Relocalizing VT: They Shoe Horses, Don't They? - Thurs 9am

Past event
Aug 16, 2018, 9 to 10:30 AM

Coming up Thursday on Goddard College Community Radio - a free speech dispute involving a farrier wannabe and the state of California, and a Vermont-based democracy advocate on tricks for bringing people together for good conversations locally.

9:00 - 10:00 am
A wannabe farrier walked into…not a bar, but a farrier school, and wanted to learn to shoe horses. "Welcome!" said the school. "Get a high school degree first!" said the state of California. Now the Institute for Justice is helping the farrier sue to learn to shoe horses even though he doesn't know much about history, doesn't know much biology, and doesn't know much about the science books. Lawyer Keith Diggs of the Institute for Justice will tell us about the case.

Middlebury author and democracy advocate Susan Clark teaches tricks to bring people together in dialogue at the local level. She's holding a workshop on the topic at the Local Leadership Summit on October 1, and she'll talk about some her latest work.
