Genoa, Nev. — A town hall at Douglas High School on critical race theory was well attended on Thursday night. I think it’s exceedingly safe to say the vast majority of the folks who attended were against teaching it in the schools.

The Weather Service is putting odds on rain today between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., but since the weather doesn’t have a watch or a map, your results may vary. Expect mostly cloudy skies and a high temperature of 59 degrees with the wind out of the south at 10 mph shifting west this afternoon.
