A gay priest talks about the experience of participating in a Wisconsin retreat with others in his situation. Then, just six percent of Milwaukee Public School teachers are black and Latino men. A look at what's keeping men of color from becoming teacher and what's being done to change these obstacles. Plus, our Informed Voter series returns and answers a handful of listener questions about registering to vote, the voting process, and what’s on the ballot.

  • Juan Baez, director, MPS bilingual education office; LaNelle Ramey, MPS office of Black and Latino Male Achievement
  • Reid Magney, public information officer, Wisconsin Elections Commission; Mary Spicuzza, reporter, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
