I am traveling back down to Alabama today and plenty happy to be doing so! My mother is still there; my brother and sister too, plus a mix of nephews, nieces, in-laws and outlaws connected to the family. I think I’ve told you before that my parents retired down there when I was still in high school, so it is one of the places I call home. I say “one of” because I’ve moved around enough to have several locations on that list: New Orleans, Denver, Rapid City, and DC now too.

As you know, I am a bit of a hockey fan. When I lived in Colorado I loved watching the Avalanche streak down the ice and I went to a good many of their games, including one of the Stanley Cup playoff tilts. The Avs are still my favorite team, although after almost ten years in DC I’ve grown quite fond of the Capitols too, and they’ve proven very exciting, especially this year.

Tonight we look at the battle over what public schools should be teaching your kids. In Texas today the state's board of education approved a new social studies curriculum that conservatives say is meant to correct for a liberal bias among the teachers who initially drafted the standards.

Tonight on 360°, a brazen case of health care fraud at the world's largest pharmaceutical company. If a person had done what this company did, they would have locked him up and thrown away the key, but as you'll see that didn't happen. They got special treatment. Plus, more of Anderson's interview with Chaz Bono, who used to be Chastity. He explains why he made the transformation from female to male.

A year into his gender transition, Chaz Bono tells Anderson 'I was never a lesbian, I just looked like one.'

Homeboy Industries traces its roots to “Jobs For A Future” (JFF), a program created in 1988 by Father Gregory Boyle while he was serving as pastor of Dolores Mission parish in Boyle Heights. Begun as a jobs program in 1988, offering alternatives to gang violence in one of the toughest neighborhoods in the city, the program soon grew beyond the parish.

Transgender people are targets of discrimination in many areas of their lives. Until recently, data on the character and prevalence of this discrimination has been limited to small studies and anecdotal reports. The National Center for Transgender Equality and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force undertook the first comprehensive national effort to document this problem.
