Today, the Ethics Professors take on what's been a prickly issue for Shawnee Mission schools. Should teachers be allowed to wear safety pins in classrooms? Then, Brian McTavish presents the latest Weekend To-Do List, featuring Chuck Haddix and a Fish Fry event that's sure to knock your holiday socks off.

Join Chuck Haddix for the Fish Fry with the Funky Butt Brass Band and Victor & Penny at Knuckleheads Saloon, presented by KCUR. The music starts at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, December 4. For more information, visit the event page on Facebook.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
