The North Carolina courts are having fun with Moore v. Harper, reversing their prior rulings as their new (Republican) judges took the bench. We’ve previously considered what the Supreme Court might do with the NC Court reconsidering things - what about now that this decision has come down? Would this be “judicial restraint,” and what exactly is that frequently heard meme all about, anyway? We also take note of important dates on the academic calendar and that leads to all sorts of insights on college admissions, the meritocracy, and somehow that takes us back to the Supreme Court again.
Mia and James talk about the recent anti-trans legislation and rules in Missouri, Montana, Kansas, and Nebraska and how you can stop them

Ravi and Rikki start today’s episode with a healthy debate on participation trophies. Are these pointless plastic keepsakes ruining our childrens’ hopes of ever knowing what it truly means to be a winner? Three Republican state senators from North Carolina seem to think so, introducing a bill in the legislature to ban participation trophies in youth sports. Then, the duo sits down with Harvard philosophy professor Ned Hall to talk about the university’s new Council on Academic Freedom – an attempt from more than 100 faculty members to promote free speech and academic freedom on campus. Will this trigger other colleges to promote free expression? Finally, in an Apropos fashion, we end our episode talking about well… the end – death. Even when it’s all said and done, why is dying in the United States so expensive?
