Debate Preview, America Got Rude, Canceling Sex Ed

The first Republican primary debate is tomorrow. Ravi and Rikki take stock of who’s in, who’s out, and predict the winners and losers. In a new piece in The Atlantic, David Brooks asked why Americans have become so mean. Is he right? The hosts debate this question and what we should do about what Brooks calls a “morally inarticulate, self-referential world”. Finally, Rikki and Ravi take stock of the movement to ban sex education. They break down whether the movement is real, its origins, and the evolution of sex ed instruction across the country.
