NewsDepth 2021-2022 | Episode 21

In this week's episode, we return to Eastern Europe, to meet families fleeing the fighting in Ukraine, and learn how good Samaritans – near and far – are pitching in to help. 

Next, we hear all about the State of the Union speech, and how President Joe Biden’s address last week kept with tradition –  and made history. Inspired by the State of the Union, we ask students to write up a speech of their own!    

Then, as we prepare to “spring forward,” we hear about the pros and cons of daylight saving time – and we want to know: Do you think the US should eliminate daylight saving time?   

Finally, inclusion is in the air, as we celebrate the start of the Paralympic games with stories of Ohioans overcoming the limitations of their disabilities.
