Poor school kiddos. :( Anyway, if you prefer text, click the transcript. I recommend listening though, if you have time!

The format of this podcast is insufferable, like listening to two befuddled people in a retirement home exchange "witty" banter.

I looked it up though. This was 30 years ago. The court issued Border Patrol an injunction and protected students from discimination. A perfect example of the legal system acting justly and prudently, which only supports my argument that unbridled searches within 100 miles of the border is hyperbole only.

  • Not to get too far off on a tangent here, but I can't agree more. This style of podcast where a simple story is endlessly drawn out with unnecessary audio being inserted, useless details, and constant repetition without getting to the point makes getting any information at all feel like pulling teeth. I've seen it imitated in other podcasts too so the poison is spreading.
