race-based teachings. from kindergarten to third grade the books must be free of instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity. the school district reminded educators violating parts of the law could lead teachers to be charged with a felony. >> they've come for teachers over masks. they've come for teachers over books. teachers have been called groomers. >> reporter: florida governor ron desantis signed several new education laws that he says empower parents. >> floridians want our school system to be about educating kids, not indoctrinating kids. >> reporter: sixth-grader jonas walter fears one of his favorite books may be banned from the classroom. >> because there's a boy who likes a boy in the series. >> reporter: stephanie jorgensen walter is his mother. >> i think what the legislation is doing is trying to stoke fear that things are happening in the classroom that aren't really happening. >> reporter: phillips vows to continue her fight for as long as she can. >> these all have to go. >> so i have some health issues

tax. what towns usually do to pay for things like fire stations or community centers. >> oh, my gosh. it passed by 15 votes. like we won. a little shocked because i had made myself think that it wasn't going to pass so that i wasn't super disappointed at the end of the night. >> reporter: not exactly a landslide. and out of 651 votes. but a win. as communities across the country struggle to find daycare, what's happening in warren could be a blueprint for other cities. >> the sales tax levy that passed is very unique. the only city that has done that at this point in time. >> reporter: jessica byers with first children's finance. it's 'knopp profit that works with warren and other communities to find money for childcare. she says both small towns and big cities need to see good affordable childcare as the heart and soul of their futures. >> the community needs to really look at childcare as an economic driver, not just a women's issue, not a parents' issue. it's an employer issue. it's a community issue. >> reporter: a teaching moment

of america. >> reporter: and its rw engraved stones give us a window into 19th century america. >> and here we have the fire department of philadelphia proudly selling off what was in 1854 a state-of-the-art fire engine. >> reporter: masons, locomotive makers, temperance societies. a time capsule of states that were tenuously united. >> this theme that the stones here give us a glimpse into mid 19th century america is illustrated no better than on the tennessee stone. the federal union, it must be preserved. we're talking mid 1850s here. this is a direct reference to te storm clouds that are gathering that will eventually erupt in civil war in 1861. >> reporter: even foreign countries left their mark. and there was a legendary stone from the vatican. >> pius ix sent a stone from the ruins of the temple of concord

in the forum in rome. and this outraged a number of people in the country, specifically a political party called the know nothings. their platform was decidedly anti-catholic and anti-foreigners. >> reporter: the know nothings threw the so-called pope stone into thepo t staged aie arged withlding monument i 1855. construction ground to a halt. for more than 20 years the obelisk was a stump. cows were kept on the site during the civil war, almost as if to symbolize the united states' unrealized ideals. >> the centennial of american independence comes in 1876. that's the renewed interest. not just to finish it. we're either going to finish it or we're going to tear it down because this is a complete embarrassment. >> reporter: and it's one of the reasons that if you look closely at the monument today you can see a difference in its marble

cladding. when it was finally finished in 1885, it stood at 555 feet and 5 1/8 inches tall and was the world's tallest structure. >> the washington monument is just a pure shape, and it suggests that washington is an idea as much as a man, an idea of idea of clarity, perfection and heading for the sky. one prilosec otc each morning blocks heartburn all day and all night. prilosec otc reduces excess acid for 24 hours, blocking heartburn before it starts. one pill a day. 24 hours. zero heartburn. this cough.

well, after a series of close calls and alarming events aviation safety in the u.s. is being put to the test. now the federal aviation administration has issued a call to action to keep up with what it describes as a dramatically changing system. here's cbs's kris van cleave. >> reporter: on the congressional hot seat, acting faa administrator billy nolen this week tried to reassure senators the nation's aviation system is safe despite a series of incidents and close calls over the last two months, prompting him to launch a safety review and call for an industrywide safety summit. >> can i say to the american public that we are safe? the answer is that we are. >> reporter: u.s. air travel continues to experience an unprecedented period of safety, currently managing about 45,000 flights a day. while it's been 14 years since a fatal airline crash and approximately 22 million flights, that stretch has come uncomfortably close to ending several times recently. >> safety is our north star. it's the reason we have such an amazing safety record.
