Texas Wants More Bible, America Wants Fewer Kids
About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of adding Bible passages to public school standards in Texas and the cultural shifts surrounding family size and female representation in media.
Texas is adding Bible passages to its public school reading standards, continuing the endless debate over the Bible in schools. Esau, Kaitlyn, and Mike discuss why Bible literacy matters for understanding American history and why teaching the Bible while downplaying race creates a distorted picture of the country. Then, they turn to the rise of one-child families and what may be lost when fewer children grow up with siblings. Plus, why do female-led superhero movies keep struggling, and what does Supergirl reveal about how we talk about women, heroes, and doing good? 0:00 - Theme Song 0:22 - Cohost of the Cookout 15:00 - Increase in Single Children 24:02 - Sponsor - Brooklyn Bedding - Use Code "ESAU" on checkout to get 30% sitewide for the July 4th sale—limited time offer, not available anywhere else!
