Also, a number of mostly Republican-led states have been advancing bills to relax child labor laws. I’ll have a quick update on where those efforts stand.

And Pi Day celebrates that famous mathematical constant, but America has a constant problem with math. It’s serious enough that the Pentagon calls it a threat to national security.
