RSH 95 -- Republicans Can't Find the CRT (6.26.2021)

Recorded June 25, 2021. Adam and Peter talk about Biden admitting he won't do much on reparations, along with how liberals are watering down the reparations fight to vouchers and piecemeal reforms that are not reparations at all and still reinforce the system of racism and capitalism. Then they talk about the right-wing backlash and controversy over critical race theory and how their agenda: whitewash American history and beat back BLM and anti-racist activism. They conclude the episode talking about the rough world millennials are inheriting and how it's impacting their ability to buy homes and start families.
