EP278: More Thoughts on the V-Word Mandate / CRT is Absolutely Taught In Schools / Last Week's Election Results / A Lot More

On This Episode: THE ORIGIN OF THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT Recently, a podcast erroneously and slanderously alleged that the Religious Right formed through racism. I'll debunk that. However, more importantly, we'll use this as a lesson in learning to think with some nuance and admitting that a complicated world requires complicated thinking. V-WORD MANDATE IS ISSUED AND THEN STOPPED The 5th Circuit correctly stayed the federal government's unprecedented, obviously unconstitutional employer v-word mandate. I also, though, want to talk about the decision to receive the v-word because I know many are struggling through it. Some employers will mandate it even without the government's requirement. Personally, I struggle having a side in the V-Word war, but I at least want to talk through the decision. ELECTION ANALYSIS FROM LAST WEEK I'm never particularly encouraged when Republicans when elections, but it IS encouraging with destructive ideas and personalities on the Left are defeated. So, last week's elections were good news for those who want to see bad ideas repudiated. I'll provide a breakdown of some races you might have missed as well. CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS After the election, many on the Left sought to gaslight parents regarding Critical Race Theory in schools. While CRT isn't taught explicitly, its tenants and consequences have made their way into instruction.
