Avoiding the prop wash of politics by embracing values
In the wake of tragedy, we must avoid the prop wash of politics. Our nation is mourning and reeling after multiple acts of mass violence from the Capitol Siege in January to the Boulder Colorado grocery store shooting Monday. Lawmakers are scrambling to propose changes to gun legislation and patting their backs at doing something (anything) about the uptick of violence. But, are we missing the real conversation, the real opportunity, here? Yesterday Counselor Jenny Howe joined the show to guide listeners on how to talk to their kids about violence but also pointed out how a wider conversation addressing values needs to happen. ‘Inside Sources with Boyd Matheson,’ Opinion Editor at Deseret News, takes you inside the latest political news and current events, providing higher ground for today's discussions.
