Hour 2 -  Happy Tuesday! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour: Do you remember the stupid rules that limited what we could and couldn't buy during covid lockdowns? Bug spray, sunscreen, and seeds were all on that list. A Russian court on Monday sentenced one of the Kremlin's most prominent critics, Vladimir Kara-Murza, to 25 years in prison, after what was widely seen as a show trial. This marks the longest prison sentence ever handed down against an opponent of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The owner of the Hotel of Terror has enough petition signatures to force the city to take a second look at using eminent domain to take his property. ALSO -  Kimberly Hermann with the Southeastern Legal Foundation joins Nick: In the fall of 2020, Springfield Public Schools held a mandatory “equity” training for all of its employees. In August 2021, Brooke Henderson and Jennifer Lumley, two educators in SPS, stepped forward and with the help of Southeastern Legal Foundation filed the first-in-the-nation lawsuit against the mandatory district-wide training. In the lawsuit, Ms. Henderson and Ms. Lumley alleged that the training violated the First Amendment because it compelled their speech and discriminated against their views that America should be colorblind. They also alleged that the district conditioned their employment on their commitment to equity, becoming anti-racist educators, and affirming divisive and discriminatory programming that promotes treating individuals differently based on skin color. Ms. Henderson and Ms. Lumley sought only a court order stopping SPS from violating the Constitution and a mere $1 in damages. The two lost the case and U.S. District Judge Douglas Harpool ordered Jennifer Lumley and Brooke Henderson to pay the district $312,869 in legal fees.
