How the Critical Race Theory Debate Misses the Mark
Matt Welch, Katherine Mangu-Ward, Peter Suderman, and Nick Gillespie tackle a suddenly-pervasive topic: critical race theory. Plus, tune in for the fine details of a debate brewing within the Libertarian Party (L.P.). All that and more on this Monday’s Reason Roundtable.
Discussed in the show:
1:54: Some condolences are in order.
7:46: Breakdown and assessment of why critical race theory dominates headlines.
35:31: Weekly Listener Question: What are your thoughts on the ongoing civil war within the L.P. between pragmatists and the Mises Caucus, following the crackup at the New Hampshire L.P. and the resulting fallout? Do you think a Mises Caucus–led L.P. would bring new voters into the party or just alienate everyone who isn’t an edgelord?
50:21: Media recommendations for the week.
