Dr. Marilyn Moore—longtime educator, retired Lincoln Public Schools associate superintendent, and former president of Bryan College of Health Sciences—joins the show to discuss why she publicly called on Governor Jim Pillen to reconsider his recent rhetoric. After the governor used the derogatory term “libt*rd” during a telephone town hall and later labeled a Lincoln Public Schools position as “woke garbage,” Dr. Moore wrote: “Please, Governor, words matter.” Dr. Moore explains why language from public officials carries responsibility and also touches on the role of faith in public life and civil discourse.
