Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Controversies have flared up recently in school districts with zero-tolerance drug policies — where students can put themselves in danger of suspension or expulsion even for taking legal, non-prescription drugs on campus. We explore why districts in the Washington area have enacted these policies and what’s at stake in an upcoming Supreme Court ruling linked to the issue.
