Moon’s case against WSU for firing her – also a free speech case.
Hosts then review the second meeting of the Domestic Extremism and Mass Violence Task Force.
Tune in on Jan. 24 to hear a detailed review of the Jan. 8 Board of Health meeting and more ways to track and act on WA State legislation.
