Challenges Faced By Transgender Kids
from Poll Hub · host Lee Miringoff, Barbara Carvalho, Jay DeDapper, Mary Griffith, Emily Dupointe, Eve Fisher
One of the most prominent culture war issues of our time is also one of the most dangerous...for kids. Transgender health care and rights are front and center in our political debate and, recently, conservatives have moved to focus on trans kids. We look at where Americans land in this discussion and dig into how schools are - and aren't - helping the children they're supposed to be educating and protecting.Next, almost no one argues America faces a housing crisis. There are simply too many people unable to find affordable homes to rent or buy. One problem is many Americans support programs to add housing but reject programs to do so in their own neighborhoods. We explore why that's probably more than just a case of NIMBYism.Finally, a fun fact that addresses the most important part of your day… the meal you can’t go without!
