Best of the Program | 11/29/19: James T. Harris is on the program discussing child development, figures of authority, and above all, respect. The impeachment hearings will go on, but nothing of substance will come of them.

James recounts the students he taught who sought to find solutions to poverty in inner cities. Their motives were pure, but their reasoning was fundamentally flawed.
