The Knox County school board spent all last week wrestling with changes to its policies on student harassment and discrimination. Specifically, the board's Republican majority wanted to remove all mentions of federally protected classes (sex, race, etc.), while its Democratic minority wanted to keep them. In this week's episode, Jesse and Scott look at the rough compromise the board worked out, and what it means. Also: County employees and contractors charged with rental assistance fraud; Knox County Schools removes 48 books from its library shelves, under a new state law; the push for a "green workforce" in East Tennessee; and a few candidates emerge for the 2025 City Council races. The guys look ahead to meetings in the coming week of Knox County Commission, Knoxville City Council, and the Planning Commission. Visit CompassKnox.com TODAY!
