What Students Learn About Coal This West Virginia Morning

Listen

On this West Virginia Morning, we hear about an effort in Kentucky to scrap statewide mask mandates for schools and in a separate story we hear about the rise in pediatric cases of COVID-19 in the Ohio Valley.

There is also news about an effort to unmask the owners of an anti-pipeline Facebook group and what to do with used tires, instead of throwing them in the stream.

For today’s installment of our series Coal – The Way Forward, we look at how coal mining is taught as part of the eighth grade West Virginia Studies program.
