In this issue's cover story, journalist Leah Cates does a deep-dive into Nebraska's social studies curriculum. You will hear from students and education leaders who examine and scrutinized new state curriculum standards. Overall, they say social studies education remains whitewashed. We also have stories about efforts to raise the minimum wage in Nebraska and throughout the country, waiting for the return of live music, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on funeral homes. In El-Perico we have a feature about a former gang member turned OPD officer who tells his life story. Enjoy and if you have any suggestion you can contact us: thereader.com and el-perico.com.
