Classroom Tech, Anti-Trump Protests, Troops in Iran, and Crisis in Cuba

Schools question tech for students, No Kings protests continue, US sends troops to Iran, and a repressive situation in Cuba.

A jury rules that Meta and YouTube were responsible for damages to children’s mental health, and attention shifts to states and school districts that have lawsuits against social media companies. Will they be effective in regulating technology use in the classroom? Over the weekend, Millions of Americans attend anti-Trump No Kings Protests. And, the US has 50,000 troops stationed in Iran. Former Congressional Representative Adam Kinzinger and Clarissa Moll discuss these headlines, and then Clarissa talks to human rights activist Anna Lee Stangl about the political situation and religious persecution in Cuba.
