Chancellor Robert Caret; Living Questions; Theater Review: Deathtrap; Sri Lanka Children

University System of Maryland

Robert Caret, President of the University of Massachusetts and former President of Towson University, is returning to Maryland to head its system of public universities. We talk with him about his priorities. Then, in light of the Montgomery County Board of Education’s recent decision to remove references to religious holidays from the school calendar, Tom Hall talks with a Muslim scholar and a law professor about religious accommodation and religious freedom in public schools. Plus, theater critic, J. Wynn Rousuck, reviews “Deathtrap,"  now at Everyman Theatre. And UMBC professor, Bambi Chapin, lived in Sri Lanka for two years, trying to understand why spoiled toddlers there grew into obedient children. I talk with her about the different ways  Americans and Sri Lankans parent.
