Description:

Editor's note: During the show some misinformation about vaccines was presented by our guest. We promised a fact-check and a link to a CDC report to our listeners on air. Here is that report.

Today on Insight, California State Superintendent Tony Thurmond updates school reopenings. Rural and underserved communities also discuss the challenges with vaccination rates and the hesitancy some are weighing. Plus, we take a closer look at the so-called ‘California exodus’ during the pandemic, and as we prepare to ‘spring forward,’ whatever happened to voters approving a bill making Daylight Saving Time permanent?
