WIND did nothing about this. Is that ok? Guess it is ok to make fun of kids on radio?

Proft also suggested someone should give “Gus Walz some Ritalin,” a medicine used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, WFLD reported. The livestream of the “Chicago Morning Answer” radio show was removed from YouTube, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Jacobson apologized on air the following day, indicating she was not aware Gus Walz is neurodivergent. Tim Walz and his wife, Gwen, told People their son “has a non-verbal learning disorder, ADHD and anxiety” — calling the conditions his “secret power".

This was not their brightest moment. But, Salem is a religious broadcaster and I am Christian, they should be the voice of good and positive. I hold them as the guilty party, staying silent. They could have turned this to a positive. I have to digress, this is radio after all. I am expecting too much. Last one turn the lights off.
