COVID-19 Learning Pods, Essential Workers and Founding Fathers
The guests discuss the emergence of "learning pods" during the COVID-19 pandemic, where wealthy white parents hired private tutors but excluded the children of "essential workers." This is framed as a modern continuation of class and race segregation. The segment also touches on the "raw truth" of American history, specifically the fact that presidents like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were slaveholders who reneged on promises to those they owned.
