In the wake of a March 23 shooting at East High School, thousands of students walked out of class in protest, and the school board started what became an emotionally charged, highly controversial, three-month debate on the possible return of police to Denver Public Schools. They ultimately decided earlier this month that police should be a “persistent presence” in our schools, but not everyone is happy with that outcome. Host Bree Davies speaks with Board Vice President Aoun’tai Anderson about why the board reversed their 2020 decision to remove police from schools.

El Paso County Black ranchers’ give President of the Rocky Mountain NAACP, Portia Prescott, an update in their land dispute in El Paso County. Today on the show, Producer Paul Karolyi sits down with Portia Prescott to talk through the case, the changing shape of racism in rural Colorado, and the legislation she thinks would have ended this whole thing before it started: https://pod.link/citycastdenver/episode/bcaefff5663365dbc4bb6354dc1d4c2d ℹ️ When Courtney Mallery and his wife Nicole were thinking about buying a ranch on the Eastern Plains, other Black people in Denver told them to “be careful out there.” But it was the Mallerys’ dream to live off the land, so they bought 1,000 acres east of Colorado Springs anyway. A simple dispute over their property line quickly escalated with slaughtered livestock, allegations of a racist conspiracy involving the local sheriff, felony charges for the Mallerys, and nearly $200,000 in donations to a GoFundMe supporting their cause.
