Summary

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser recently proposed that children as young as 11 should be able to consent to vaccinations without their parents’ knowledge. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to talk about whether this is part of a larger agenda to deny parental rights and persuade children to trust government more than their parents.

Among other topics, Lee outlines his new bill designed to hold social media giants accountable for their promises.

And we cover these stories:

The Biden administration announces that it will allow families who came into the U.S. illegally and were separated during the Trump administration to remain in the country.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says sexual harassment against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo should be taken seriously.
A whopping 70% of conservative academics say their work environment is “hostile.”
