EDUCATION
Who Decides What Kids Get to Learn in School?
This year has seen parental bills of rights gaining momentum across the country, putting limitations on what can be taught in public schools — particularly around issues of race, history, and LGBTQ identity. These bills have opened up explosive debates over education, often pitting parents against teachers. What’s behind these initiatives, and how are they impacting schools, laws, and children? Hear from writer and editor at The Dispatch, David French, Wheaton College theology professor Esau McCaulley, and Stanford internet researcher Renée DiResta as they unpack how we got here and ways to move forward in a conversation moderated by New York Times podcast host Jane Coaston.

SOCIETY
Kids Are Changing the World — And They Still Need Our Help
Today's kids are coming of age against a backdrop of political, social, technological, and economic upheaval. While these circumstances are shaping a precocious generation that is changing society and redefining cultural norms, kids are also struggling with mental health issues, the pressures of social media, and the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 on key developmental years. At the same time, being a parent is more challenging than ever. Workplace demands and the shortage of affordable daycare and paid leave policies all put enormous strains on families. How can we better support children, parents, and families? What do we need to learn from younger generations in order to help them thrive? Here’s a playlist that tackles these questions and more.

WORLD
Will Democracy Self-Destruct?
"There is a set of trends that are global in nature and very important because they drive what's happening to democracy in the world," says Moisés Naím, writer and distinguished fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. "I call them the three P’s: populism, polarization, and post-truth." Watch Naím, Johns Hopkins University professor Yascha Mounk, and CEO of New America Anne-Marie Slaughter in discussion with Robin Wright, joint fellow at the US Institute of Peace and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. They discuss the backsliding of democracy, the rise of autocratic leaders, and how we might harness this political moment to build democracies that deliver to everyone.
