Arguing that she was fired for saying parents should know when their child wants to join the opposite sex, a former guidance counselor sues her school district. Tony Kinnett reports. In a video podcast, Sen. Josh Hawley tells our Mary Margaret Olohan that the Left is out to extinguish traditional masculinity.
