Summary

In this special episode, Ravi is once again outnumbered by two libertarian guest co-hosts: Reason Magazine writer Liz Wolfe and political commentator Stephen Kent. They discuss the feud between the White House and Jeff Bezos over gas prices and inflation. Then they turn to a controversial teacher’s training program in Florida that, some say, is infused with Christian and conservative ideology. The three hosts also weigh in on a recent ruling by the Supreme Court that some claim is more significant than the decision on abortion rights. Finally, Liz argues that cities like Austin and Miami, which have successfully lured away Californians, are at risk of replicating many of the Golden State’s flawed policies.  [1:55] Biden v.

We're being asked to decide between competing views of racial harmony, one that either focuses on the colorblind ideal and racial equality or the other which is about obvious difference, implicit bias, and the mission of equity.

0:15.0

And your schools cannot do both.

0:18.0

We don't have to choose between the colorblind world or the world of racial

0:22.4

essentialism. There's this other world where you can believe that there are certain things like

0:26.4

redlining and the failure for us to do reconstruction properly and all the other inequalities

0:32.3

that play out to this day while also not believing that we should rank order kids based on

0:35.7

their privilege in elementary schools.

I'm outnumbered ideologically. So the same disclaimer to my progressive friends who are progressive

1:04.1

point of this show. And our guest co-hosts are once again, Liz Wolfe, the associate editor and writer

1:26.1

governor Ron DeSantis training teachers to push

1:28.6

right-wing politics and junk history in schools? We also discuss the final decision of the

1:34.0

Supreme Court's term, one that many people think could have more far-reaching effects than

1:38.7

the repeal of Roe. Then we turn to the Great Migration of the 21st century, from California to Austin.
