Ep 8. Trump vs Clintons, Religious Schools; We Were Feminists Once
- May 27, 2016
On this week's episode of To the Contrary, the panel discusses the ongoing feud between Donald Trump and the Clinton family. With the election now just a few short weeks away, tensions are at an all-time high, and the panel explores the various factors that are driving this political situation. From the candidates' respective histories to their current policies and rhetoric, the panel examines what's at stake for the country and why we're seeing such a heated battle between the two camps.
In addition to the political discussion, the show also addresses the issue of religious schools. With more and more states passing laws allowing taxpayer dollars to be used to fund private, religious institutions, the panel looks at the implications of this policy shift. Is it a violation of the separation of church and state? Or is it an important step in expanding educational options for families? The panel considers the various arguments for and against these policies and explores the potential outcomes of this trend.
Finally, the show takes a look at the feminist movement and its impact on popular culture. From Beyonce's calls for gender equality to the rise of female superheroes in movies and TV shows, the show examines how the feminist movement has impacted entertainment and how it's being reflected in pop culture. Can these mainstream representations of feminism effect real social change, or are they just symptoms of a larger problem? The panel dives into this topic and explores what it means to be a feminist in the 21st century.
All of these issues are discussed with the show's signature, nuanced perspective, as the panelists delve into the complexities and nuances of each topic. With a mix of different voices from across the political spectrum, the show offers a balanced and insightful view of the issues that matter most to women today. Whether you're a seasoned political watcher or just someone who's interested in learning about the issues that impact women, To the Contrary is the show for you.
