    NPR Retweeted 90.5 WESA

    Pittsburgh Public Schools traditionally organizes teams for the children's race that takes place a day before the Pittsburgh Marathon. Chick-fil-A, whose executives have openly opposed same-sex marriage, is the sponsor for this year's race.https://twitter.com/905wesa/status/1053387813469663232 …
