It's Wednesday, August 20th.
I'm Jane Koston, and this is What A Day,
the show that has enough to worry about without the threat of radioactive shrimp at Walmart.
Yes, you heard me.
The FDA announced Tuesday that some shrimp available for purchase at Walmart may have been contaminated by a radioactive isotope.
Again, we've got enough going on.
We don't need radioactive shrimp.
On today's show,
Oklahoma rolls out a special assessment for teachers moving from New York and California to determine
if they're too woke to teach.
And the federal government tells workers, nah,
we're good on your feedback, and cancels an annual employee survey.
But let's start with Washington, D.C.
The Department of Justice announced on Tuesday it's launching a criminal investigation into D.C.'s crime statistics and whether or not they've been,
quote, manipulated to make the crime rate seem lower.
Now, this isn't a new accusation.
Back in May,
the Metropolitan Police Department put one of its police commanders on leave amidst allegations that he made changes to crime data.
But of course, this isn't really about facts.
I mean, it never really is.
