Social issues are once more coming to the fore of political debate as the midterm elections close in, with parents becoming increasingly concerned about transgender ideology being pushed in schools, according to Matthew Peterson, founder of digital network platform New Founding.
Critical race theory (CRT) and transgender laws aimed at minors are social issues that politicians usually stay away from, Peterson said in an interview with NTD. The establishment wisdom on the political right is to talk about “bread and butter issues” and avoid such social issues as they are seen as “yucky stuff,” he said.
Steve Lance is the host of Capitol Report, a political news show based in Washington aimed at providing a direct channel to the voices and people who shape policy in America. Capitol Report features all of the political news of the day with expert interviews and analysis.
