In a society where free speech is increasingly under attack, one woman's courageous stand against a hostile crowd has sparked a national conversation. This episode delves into the world of women's sports, where a simple t-shirt can be seen as a provocative statement. Join us as we explore the intersection of free speech, feminism, and the importance of standing up for what's right.

The story begins with a group of friends who wore "Refuse to Pretend" shirts to a WNBA game, only to be met with a vicious reaction from the crowd. But this isn't just about a few angry fans - it's about a broader cultural shift that's eroding our fundamental rights. We'll talk to Jennifer Sey who's been at the forefront of this movement, sharing her experiences and insights on the importance of standing up for what's right, even in the face of overwhelming opposition.

From the Camas High School girls who walked off the cross-country course to the WNBA players who knelt during the national anthem, we'll examine the ways in which our society is grappling with issues of identity, free speech, and the limits of tolerance. We'll also explore the consequences of a culture that's increasingly intolerant of dissenting voices.

Plus HALLOWEEN! Why is trick-or-treating fading?
