CTU Threatens a Strike & Roe at the Supreme Court

January 04, 2022 • Raef Chenery • Season 3 • Episode 1

As season 3 opens up we dig into two issues. First Chicago Teacher's Union is asking for classes to be shut down in Chicago due to the fast spreading Omicron variant. And second, we consider last month's Dobbs case that had oral arguments before the Supreme Court last month. We consider its significance for the moral landscape of America. [Please Note: The second section on Dobbs vs. Jackson was recorded shortly after the Oral Arguments before the Supreme Court at the end of 2021, which is why I say "last week" when referencing those opening arguments]
