Dr. Marilyn Moore—longtime educator, retired Lincoln Public Schools associate superintendent, and former president of Bryan College of Health Sciences—joins the show to discuss why she publicly called on Governor Jim Pillen to reconsider his recent rhetoric. After the governor used the derogatory term "libt*rd" during a telephone town hall and later labeled a Lincoln Public Schools position as “woke garbage,” Dr. Moore wrote: “Please, Governor, words matter.” Dr. Moore explains why language from public officials carries responsibility and also touches on the role of faith in public life and civil discourse.Read Dr. Moore's note to Gov.

Shore talks about her background in higher education and health care, her years as First Lady (wife of Pete Ricketts, now U.S. Senator for Nebraska), and why she says the university is at a “critical point.” We also dive into the impact of artificial intelligence in the classroom, the evolving landscape of college athletics and NIL, and the ongoing tensions involving University of Nebraska Medical Center and Clarkson College.For more information on Shore's campaign, visit: https://shoreforregent.com/⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻Support the show by becoming a ‘Friend of Dan’ on Patreon - https://patreon.com/thedanparsonsshow⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻Additional music provided by friend of the show Josh Hoyer & Soul Colossal, support them at: https://www.joshhoyer.com/⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻Connect with The Dan Parsons Show on Social Media:- TikTok - https://tiktok.com/@thedanparsonsshow- Instagram - https://instagram.com/thedanparsonsshow- Twitter [NOT calling it "X"] - https://x.com/DanParsonsShow2- Facebook - https://facebook.com/TheDanParsonsShow⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻On the go?
