Welcome, everyone, to the interview, one of our podcasts here at the American Mind.

I am your host, Ryan Williams, president of the Claremont Institute, publisher of the

Claremont Review Books, and the American Mind.

Today, I talk with Scott Yenner, old friend of Claremont, professor of political science

at Boise State University.

Scott has a new book out, The Recovery of Family Life, exposing the limits of modern ideologies.

We had Scott on as a guest to the Roundtable podcast.

He was giving us an update on his other work, which is helping state legislators think

through the course offerings in various racial, critical race theory stuff.

It was in Idaho.

They've made some good progress there, including the state legislature, docking some funding

from their state universities for indoctrinating their students.

Scott is also a Washington Fellow at the Center for the American Way of Life, the Claremont

Institute's new-ish, Center in Washington, D.C., Scott's writing is on feminism, identity

politics, and all the rest.

This book, as you may have gathered from the title, is about feminism and its effects on

the family.

It's a serious book.

It dives deeply into the intellectual history of feminism, its political effect in America,

and then what we ought to do about it both in terms of policy and in terms of rhetoric

and in terms of understanding and intellectual work.

So this was a great conversation with Scott, and I hope you enjoy it.
