Press Play with Madeleine Brand
Painkiller Lawsuit, School Segregation & Beach Health
California counties sue the pharmaceutical industry, the health of California's beaches, and an in-depth look at school segregation in Los Angeles.
By Madeleine Brand • • 1h 0m ListenTwo California counties are suing the pharmaceutical industry over prescription painkillers. We talk to Orange County District Attorney about his case against the drug companies. Plus, sixty years after Brown vs. Board of Education ruled that segregation was unconstitutional, Los Angeles schools are as segregated as ever. We take an in-depth look at who has the resources to fight for their children's educations... and who doesn't. And we get the details of a new report that looks at the health of our beaches in Southern California.
