Pope Francis heals from a respiratory infection while the Vatican hopes to breathe new life into its relationship with Native Americans.
"On this week's AP religion roundup of France's heels from a respiratory infection, while the Vatican hopes to breathe new life into its relationship with Native Americans. An infant is comforted by his mother as Pope Francis baptizes him at the gemelli hospital in Rome. Francis spent most of the week there, healing from bronchitis and was expected to be released Saturday. Meanwhile, the Vatican tried to heal its relationship with native tribes in North America. This week it rejected the doctrine of discovery based on 15th century decrees that legitimized the colonial era seizure of native lands. This goes beyond land. Michelle Shenandoah is a Professor of indigenous law at Syracuse university and a member of the oneida Indian nation. She says the Vatican's rejection of the doctrine should prompt governments like the United States to address past abuses. It really has created generation upon generation of genocidal policies directed towards indigenous peoples. Native groups have called on the Vatican to formally rescind the papal bulls that provided the Portuguese and Spanish kingdoms, the religious backing to expand their territories in Africa and the Americas for the sake of spreading Christianity. Those decrees underpin the doctrine of discovery, a legal concept coined in an 1823 U.S. Supreme Court decision, which was cited by the high court as recently as 2005. The repudiation of the doctrine marked a historic recognition of the Vatican's own complicity in colonial era abuses committed by European powers. Truly, it has been decades that indigenous peoples have been asking for attention to this. Father David McCallum says the post visit to Canada last year opened up a new opportunity to address the church's relationship with Native American tribes. This captured not only the Pope's attention, but also the wider Vatican's attention. Indigenous leaders welcomed the statement as a good first step. Even though they hoped the Vatican would acknowledge greater culpability for historic abuses. I'm Walter ratliff.

What Happened to the Democrats? Professor Paul Kengor Explains
"A historian by training Paul. What happened to the Democrat party? You know, I think back to the likes of scoop Jackson and JFK. They never would have called for violence against somebody they politically disagreed with. And also they were Ardent anti communists. Have you, have you an explanation for what's happened? Yeah, you know, going back to JFK. I mean, they were, they reached across the aisle. In fact, speaking of anti communism, JFK ran against Richard Nixon for president in 1960. And years before that, the Kennedy family and Richard Nixon, they were all tight. They were all close. In fact, JFK's father Joseph Kennedy wrote a check to Nixon the Nixon Senate campaign when he was running against Helen gahagan Douglas, who was called the pink lady. And they said, defeat her dick, right? They cross party lines. Joe McCarthy, Joe McCarthy, who was a Republican, was very tight with the Kennedy family. Dated one of the Kennedy daughters used to hang out at hyannis port with at the Kennedy compound. Robert F. Kennedy worked for Joe McCarthy. In fact, Robert F. Kennedy's daughter, I think it's Kathleen Kennedy Townsend. Her godfather is Joe McCarthy. And then fast forwarding to Ronald Reagan in another Massachusetts, famous politician, tip O'Neill. How they got along so well.

Professor Paul Kengor Talks Ronald Reagan and Johnny Carson
"Delighted to have with us from grove city college. The relatively new editor of the American spectator, professor Paul kango. Welcome back to America first. Hey, thanks, Seb, and that Reagan appearance on Johnny Carson. I would really commend that to people if they could track it down and watch the whole thing. It's very, very good. And it's pre presidential years. It's in the 1970s. And I don't know how many people know this. I mean, I know this because of my research on Reagan, but Johnny Carson was a Reagan supporter. In fact, yeah, I've seen a number of letters at the Reagan library between Carson and Reagan and in fact, one of them, Reagan is directly thanking Carson, Carson and his wife. I think her name was Joanne, maybe. Thanking them for a campaign contribution. So they had been, yeah, Carson was a Republican and a Reagan supporter. And so were a lot of his major guests via Bob Hope, for example, Bing Crosby, Jimmy Stewart. And in those days, Hollywood was, I'd say much more balanced, although actually I think it's probably more balanced today than people realize it's just that the conservatives there today are terrified to speak up because liberals today are so brutal that they will destroy you if you come out as a Republican.

A college in upheaval: War on 'woke' sparks fear in Florida
"A liberal arts college is caught in America's culture wars. Florida governor Ron DeSantis has targeted a tiny school along Sarasota bay, new college of Florida as a staging ground for his war on woke. You ain't seen nothing yet. The governor and his allies say the progressive school with a prominent LBGTQ plus community is indoctrinating students with leftist ideology. Liz lininger is a biology and neuroscience professor. There are many changes that are being made all at the same time without due input from faculty or students. The new board of trustees fired the college president. The office of diversity and equity was dismantled. Student Olivia pere says there is tension on campus. What it comes down to. Whether or not we are allowed to have freedom in our education and ultimately freedom of thought. Students and faculty at new college compare the upheaval to a hostile takeover. I'm Ed Donahue

ESPN Includes Transgender Swimmer in Women's History Month
"So listen to this from the daily mail this weekend, ESPN has been condemned by a former champion college swimmer for including transgender swimmer Leah Thomas in their segment devoted to women's history month. Wow. I wrote in a recent column that there is no more sheep like behavior. There are many tide with them, but sports, how long is the Riley gains video? And I was given last month. Is that correct? Yeah, okay, I want to hear it and I want my listeners to hear it. There's no more sheep like group than sports writers. ESPN is composed of cowards. And I'm not surprised. Well, so much of our media is composed of such, look, it's a real problem because whenever I speak of such group a oh, they take the award for sheep like behavior, they're just a herd that sports writers, well, then I think of college presidents and college deans. And college professors, can you get more sheep like than they?

Charlie and Candace Owens Discuss the Simple Truths
"Said was, oh, black people don't have to be Democrats. And they were like, ah. Like a whole world just crumbled and they were like, how dare she say something? It's the simple truth that drives them the most crazy. It's because they live in abstractions. They can't actually ever say something that the plumber, the electrician, the police officer, the firefighter, the person that didn't go to Harvard, can understand. They have to say, well, you know, according to postmodern theory and the book by Herbert marcuse like, actually, you're a racist and a bigot because Charlie, this is not a joke. You guys can check with not even gonna believe me, but I promise you this is real. So apparently, if you have an organized pantry or a clean home, you're racist. This is a real thing. It's a real thing now. And I have a very organized pantry. I have a very like my pantry is hotter than your pantry. I am so proud of it. It took me basically two months to organize my pantry. And then I found out on because of professor, professor from Loyola university, wrote an article explaining that actually if you aspire to organize your closets, it's because you are inherently racist and you don't understand that these social contracts. I mean, how much school do you have to have to be that stupid?

The Latest Hunter Biden Developments Are Absolutely Stunning
"Story is absolutely stunning to me. If you needed any evidence that the Biden family aren't just corrupt, but traitorous, this story does it. That laptop from hell is causing some real damage to the Biden family. So the media would love you to be focusing on Trump and desantis and everything else they don't want you to focus on the border crisis. They don't want you to focus on, you know, lord forbid, you know, a bank collapse, all right? They don't want you to focus on any of that stuff that the Biden administration is causing and the damage that they're doing. So they stay fixated on former president Trump. Partly because they are scared of them, and they hate them, but also because it's an easy distraction because they know that most people have some type of emotional connection to Donald Trump, either they absolutely love them, or they absolutely hate them. I don't think there's a lot of people that are that are in between, but you know, but maybe, yeah, okay, I take that back. I'm sure there's some people that are in between, but nonetheless, this story is one of the most damaging stories that I've read. I want you to hear this audio clip. A Miranda Devine was on Fox News last night, and I want you to hear what she has to say about this. This is absolutely insane. This takes this family from corrupt to straight up traitorous. Audio clip number three popov Chan. Actually bizarre. I mean, it's another bizarre twist on an already bizarre story about the Biden family and the cast of characters involved in their influence peddling scheme around the world. And doctor gal loft is the latest one. He is an Israeli energy expert, a professor, he was arrested in Cyprus as you said, and is still in a Cyprus jail. He's charged apparently with gun running and Farah violations and various things. And he claims that he is innocent and that he's only been arrested to shut him up about what he knows about the Biden family business. And you know, a lot of his story does check out. He is regarded in his orbit in Washington, D.C. as, you know, he's well regarded. He's a legitimate energy expert. He's a former high ranking officer in the Israeli defense force. He has multiple degrees and he also talks about this FBI mole that he claims Hunter Biden used to tip off his Chinese partners that there was an FBI investigation into them. And there is some corroboration of that from the reporting that we've already done from the laptop. We know that Hunter Biden did have contacts within the FBI. We know that he used them to benefit at least one of his Chinese business

Actor Dean Cain Describes Meeting and Dating Brook Shields
"When you were in college, you were still really into sports, you weren't athlete, you mentioned even after college, how you played for the Buffalo Bills. How did you get connected with Brooke Shields in college? How did you ask her out? I heard you guys dated. So did you kind of see her and think, you know what? I think I'm gonna go chat with her or did you kind of already know you're both a Hollywood or LA connection? No, I don't think that was part of it. For me, just having that knowing that world, it wasn't something that was unfamiliar to me. But she was a year ahead of me. And we ended up having a class together. My sophomore year, religion, two 11. Malcolm diamond, the professor, and I remember I just was waiting for class. It's like, you know, wait for a class to get out. and we were in this big hallway. Staircase kind of going up. And I looked up and she looked at me at the same time, I looked at her and kind of just saw each other, it's mild. That was it. And then we just started chatting here and there. And I really, there's a lot of baggage that would go with dating someone that famous. Even at Princeton, even though Princeton, a lot of the kids were like, oh, we're so cool. We're going to pretend like we don't care that she is who she is. Oh, who cares? And then there was a lot of that stuff kind of going on, but I didn't think twice. I was an athlete and just doing my thing. And then we sort of met. And after we dated a little of my sophomore year, I literally said there's no way. I'm going to ever date this woman. It's just too much stuff. What a pain in the tail. No possible way. And then, of course, my junior year in senior year was still dating there. But that happens. Things change. Things change, yeah. Yeah. Well, I saw that reason. So that's how I developed a really normal boy meets girl girl meets boy in the hallway outside of class.

"Get Trump," No Matter the Cost With Alan Dershowitz
"Indicate that this week, Donald Trump will be arrested in New York. No better guests to help us talk about how this is outrageous, then the author of the book get Trump the threat to civil liberties due process and our constitutional rule of law, Alan Dershowitz, New York number one, New York Times Best Seller. Professor Dershowitz, welcome back to the program. Well, you have to admit my timing is pretty good. This book was did you guys did you have an inside source or something at the DA's office and you just timed it up with publication date? No, I just know who the DA is and that he wanted his 15 minutes of fame, but I didn't know when he would indict. You know, ironically, this is the weakest of the four cases that they're investigating against Trump. The weakest politically, the weakest legally, the weakest factually, and yet Bragg wants to be the first out there. Hopefully he's going to think of trying to get money for reelection from George Soros. But in any event, this is one of the weakest cases I've ever seen in my 60 years of practicing law. You know, they work for months and months and months and months and went through every statute and they produced a mouse called Mickey. This is a Mickey Mouse case.

The Uglyness of the Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Race
"You know, Jessica Kelly then justice Breyer came to my studio. We spent two hours. Justice Thomas is an old colleague and we've been on the show for two hours. The chief justice is an old colleague from I never asked a judge or a justice about a case or a political question because it's not appropriate for a journalist and especially a lawyer professor journalist to ask a justice how they will rule. I mean, it's just stupid. Undermines everything that holds up the rule of law. Is there any outrage in Wisconsin over what has happened in this race? There he is. So and I think that that's most folks in Wisconsin. So they look at what she's doing and there's two focuses about outrage a thing. One, because she's trying to turn this into a political institution rather than leaving it as an impartial legal institution. They want justices who will follow their commands in the constitution. Just simply decide cases according to the existing law. But then, you know, my opponent is not satisfied with tearing down the constitution. She wants to try to tear down me too. So she's been spending millions of dollars in ads that are just flat out lies about me. I mean, and there are remarkable lies here. And they're the kind of sloppy people tell. The kind where you can go to the public records and learn that it's simply not true. And so I guess I guess I'm grateful that if someone's going to lie about me, it's going to be about something that can be so easily disproved. But that's how ugly it's been on the left.

"Tour, I'm so thrilled finally to get this chance to talk to you about some things that are really hard to process. I think I want to start maybe with the evening that my former friend Elizabeth blakemore introduced us. I'll never forget how you started in on me on this issue of the origin of life. It seemed like you had a bee in your bonnet. In fact, anybody who watches your videos knows you have many bees in your bonnet. And that's why I love you. You're delightful to listen to. But I mean, I want to talk to you about nanoscience, but can you just give us just a taste before we get into it of what you say to a stranger like me on the issue of the origin of life? I don't even remember our conversation. Well, you don't have to remember the conversation. I don't remember the conversation. Actually, I remember not being that impressed with you. No, but what I'm saying is that you kind of gave me the rundown of Miller urey and what we know today. Can you give us the paragraph version before we get into the deeper stuff? We're clueless on the origin of life. We don't know how to make the basic four classes of molecules that are needed for life. We've never people have never made them in a prebiotically relevant manner, which means that using chemistry that would have been available on an early earth when you didn't have all the big machines that we have now. How you could ever make those four classes of molecules.

Author Michael Foley Talks About His Book 'Dining With the Saints'
"Guys, I'm happy to welcome back to the podcast. before, doctor Michael foley. He's a theologian, Professor of patristics in the great text program at Baylor university, Professor of theology at the Aquinas institute, but I love these titles of his books, drinking with the same drinking with saint Nick and the politically incorrect guide to Christianity. We're going to talk about his book called dining with the saints, I think a very appropriate topic on Saint Patrick's Day. Doctor foley, thanks for joining me. Great to great to have you. I think you can see I've got the appropriate. I don't know if this is the right shade of green, but as you can imagine, I'm not really. Well, I'm not Irish. I guess I could maybe I should change d'souza to oh, Sousa. And then I then be I then be, I could then play the baby I identify as Irish. Okay. These days we're allowed to do that sort of thing. Talk to me about Saint Patrick's Day. It's a day, I didn't have any knowledge of before I came to the United States, and who was this guy with Saint Patrick, the guy who was who evangelized Ireland, is he what brought these crazy Irish people into the folds of Christian couldn't have been an easy task and that he did he used some large buckets of alcohol to get the job done? Well, he was a real person and you're absolutely right. He was the person who brought the faith to Ireland, there was an earlier missionary actually who tried and ran from the place screening. The iris was such a hard nut to crack. But he got a commission from the Pope to bring the faith to Ireland and by all historical accounts he did. He almost single handedly within his own lifetime, turned an entire island from being druids, which was a very dark and sinister religion into Christians. So it really is a singular accomplishment.

Laura Ingraham: Fans of Reparations Want to Stereotype You As Jerks
"Lara Ingram last night on Fox News channel weighing in on this. Let's take a listen. But fans of reparations want to suck you into the debate in order to stereotype all of you as unfeeling uncaring jerks. Have been struck by the overheated and irrational response to this draft report. Those are my constituents who lost their minds about this proposal. It's not something we're doing or we would do for other people. It's something we would do for our future for our collective future and the generations to come. Wow. It would benefit our collective futures. How could anyone be against that? Now, reaching into your wallet to apologize for slavery is the least you people could do. Well, and of course, money talks. Just enhance for a law professor at Howard University, put it this way. If you're going to try to say you're sorry, well, you have to speak in the language that people understand. And money is that language. Recall that this debate began on college campuses decades ago. And then the idea really gained traction in recent years, especially after the death of George Floyd. And now, even African Americans who've enjoyed huge success in America, they think they deserve cash.

The Merits of "chevron Deference"
"Welcome back, America. I'm guilty here and thank you for joining me this morning. Now I'm about to talk about Chevron deference and my steeler fans friends think that means there's a line at the gas station like under Jimmy Carter. That's not what it is, but you need to understand Chevron deference and you and to understand why a new court filing in loper bright enterprises versus raimondo may finally lead to what we need in this country, which is a checking in of the administrative state. It's been filed by the former solicitor general of the United States. Paul Clement, who joins me now. General Clement, welcome to the Hugh Hewitt show. Great to talk to you. It's great to be with you. You know, I'm very happy to talk about that. You are a friend of Carol plant lebao and she'd been telling me for years. How can you not know Paul Clement? You know, ruxley, you know, Ted Olson, you knew chuck Cooper and, you know, ten stars. I just never run across and he's too young. So am I correct you've argued more than a hundred Supreme Court's arguments thus far? That's right here. I have argued more than a hundred cases, quite amazing to me. That is so fabulous. And I have personally recommended this man to people when they are looking for Supreme Court litigators because you don't want to send in the local council actually to target before the Supreme Court. This case of loper bright though, caught my eye, Paul Clement, because I teach con law and I try and explain Chevron deference and even law students eyes glaze over, but it can't be an issue for the administrative conference. It can't be an issue for administrative lawyers and professors. It matters to every small business in American carrying great burdens of regulation. Will you explain what Chevron deference is and then what loper bright is going to try and do I delight it to. So the thing about Chevron at least that makes me so kind of concerned about it is you and I have a lawsuit and we disagree about the meaning of a statute. The court is ultimately going to have to figure out which one of us is right. And there's no tie breaker. They have to do all the work and they have to get to a point where they just give their best impression as to what the statute means. But if instead of having a legal dispute with you, I have a legal dispute with a federal government agency, then instead of the courts having to get the statute just right. And figure out what's the best reading of the statute. They essentially get to look at it and unless the statute is clearly in my favor. Then basically the courts will defer to the government.

'Why So Many Christians Have Left the Faith' With Michael Brown
"Are ate more books. You know, people say that about me and it's like, no, no, no. That's not true of me. But you, there are certain people that I don't know how you do it. But this one, the title, it's very provocative title. And again, brand new book, why so many Christians have left the faith. So let's talk about it. I have my theories. What do you say? First, let's recognize there is a problem. You know, there's some say, well, if the true Christians, they won't leave either way, a lot of people are dropping out. Prominent leaders have dropped out fully apostasized, pastors, worship leaders, cemetery professors, don't believe the Bible anymore. We hear the stats about profession Christians dropping at a rapid rate in America, young people dropping out of church. So there are lots of different reasons. There are some who say, look, look, Eric, Jesus prophesied that there'd be an anti falling away. And this is just the expected falling away. Well, it's a falling away. There's no question that it's happening. But to just say, well, it's the final thing. There's something we can do about it. No, I don't believe that at all. And for sure, there are a number of different factors. And what I do in the book Eric is I try to break down all the different factors because everyone has their own story. Each person has their own story. And I try to shoot why this is happening and then how we can address it. So for example, one of the big issues, you've got a great book about atheism. One of the big issues is that the new atheists that really sprung up about 1516 years ago. Bestselling book, Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Daniel Dunn. What happened was the memes, the quotes, the ideas, the mindset of those books kind of trickled down to the general public. So that 12 year olds are talking about I'm not going to listen to a Bronze Age God and some antiquated book and everyone thinks the Bible is hateful and bigoted and so on. So the sentiments trickled out,

'Scalia: Rise to Greatness, 1936-1986' With James Rosen
"So this book Scalia rise to greatness really is the most in depth treatment of Scalia's life. It benefits from a wealth of documentary and personal sources that were either overlooked by or unavailable to his previous biographers. One such source is a secret oral history of his life that justice Scalia conducted in Supreme Court chambers with an interviewer in 1992, and which is now being published for the first time in these pages. And so Scalia was born in New Jersey. He moved when he was 5 to queens. He loved queens. He grew up in a multi ethnic neighborhood playing stick ball and what part of the queen since I grew up in Queens, I have to ask. Elmhurst queens. Okay. My people are from elmhurst. This is kind of amazing to me thinking of him growing up in LA. I feel the synchronicity coursing through me right now. It's actually, I don't know, I'm touched by that. Wow. So, and he was, as you say, devout Catholic, his father was an Italian immigrant who came to the United States not knowing English with only $400 in his pocket in 1920. His mother was the daughter of Italian immigrants. They both wound up becoming teachers, his mother in elementary school teacher and Scalia's father, a Professor of romance languages at Brooklyn college for 30 years. Now, between the liturgy of the Catholic Church itself and the reverence for text that he inherited from his parents and specifically his father, a romance languages professor who was leery of translation from one language to another and its ability perhaps to warp the original meaning of text, Scalia grew up with from all of these influences, a profound reverence for the inviolability of sacred texts. He went to Jesuit institutions for high school and college, Xavier high school in New York City, which was a rare hybrid of a military academy run by Jesuits. And then he went to Georgetown university in both places, he was top of his class Magna cum laude at Harvard Law School top 5 of his class there. He had an incredible prodigious capacity for hard work,

Congratulations to Tucker Carlson on one of the biggest scoops as a reporter in U.S. history, the new surveillance footage of the January 6th events sheds an entirely different light on what actually happened.

How the Trans Agenda Has Corrupted Medicine With Oli London
"Have several questions here. Let me begin by asking you what is your current advice to a young person right now? That or a parent that feels as if medical transition. I put that in quotes because you actually don't transition, is the only option. In fact, parents email me, they say Charlie, I just got back from the doctor, and they say, would you rather have a trans sun or a dead daughter? What is your response to that? Absolutely. And that's the typical response of doctors. They try to coerce parents and children and pressure them that if you do not transition this child, you're going to have a dead child will actually, I think it's the opposite because these children don't realize just how much it changes the body. Just how much it messes with the brain when they have all these hormones, these puberty blockers and for a girl, we're seeing many cases now, mostly girls transitioning to boys. If they want to totally do the bad reason and everything, they actually have to have a massive chunk of their arm taken out which scars them for life to recreate body parts and it's just it's literally like what doctor mengel did during World War II experimenting on vulnerable children and we've seen to every child that's considering this. Don't do it. We're seeing studies coming out there. There was a study in the top gender clinic in Finland, the other day, the top gender clinic professor said that four out of 5 children teens they grow out to the gender. Most people grow out of it. They grow up to be healthy adults. They're very happy that they didn't transition. So to any child, you know, you might be feeling like this now for girls, you know, some girls are tomboys. They want to play soccer. They want to be outside. That's absolutely fine. And some boys are a little bit more galley, but a medically transitioning is never ever the answer. It's going to give them so many health problems. They're going to regret it. It's also so bad to mental health,

"their professors" Discussed on The Charlie Kirk Show
"So doctor slack, I find that fascinating and in the time we have remaining here, I do want to ask you about one of the courses you teach. And I think I'm understanding this. You've taught it before. Politics 8 O four on Herbert marcuse, which of course reminds me of one dimensional man. Who is marcuse, and why is it important that we learn about him? And what kind of damage has he done to our republic? Marcus is one of the founders of critical theory and critical theory is it's a powerful philosophy that's responding to the positivist philosophies in the mid century. When you hear the language of other, for example, that comes from the Frankfurt school, where it's important to understand certain identities and how they're inseparable from their other and how that very relationship leads to political oppression. And so Marcus was arguing for a new politics of liberation. So I get into this great detail in the online course. I'm not sure how much we can get into it now. But essentially, the marcuse has the argument that the philosophers or you could say the poets and here you could stand in place of that. The white young progressive radicals should ally with in solidarity should ally with the underprivileged of society against the American middle class. And so you have this rejection of what was seen as the middle class, the working class, in the 60s, by the radicals themselves. How this unfolds in the neoliberal period is that those who are espousing critical theory who see America as a land of oppression as the enemy. They form their own authoritative priesthood. And when we round out that neoliberal era around 2008, what we find is, particularly on the conservative side, that all the conservative gods are dead, the old, the neoconservative school, the libertarian school, the performance traditionalism, they no longer able to justify the oligarchy that's been created. For example, the change in antitrust law that's privileged large corporations and the formation of monopolies in every sector of the American economy. And facing this crisis of legitimacy, both the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as in the 2008 housing market crisis. I think the oligarchs needed legitimacy and so they sided with that will priesthood whose roots go back to critical theory. That was the foundation for other schools we're familiar with, critical legal studies, critical race theory, transgenderism, and identity politics. And so you have an oligarchy that rejects the populist movement on the right, and it turns to the group that had been most critical of it. And that's going to be the radicals on the left to justify to give that regime legitimacy. And so there's two real religions that have emerged, one we saw during the COVID crisis. And that's the religion of health. So we have authorities on health who, by poisoning their population, will do them good through government mandates. And then you also have anti racism and anti racism is really taken over many of those institutions we would thought, but we're conservative, particularly Christian churches. That is so fascinating. I wish we had more time. Doctor slack, we have to have you back again. And you guys could check out all things hillsdale at Charlie for hillsdale dot com. Thank you so much.

David have when they go through that. So dr brian campbell. And i will call you brown. Excuse me why don't you start. And maybe tell us about you and how you ended up before i get to me because i'm sure nobody wants to hear the biography of a guy from dell com- but buh carol and i'm gonna have to lead off with this one time someone said well how good of a salesman itihi and i said well she could sell holy wanted to the devil himself like she's good. She's good she really is that you know the the word that's going to keep coming up. I'm gonna get into my background real quick just family we're family. We like to consider ourselves family and not just intrinsically in the department but with the tross claire family as well with what. We're going to talk about today. So i'll start off with our our side of the family. Kinesiology side kinesiology is human movement studies. And i have a doctorate in in bio mechanics. I'm dyslexic by by trade. So i can't spell bio mechanics but i understand in three dimensions. I can see vectors and physics and an allusions of motion. And so when when when i was in college athletic training major and i took a class and not struggled struggle. Seize every night. i'd get a b. And i took a class called anatomical kinesiology and i made the highest grade in that class fascinated i i just thought god was messing with me live right like hey watch this and just and my friends were struggling in that class. And i was like guys. This is the easiest class. I've ever taken in my life now back then. I didn't know i had this.

And and so fast. Forward a decade. Later and i'm teaching my passion class at the university that loved to teach and that i wanted to teach and i'm giving out my exams and exam one the first time ever.

Who seem to be doing a ton of work without a ton of compensation and if they are being exploited. Why do they stick around anyway. I think higher. Ed is one of those jobs where people see it as part of their identities when i talk to professors the adjunct tenure track. Tenured it's a role where people have sort of envisioned their whole future being in. And so i think. Sticking around through those circumstances you know that had made sense for a lot of contingent faculty. I think the other piece of this too is there are so many graduate students who Hit that faculty job market every year and there might be a sense of okay. I'll do one more post doc or all sort of take one more contingent role and then try again in a future job cycle. There's perhaps especially early in the career kind of a degree of hope. There's well are you. Seeing faultlines between different kinds of faculty like between teaching faculty versus research faculty are tenured faculty versus non tenured faculty. I think one thing that has surprised me here is that before. The pandemic those faultlines. I think we're very apparent that tenured and tenure track faculty you know could could coast if they wanted to not think much about the experience of an adjunct professor or contingent faculty member over the course of the pandemic when many departments across the country reorganized leading to cuts of even tenured faculty members. There was a lot more organization and activism among tenured and tenure track faculty that. I don't think we had seen at such a large scale before. And i believe they're they're certainly still our divisions between these groups but i think there is a greater awareness that everybody is vulnerable here and it makes a lot sense to band together. Faculty members have unionized there. Is you know anecdotally a lot. More participation in faculty senate meetings and faculty organizational committees so i think that points to just a greater awareness of the labor dynamics within the campus. Is this reckoning that seems to be happening out inevitable as something that was overdue. I think on a lot of these issues. The pandemic did serve as an accelerate of some of the underlying dynamics. That had predated it. One thing i have my eye out for in this academic year is a real mismatch between the needs of students and what. The college workforce is able to provide both in terms of staffing levels and also engagement and dedication levels of a lot of faculty and staff. When we came up with our headline for the story i had worked on. We called it the great disillusionment and i think that really reflects the fact that a lot of people who work on campuses really want distance and space between themselves and their own personal lives and the work they do. They no longer want to be in a work environment that has to be calling or that has to be part of their identity. Some people just want a job. That's the job and having that shift take place at a moment. When students are presenting such high needs is something that i i will have my eye out for to see if it if the dynamics get worse or or sort of. Get better in the year ahead. Did you get any sense that the people running the universities are starting to hear the disatisfaction and paying attention to it and are there any omens that things are going to change. I do think they hear it. I have. I have not seen any omen. That things are going to change. There's a real incentive in high read to revert to the status quo. There are financial reasons for that. I mean student. Tuition dollars are very much a key source of revenue for universities even public schools. There's a real incentive to sort of snap back to the residential college experience. I have not seen any amend that that.

"Td ameritrade dot com slash apps. It's funny because i've always thought of academia as being kind of a cushy place to hang your hat but it sounds like people are seeking refuge in other kinds of places you know. I don't think you're alone in that perception. And i think a lot of people get into higher ed because they feel like this is a stable profession so much of the higher ed workforce over the last few decades has changed in ways that don't normally through to the public perception. I would say less than half of many faculties are tenured. Other people are contingent. You know are hired every year every semester and the workload in a lot of student facing positions is totally overwhelming for people to these are people who are working really long hours often on the weekend. The pay isn't great and they don't really see an opportunity for professional advancement that was sort of an underlying issue before the pandemic and cova. Ed really showed that the lows can can be even lower than what people had anticipated. I talked to people who worked in residence halls and they were sort of trapped in a dorm room over the course of the pandemic with evidence of clusters and they couldn't visit their families for long stretches of time. The theme to these moments of these breaking point moments to me is when campuses were asking their employees to really give up their own personal lives to put their health in jeopardy during the pandemic without really acknowledging what that took and what they were sacrificing. Yeah as these schools reopened. What kind of friction are you hearing about around mask. Mandates and dachsie mandates and teaching virtually as opposed to in person. What kind of discussion are you hearing. Around those policies. I don't think i've ever seen a moment in which where you go to college. What state whether it's public or private has such a significant impact on the experience that you're going to have if you're at a public institution the policies that your school can adopt you know have always been sort of in line with what the state allows but because masks in vaccines have become so politicized. You know it's a good chance that in republican-leaning states you're not going to have a mask mandate you're not gonna have a vaccine mandate and people might not even be tested regularly. A lot of schools. Don't put up the resources for that if you're at a private institution you know. You're going to have a lot more flexibility that the campus leaders there are far more likely to mandate masks and vaccines and you know schools in states. That voted for president. Biden they are also more likely to allow for such mandates so there's a real anger particularly in public schools in red states of people not feeling like their health. Their safety the health and safety of their family members is being valued the people in charge of these schools. The administration's there in kind of a tough spot. They've got a pretty complicated challenge to deal with. And i wonder if you heard any sympathy from the workers you talk to for the people at the at the top and what they're dealing with. I think that there's an acknowledgement especially at state institutions to some degree. Their hands are tied. I think that acknowledgment is far overshadowed by a sense of. Wow this institution my employer. There's a lot of hypocrisy here. One of my colleagues really dug into the university of florida who's scientists were were sort of tapped as the experts for when a public school county decided to defy the governor's banning of of mandates so university of florida. Researchers were sort of the go-to experts. For why a school district would flout these government rules and yet the university itself didn't feel like it could do the same thing and you know. I think there was a degree of frustration. I mean people. On that campus saw the leadership as as spineless if the local school district can stand up to the governor. Why can't we when it's when it's our scientists who have shown why this is right besides these faculties and these administrations the other perspective. Here's the students. Did you hear any sympathy about the students. Wanting to get back to a normal experience and forget about all these protocols. Oh my gosh.

When's the last time you had something to eat. And he was like. I have no money left. She basically than had to ask her boss. You know can. I buy the student visa gift card so that he can put something in his stomach. These are students really trying to figure out basic needs issues and student affairs. Staffers are really on the frontlines of responding to.

"I mean still love education. I think teaching is is great as amazing. James tierney is an associate professor of economics at penn state. But not for long. He submitted his resignation. August me residing or the very least like leaving for another job has been on my mind for a while. There's a lot that eating james right now. But his biggest complaint is that his school penn state is not requiring people on campus to be vaccinated this fall even though the school is requiring a return to imprison teaching penn state leadership says most students are vaccinated. But james isn't comforted by that we don't know who is vaccinated. Even if they give us the numbers like they have that it's around eighty percent in a classroom with three hundred students that's still sixty unvaccinated students that are there. I don't wanna say hey work with your neighbors. If they don't know who they are if they are activated and if they're wearing a mask correctly and you know i'm not gonna lie that it is frustrating to have to be policing the to every time. A student doesn't wear their mass after talk. I've say don't forget you have to wear a mask if you're inside. If penn state is so against vaccine mandate why can't they what professors teach classes online again like. They did last year. This is one question. James has and he can guess the answer. It's because the students want to go back to campus. And the student's tuition money is what keeps the school running. So all of these things just like clearly to me point to the university does not care about the educational product that they are putting out they just care about what a few loud people say like. We need in person. Classes james toney's resignation will be effective at the end of the fall semester. He would have left right away but he says that would have saddled his colleagues with an impossible workload. There's only one other intro macroeconomics professor so james's sticking it out for one more term even though he's practically seething about the situation..

There's only one other intro macroeconomics professor so james's sticking it out for one more term even though he's practically seething about the situation. I don't feel as safe right now. You don't know who's vaccinated. Because penn state has decided to you know bow to the legislature of pennsylvania and not follow nine other big ten universities and having a vaccine mandate sorry. That was a rant. i apologize. James is not unique in higher. Ed if you were paying attention you might have seen the seeds of this frustration. Coming years ago because a lot of the things. Bothering james tierney at penn state. They don't start and end with a pandemic they go back much earlier. You know work life. Balance compensation burn out. The pandemic laid a lot of that bear. Lindsay ellis is a reporter for the chronicle of higher education. She put out a call a little while ago for university employees. We're looking for the exits. She couldn't believe the response. I don't think i've ever seen my inbox like that. Would get off the phone with a source and has three or four more emails from other people who wanted to talk. And when you see that kind of outpouring and feel sort of the degree of desperation and that need for something to change. I sort of knew this is a place. I need to dig in and just talk to as many people as i can. What was their prevailing mood. Oof not a great one. I think there was a lot of anger. There was a lot of fear in there was a lot of sadness. The last eighteen months have left a lot of college. Employees feeling frankly disillusioned with the work that they do and unsure of whether the leaders of these institutions are.

"But jill did you to add to the size of the to take the olympics back this this sports back to holidays started. It's training for war. So women aren't gonna do that. And then next they became sort of an indicator of the class so where we get gangs again in homer to go back to homework. Because that's what i do is in the odyssey when it is in disguise and this island of three and they have dinner and then they go outside and they say now. We're going to have some that. Let it contests. And he doesn't want to do it because he's been at cnn he's old and they say well. This is how you prove that you're noble person otherwise you just a pirate in. You're not worth anything. And this gets really pissed off at that and goes to beat them all in games and so it's so much part of their culture that philosopher you might have heard of plato His name allegedly means why would knowledge play-doh means why and it's a name from his wrestling dates. Apparently his chest with so widely and that that he got this name. Plato as a nickname. And that's not even his actual name. Yeah and i wanted to add in that wind. We go to the roman period. Which is the court tomorrow. I'm comfortable with We have evidence for female gladiators and so it's not as though Women never have the ability to participate in sports now in in the roman period. We do have references under the reign of nero under the reign of comedy who you may remember from such movies as gladiator that there are women who compete in gladiatorial games. But these are mostly enslaved women. In all likelihood many of them are trying to imitate the greek myth of amazon's and so incorporating myth and thinking about the warrior groups Just like we did with the men. I think would be really important. Understanding female legs as well because these female gladiators that are called in the plural gladiator crissy's and then in the singular a gladiator tricks These women we know from a relief in the british museum. That has two women fighting each other but we also have literary references that. Tell us that it was something of a spectacle to go to the coliseum nc women fighting each other because it wasn't as communist seeing men obsessed. Okay so what about like ancient body image stuff as it relates to. Because i feel like a lot of this stuff is about like bodies that like you know your chest or like you know wanting to run around nikes so like was there a lot of like were. You meant to be really fit. Like fitness was something that people were really like talking about a lot. Then so. I mean in our earliest evidence all So talking about bodies from from homer's iliad and the odyssey there is an absolute correlation between you being an aristocrat a noble and looking good looking pretty right so for instance when to lennox deceased son goes abroad people sable he must be a nobleman look. How big pretty. He is an achilles from. The elliot is famous for being the most beautiful man who went to troy so they you know the fancy word for this physiognomy the idea that your your virtue is shown on your body and the ancient world is that if you were noble you would look better. You be taller. Your skin will be clear. You had a t and a lot of this comes from having a good diet when you when you're growing up having access to food and healthcare and you know not to not to get modern but we have this in the modern well to like you ride the subway you see. He read on people's bodies how hard their life has been had orthodontist. When they were young they went through dermatologist. Right if they exercised a lot in the ancient world it was the same way. And the only way you'd have the time to exercise to be a top athlete is if you're wealthy to begin pray and i would just bring in on the round inside that if we look to mark antony for instance one thing that mark antony was criticized for is that went out and got a greek athletic trainer because greek athletic trainers go all in vogue in the first century. Bc ease that. You've gotta get a gorgeous greek male athletic trainer and he's gonna work you out he's going to cover you olive oil and struggle you Which is how you get dirt off in. I'm sorry i didn't bring this up prior but You don't have soap being used in the ancient world if it exists but people aren't using it on their bodies and so people cover themselves in olive oil and then you have a struggle that you scrape off from your skin and so mark antony heavily criticized by romans back at round. Because they believe he's gone. Greek he's hired a greek athletic trainer. He wants to look beautiful but again. Just like joel said. There's this belief that mind and body are intertwined and in order to have a beautiful mind you need to have a beautiful body and so these two things are not mutually exclusive and. I think we're going to ruin some of your ancient olympic fantasies. They're jonathan because the the first olympics would've been smelly and dirty. They didn't they didn't bay. They didn't have soap Scraped the dirt off their bodies And then go back to it. So i think probably for us like if we had a time machine and we used it for this purpose we probably gag kinda stinky smelly a little. Yuck what when you said troy. Where's troy again. Is that vice. It's in asia minor. Modern turkey by in a classical period. There are lots of greek city states. In what we now call turkey. In fact up until the nineteen fifties there are largely populations In parts of turkey so there was there so three ninety three when they are like. They're definitely cancelled at this point. Like dido is like no more. Like but greece still continues. We just don't have the olympics anymore. And then that sets the stage for fifteen hundred years later they come back which is kind of leading into words. What so when you were saying like this we were talking about like the sex and the baths and the you know in the prostitution which reminded me of that showtime show the borjas. We're that we're that the vatican the vatican guy and the guy. Fuck this sister and then there are other brother syphilis and then how the treatment for civil so they crammed like a metal straw his pee hole and tried to scrape all the stuff out of there and then he ended up going correct hazy of the civilised and then he jumped off a bridge or birthday. I threw him off the bridge so with syphilis like other deadliest needs because like today talk about that. Have there ever. Because i couldn't get committee and divac thing because there was no antibiotics. These are all good questions. I mean there were sexually transmitted diseases in antiquity but We we don't get a lot of literary evidence. Most of the evidence comes from osteo logical evidence which is just say bio archaeology. That is bone some people who have been excavated etc that a lot of this very ephemeral. It's hard to prove except for Except for when you get certain pox that that are left actually On bones or we get traces of it in other ways from from actual archaeological evidence but Yes there absolutely. Whereas cds in ancient world in the borjas are the fifteenth century indefinitely that that is something that ran rampant within renaissance rome with lucrative who may or may not have been the model for botticelli's birth of venus. We don't fully now And an chat. Think you're referring to One of one of her brothers bet but yes that that is a a very good show in. I do think that sexually transmitted diseases. Julius caesar probably had the most because he was very in the cuckolding his opponents By sleeping with their wives. Sale allegedly julius. Caesar traveled to each his political competitors. Would try and sleep with their wives. And.

You were and i can recall. There came a time in any conversation where she would turn it because just venting just being angry just being sad it loses its possibility and so she would remind us to persist. She would remind us to keep going to not give up that. Yes we could spend those moments in sorrow. We could spend the moments in our anger that those are important feelings but then she would always have a part in the conversation where she would say never the less and that was our reminder that the conversation was about to shift which for me often came in some uncomfortable ways because it meant things were about to get messy because it was going to be okay so now what didn't try to tell you not to worry.

But that because of its academic format it might not reach a wide enough audience and so his in his advice to her was when she got back to the states. She should find a playwright who could take her academic book and transform it into a stage play because that would make the the words and play the the book was made up of a lot of monologues of the women. Dead she had been about they were. They were women who had killed her abusive partners and so when she got back to the stage she started asking around. I had just started vanguard had been there for a couple of years and somebody had told her that. I was a playwright and what i found out later which was curious and really kind of shows the kind of mind she had as well as the heart. She had for the women that she got to know. Got to interview and her book about. She spent a year watching. Make covertly asking about me interviewing people about the because she wanted to make sure that i wasn't somebody who was going to take her work and just exploited short make sure she could trust me with the material and evidently i. I had enough allies on the campus. That at the end of that year she approached me and she said that she asked me. If i was interested in a project that she was willing to hand over to me. And i said yes. We walked down to her office and she told me about her research. Didn't really know it at the time and she told me about these women that she got known that she'd had her dissertation on the but was forthcoming. And wanting to know. If i wanted to take that material and turn it into a play and i said yes and i told her right on spot that i was interested and she said you know you should meet the women and so she set up about a week later a trip to see i w which is the prison and we drove out there and one of the things that was funny as i remembered she was up very aggressive driver. And i got out to chino. Thirty five minutes five thirty in the afternoon on a monday and we attended the support group meeting that she went to the monday and the support group actually had a name. It was convicted women against abuse. And there were not only the forty two women but there were a number of other women. Women started to become a attract support group and it was basically a place where women who had experienced any kind of domestic abuse to meet and to provide a a therapeutic environment where they could talk about their stories they could lean on each other they could talk about the progress or lack thereof of their various appeals. And i was the only man in there be fifty women and they welcomed me with open arms. Elizabeth introduced me to all of them told me. This is just a week later. That i was going to be writing a play about all of them. I was already committed. But she made sure that i was committed to committed me to the women who would come characters sense in the play and i think the thing that was most affecting to me that night was i had a. I had an idea of what women's prison might be. Like and what i experienced had nothing to do with this sort of this vision that i had for entering the age of the prison. It's more like a college campus. The i'll the support group was held in a warehouse Sort of warehouse like room and the women were very kind. They were very sensitive. They were very warm. They were mellon collie and they were. Most of them were middle aged. Many of them reminded me of my own mother at the time. And i remember driving home and i did not say a word on the drive back and i emailed elizabeth the next day and i said i'm all in and i started to do research for the play sandy. I know that you had a chance to visit the same place and spend some time there and also you and wore not the only ones which you talk a little bit about your experience and also the experience of students who were invited to engage in this way well. It didn't take very long before. Elizabeth became my mentor and i learned so much from how she did her research how she did her work how she included so many people like warren from theater department from english and i was really impressed that she was working hard to get a family. Violence class that was cross listed between sociology and psychology. She developed it was her baby and i didn't even understand at the beginning that she was mentoring me teaching me to take over that legacy when she retired and teach that class which i did for several years but she wanted it to be cross listed even in the religion and ministries department. She wanted pastors. She believed that everything should be interdisciplinary. That people experience abuse in the work place in the home in society. And when she was part of developing the women's studies minor. She made sure it reflected that interdisciplinary connectedness and that pulled together experts from across the campus. Like warren i don't have an exact date or even an exact year of when i met elizabeth. She was a part of my vanguard experience that i can remember from my early beginnings there. I hesitate to tell the story about to tell because they never want to be disparaging of the place. Where i work. I really like where i work. It's also frustrating. But i really do like where i work and it's also gone through changes. I've been there almost twenty years now. So culturally we have experienced changes. When i came in it was not the greatest experience. I have a very early memory of as dividing up into groups and a large faculty meeting and they're also where members of our board of directors there for some reason. I can't recall but they had break up into the different groups and we were all going to share and someone was going to dictate what happened and i happened to be a group with all men and of course they all look to me. Just assuming i was going to be the note taker because after all i was a woman and there were other frustrating things like that. Our institution is from a specific denomination that. I didn't know anything about before joining and there were a lot of cultural differences that it took me a while to get used to our students by the way we just revamped our first year course around something called community cultural wealth and one of the things. We're teaching them about our. what's called. Dhaka and dhaka are all of the unspoken hidden curriculum. All the rules. That are out there when they come to college especially as first generation students that unless we can help to strip away some of those things. They aren't ever going to feel welcome. I didn't always feel welcome at vanguard. I felt that my own religion my own religious faith didn't necessarily fit there. I felt insecure. I felt this big divide between those people who had tenure. Those of us who did not and it was something that i didn't understand. It was difficult for me. It was a really difficult transition. And what i can recall about elizabeth as well as another former colleague of ours who unfortunately has also passed away. Who is in our library. Mary wilson is just the way that they introduced me to books and.

"Simply not possible. A friend the mine brother. Jail johnson several years ago when preaching in dallas was going to baylor and studying in their graduate school and one of their professors was a big expert on this high criticism and able to distinguish in the bible all kinds of sources from different writers and so brother johnson hiring of hearing this suggests that the test to the. He's an. I'll go back to dallas and i'll get about ten or twelve of my friends and will decide on a theme to write about and we'll have some of them right part of midden some of it right some of them the rest of it and then i'll serve as a doctor and i will we all together and then will bring it back to you and with your skills you determine which was written by one person which was written by somebody else but he wouldn't even begin to accept the challenge like that. He knew he would obviously of course making claims about matthew mark. Luke and john or genesis exodus. You do not have such direct proof that the person is wrong. You know this literary criticism the method that used sometimes get completely out of hand. I remember reading a number of years ago. About an article in reader's digest in which the fellow was serious in proposing that Mark twain really did not write all of the things that he spoke of written but will just a frontman wrong. I don't know how many of you read much longfellow. But he really had a sense of humor me and of coq. Shakespeare didn't write shakespeare. They're not sure who did. But obviously shakespeare and it reached dizziness authorities. Perhaps when someone's ed that homer was not written by homer but by another man same name.

"So now then in the book we start to meet other characters people like bonnie and henry and sam. Can you give us a quick overview of what organizations what i guess is the right word. Those folks represent and why. It's so important for us to understand that in our systems right so when henry comes in he's the first adult that sort of steps up and becomes a a real factor in in kelly's life he is a mini used to represent juvenile's who's now moved up redoes adults primarily. So he gets he gets stuck with this kid's case and the instant he sees him he knows. Oh my gosh because one of the points at bacon the book is that we have these laws called mandatory transfers. Where no matter what the circumstances of kid is if he commits certain offense. It's mandatory that. They be tried as adults and he meets kelly for the first time. And i think there'll be a spoiler alert but my favorite line was when the first time he he meets kelly ladies expecting this really tough rough hard kid that he's seen in the past and he's he looks at him and he says oh my gosh of the the traps but we set a trap for a tiger and we caught a kitten. I loved that too. I did and and this idea that this kid is now going to enter a system as an adult so my background pediatrics and developmental growth the impact of trauma. All those things are a big part of how. I look at our systems and how i try to bring the right people to the table to do prevention and i kept thinking as i'm seeing how kelly is figuring out how to survive getting a job at at a race track and of course because you're in kentucky of course. There's probably lots of opportunity for that. But i kept thinking. Oh my gosh. Some trafficker is going to recruit him because he is so vulnerable and then being placed in an adult system. What would happen if he goes to court. And the judge doesn't have any experience with juveniles. And and all of those what if came up and i kept thinking i would love to use this scenario in one of my classes for a discussion and many times. That as a teaching tool is an amazing gift. And i think you mentioned to me that there are universities that are starting to use this story as a way of teaching. Can you tell me how they're doing that yes. I'm very excited about that. And i'm hoping to to really make an effort to get into to more of those and it's the funny thing was is that i did not approach them. They approached me. And now that understand the how that works. I'm going to be approaching more of them in the future myself but one a social work professor and a university in ohio contacted me and said oh my gosh i just read your book i loved it and i want to use it as mandatory reading with my class the next semester. So she's done to add. And then it scheduled me for zoom meeting with students in april and then meanwhile i also got a from california. A law school contacted may instead one of their professors wanted to use the book for their students. And i was really so concentrating on else. Were social workers in juvenile stat. That it didn't really think as much about the attorneys that really does play a very prominent role all the court processes that he goes through the interactions. You know we talk about emancipation. We talk about judicial release with you know all sorts of things mandatory laws. The as you mentioned the impact of putting kids and adults systems where renault. They're much more likely to be sexually abused and have those sorts of horrible things happen to them so having that sort of character in there and then you know sam being a correctional officer with the adult system. So you had that that person in there to in in bonney who works for also for adult corrections as a sort of like a probation officer type of job so you know we hit a lot of different people and a lot of different universities who teach that sort of thing. I know in canada the much bigger on community colleges and have a lot of to your debris for youth work and so i'm hoping maybe that I know some other folks done some stuff in canada. So i'm hoping to get up there too so bonnie was one of my favorite characters. And of course sam. I loved hearing it from a female perspective as well as from a male leadership perspective and how they saw this young kid but your years of experience in working with these kids you actually were able to integrate some sense of self respect self value empowerment. One of my favorite favorite parts where you demonstrated that is when sam takes him shopping to buy some clothes because the kid doesn't have anything kelly takes over the shopping experience and take sam to goodwill and teaches him. How does shop the way he knows how to shop. And that was so empowering in such a great example of giving kids some option for self efficacy. And i don't wanna use terminology from the field but it's it's really hard not to and those are such important keys and we we diagnostically teach that in the classroom and then you show us what that actually looks like. How did you arrive at that. Did you have an experience with kids in that area. One one of the things that we know is that the kids need choices and kids that are in especially correctional facilities or any other type of placement like that get so few. I do a lot of before kobe. Shut it down. I went into our local juvenile detention center and did art the kids once a week and we tried to always incorporate a ton of decisions purposely. Do you want the read paper or the blue paper. Do you wanna use crayons or do you want to use markers it no matter how. Small the decision with these kids. Because they're told you sit here you stand here you'll get up. The i mean they have so little choices. Interestingly colorado i read is trying to upgraded make their detention centers more trauma informed. And they're painting the walls in more soothing colors. They're taken out. Some of those metal tables and chairs bolted the floor putting in the soft modular furniture but one of the things they did was allow kids to make a choice of color bedding instead of just you know everybody gets green brown site. D want the blue. Do you want the green. Do what the whatever. And they found that the vandalism of the bedding and the kids sale went way down simply because they gave them some choice about their living arrangements. So that's very known juvenile justice. Try to give kids those choices. So it's a much more natural sort of thing for people to choose what.
