b"
According to conservative commentator Bethany Mandel, \\u201cthe Left is waging an all-out battle on the American family, particularly the youngest members. If they can make our children miserable, lead them to question every building block of society, and rebuild their entire concept of reality, then the Left and their woke indoctrinators will consider that a victory.\\u201d She firmly believes \\u201cOur children\\u2019s lives and the survival of our families are at stake.\\u201d
In this honest conversation, Dr. Shermer disagrees with some of Mandel's conclusions, agrees with others, and pushes back against certain aspects of her worldview.
Shermer and Mandel discuss: \\u2022 anecdotes vs. data about children and politics \\u2022 What is a woman? What is a man? \\u2022 sex and gender \\u2022 woke medicine \\u2022 transgender affirming care \\u2022 libraries and publishers of children\\u2019s books \\u2022 abortion: pro-Choice or pro-Life? \\u2022 support for children: government or private?
