Weekly Roundup: White Panic is Destroying the Country

Brad asks Dan to explain how the Southern Baptist Convention is a barometer for White American Christianity and what it means moving forward. They then discuss how the White panic over CRT has led to dangerous legislation and lawsuits. In AZ, a new law stipulates that teachers will be fined 5k if they discuss divisive topics without giving time to “both sides.” In PA, a family is suing a school district for teaching about White privilege and BLM because is supposedly infringes on their “majority White religion,” of Christianity.

Their discussion finishes with a damning investigation of how MAGAites and QAnons are taking over election sites and polling places, leaving our democracy less stable and under threat.
