We start with talking about the obviously problematic Florida "Don't Say Gay" bill and how it's once again rooted in power and control. (We love you, LGBTQ+ youth, and so do so many others.) Next, Amanda talks about a story she covered for the A&E True Crime Blog on Ellen Greenberg, a 27-year-old first grade teacher who allegedly stabbed herself more than 20 times back in 2011 and officials ruled it a ...suicide?! Her parents have been fighting ever since to get the Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office to change that back (yes, back) to homicide. What really happened that day and what did two other medical examiners discover when they independently reviewed her autopsy report?
