No Stupid Questions Show

With the political landscape ripe with upcoming tests that will challenge the foundation of our political system, JAG and TLeake discuss whether the US is failing at the very democratic political system that it has championed. They are not on the same page and would give very different grades but come together to offer some practical solutions. Please email us at nostupidquestionsshow@gmail.com to let us know what you think.

Houston, do we have a problem?  What is critical race theory and why are so many laws being passed to "protect" us from it?  Supported by research to confirm what 'it' actually is, JAG and TLeake debate whether what we have is a failure to communicate, a major disagreement, or a fundamental problem.  Do you have experience with critical race theory?  Chime in!
