On Second Thought For Tuesday, July 26, 2016

#ATLisReady is a group that has hosted demonstrations throughout Atlanta. Mayor Kasim Reed has allegedly considered setting a curfew in response to the protests. But do curfews work? We ask Mike Males, senior researcher at the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice, about what the data tells us about curfews.

Victoria Woodhull began paving the way for female presidential candidates back in 1872 when she threw her hat in the ring to lead the country. She was a psychic reader, a newspaper publisher, a Wall Street trader and the first female presidential candidate. Woodhull ran on the Equal Rights Party ticket in 1872 and her decision to throw her hat into the ring resonates as Hillary Clinton’s candidacy captures headline.  Atlanta filmmaker Victoria Lynn Weston produced and a documentary on Woodhull’s improbable candidacy. She joins host Celeste Headlee to talk about Woodhull’s politics and viability in the race for president. Then, Georgia State University professor Maurice Hobson learned about the impact of the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta through hip hop. He shares a track and discusses what it showed him about the games.We explore the efficacy of curfews with Mike Males, senior researcher at the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice. Then, we look back to 1872, when Victoria Woodhull began paving the way for female presidential candidates. Next, Georgia State University professor Maurice Hobson adds a track to our Olympic Playlist. Plus, we talk to one of the reporters who helped break the recent story on wealthy schools cashing in on Title I funding.

The federal government allocates what’s called Title I funding to school districts with a high number of poor students. But a U.S. News and World report investigation found wealthier school districts are also cashing in – while the schools that are supposed to get the money are missing out. We’ll talk to one of the reporters who broke the story.
