About this episode
When it comes to the future of America's youth, Republican presidential candidates are less focused on the academics and more on the culture. Candidates are campaigning on changing the way race & sexuality are taught in schools, and what should be left to parents.

This episode was edited by Erica Morrison. It was produced by Jeongyoon Han and Casey Morell. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
