12 - Gen Z is Going to be Alright Not My Generation

In this episode, Emily and James pour through the results of survey data collected by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) and find some interesting results about Gen Z. For example, a slight majority of "Gen Z women are substantially more liberal than Gen Z men," there is more religious diversity among Gen Z, Americans don't apparently think Gen Z is overly lazy, and Gen Z adults have more negative emotions than older generations.
In addition, we discuss the Israel-Hamas conflict, the war in Ukraine, and Tucker Carlson's Putin/Russian interview/tour (propaganda tour?), and interesting elections coming up internationally. We also discuss the recent death of a non-binary student in Owasso, Oklahoma and the need for transparency from both school officials and law enforcement, as well as a request for restraint from the public on speculation about this case.
