Cultural Update: Armed Teachers; Gen Z's Views on Israel; AI + CRISPR; Listener Questions

This week, Sean and Scott discuss:

  • Tennessee Legislation on Armed Teachers: The controversial decision by Tennessee lawmakers allowing teachers to carry concealed handguns in schools, prompted by a tragic school shooting. 
  • Generational Views on Israel: A  poll suggests that nearly half of Gen Z views Israel's actions against Hamas as unjust due to its power, painting it as the oppressor. 
  • Innovations in Gene Editing: The integration of generative AI with CRISPR technology, with the potential to revolutionize medical treatments by rapidly developing tailored therapies.
  • Listener Questions: The intersection of faith and public policy, the distinction between gender and sex, and the personal struggle of witnessing to non-believing family members.
