About this episode
This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who thinks the US Senate's failure to pass the Save America Act is the only thing that's going wrong in the country. The speaker takes aim at the system that's supposed to protect our kids, but is actually putting them in harm's way.
The conversation starts with a disturbing story about a school district in Colorado that's been hiring employees with a history of sex abuse. The speaker argues that the problem isn't with the background checks, but with the way information is shared between districts. They point out that a registry of problematic employees could have prevented these cases, but it's been stalled in the Senate. The speaker also touches on the importance of due process, but notes that it's often used to silence victims rather than protect them.
The discussion then shifts to the Supreme Court's recent decisions on immigration policy, which have left many people's lives in jeopardy. The speaker critiques the court's interpretation of the word "in" and the implications it has for asylum seekers. They also highlight the importance of solidarity and action in the face of these decisions.
If you're concerned about the issues discussed in this episode, we invite you to listen to the full conversation to hear the speaker's thoughts on how we can create a safer, more just system for our kids and our communities.
