Claiming Moral Values, Trump Creates “Religious Freedom” Division

The Trump administration has decided to create a new division under the Department of Health and Human Services to protect the so-called religious freedoms of health workers claiming that their beliefs prevent them from delivering healthcare in certain cases. We’ll turn to Rob Boston of the group Americans United for Separation of Church and State for what it means. Then, we’ll continue our coverage of the Into Action pop-up show in Los Angeles with a conversation about diversity in media. My guests will be Beatriz Acevedo and Lucy Flores of the media outlet Mit. Finally, author Linda Gordon joins us to discuss her new, and very timely book, The Second Coming of the KKK: The Ku Klux Klan of the 1920s and the American Political Tradition.

Hosted by Sonali Kolhatkar.
