A 2013 MSNBC clip featuring Melissa Harris-Perry is played, in which she argues that society must move past the "private notion" that children belong to their parents and instead recognize they belong to the community. The hosts link this philosophy to the current Virginia gubernatorial race and the debate over whether parents should have a say in school curricula.
A 2019 proposal by Seattle Public Schools to integrate social justice into math curriculum is discussed, including the claim that Western culture has "appropriated" math. The segment features a critique of educators who argue that math is subjective or racist. The hosts argue that mathematics is actually the fairest possible field for disadvantaged students because it relies on objective right and wrong answers rather than subjective grading.
