Plus, Wisconsin faces mounting pressure to finally pass Erin’s Law after revelations of concealed teacher misconduct. Founder Erin Merryn explains why prevention—not prosecution—should drive policy. Plus: the debate over taboo language resurfaces after high-profile podcasters resurrect slurs. Is policing vocabulary productive, or does euphemism only obscure reality?
