Be warned. This is an extreme rant episode.

This week, Mindy brings on a friend/special guest Ashley to discuss a recent event that happened in their school community. The situation involves an angry parent who decided to make a post on Nextdoor (basically neighborhood Twitter) claiming that the school’s curriculum for International Women’s Day is racist to white children because of its focus on intersectional feminism.
