This Show
Part 1: KKK Art Statue
Dale discusses various topics including Clark Ryan’s upcoming Friday appearance, his 28th anniversary at the station, and the story of Clark’s cat. The show pivots to controversial topics: outrage culture, a University of Iowa art installation depicting a KKK figure made of newspapers about racial violence that caused students to miss classes, and free-range parenting after Maryland parents were investigated for letting their 10- and 6-year-old children walk a mile to a park. Dale criticizes modern oversensitivity and the inability to distinguish between depicting racism and being racist.
