Behind the Byline: The rise of LifeWise


On this episode of Behind the Byline, host Jaden Jefferson continues coverage of the limited series on LifeWise Academy, written by TFP reporter Laurie Bertke.

Joining them on the show is one of her ⁠story⁠ sources, Keith Comer, who created a map and website that shows the proliferation of LifeWise within school districts.

Talking points include how Bertke and Comer became aware of LifeWise; what LifeWise Academy is; how one Ohio politician made it a mandate for schools to allow for Released Time for religious instruction (RTRI); the discriminatory principals of LifeWise Academy; and how northwest Ohio schools are dealing with it.

New episodes of the Behind the Byline drop every Wednesday.

Behind the Byline is a production of the⁠⁠ Toledo Free Press.⁠
