Every once in a while you meet a true “salt of the earth” person. I’m fortunate to know that @DavidBegnaud is one of them. And I don’t think it’s a coincidence that I met more “salt of the earth” people in Louisiana than anywhere else. I’m proud of his honesty and courage.

"These school board fights over race, diversity and history that we’ve seen transpire in the suburbs that you’ve mentioned all across the country, those were not sideshows. Those were the story," says @ahylton26 on tonight’s major takeaways.
