This episode, I sit down with Mary Beth Tinker, the plaintiff of the landmark Supreme Court case Tinker v. Des Moines, defining how First Amendment rights are interpreted regarding students and teachers in schools. In our discussion, we talk about her story in how her case made it all the way to the Supreme Court, her current advocacy for First Amendment rights and children's rights in the fifty years since the Tinker ruling, and have a discussion about the protesters of today and the current state of our democracy.

This episode, I sat down with two black activists, Kalkidan Alemayehu and Michael Brent IV, two of the most astute, unfiltered minds that I know, to talk about race, a topic that is going to be uncomfortable, but a topic that has to be uncomfortable for the betterment of society and this country. In our discussion, we talk about what has happened over the past two weeks, what has institutionally led to this movement, how non-black people can help the Black Lives Matter movement, and how we proceed in the future.
