Pill Pod 44 - Critical Race Hysteria (Exclusive)
Added 2021-06-22 19:27:41 +0000 UTCThis week we depart from the usual solemnities to diagnose the latest object of conservative hysteria: critical race theory. It's being banned from curricula, bounced around conservative media outlets, and kicking off the careers of some new fear-mongering pundits. But what actually is it?
Attached is Derrick Bell's lecture "Who's Afraid of Critical Race Theory?"

I feel like Victor needs to be aware that he uses the word normative a lot and in a way that makes his meaning unclear. It made me question if I actually understood the meaning of word normative but then I looked it up and it does mean what I understood it to mean and Victor is being unclear and he will drop that word in like every episode. God, I really do feel like that asshole correcting someone’s grammar pointing it out but I think it might help victor in terms of the clarity of what he expresses to be aware of it.

2021-06-24 22:55:39 +0000 UTCthat antonin scalia thing i had never heard before. what an insane ideological commitment. law is such a fucked liberal institution. i have a question for you guys though. do any of you know any theologians you get along with? for some of these group discussions, i think getting a theologian on the pod would round it out in a big way. cheers.
