    With 54% of American adults having a reading level below the 6th grade, should we be concerned that homeschooling numbers are on the rise?

    Join Courtney and Jennifer as they discuss the novel, "Push" by Sapphire, which tells the story of 16-year-old illiterate Claireece "Precious" Jones, whose battle with poverty, abuse, and systemic neglect reveals the nefarious intent of right-wing extremist politicians to defund the public education system, make reproductive care illegal, and keep poverty a reality. After all, education = empowerment and we wouldn't want that, would we?

    Also, Mariah Carey = GOAT and John McEntee, former director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office in the Trump administration, has a small penis...probably. This episode is dedicated to Amber Thurman and the dozens of lives that could have been spared if not for the dangerous and extreme abortion bans.
