Actions versus Values

Are our actions truly aligned with the values we claim to hold? It's common to consider ourselves good people, supporting noble causes and decrying bigotry. However, this episode prompts reflection on our actual behavior compared to these espoused values. Using Caitlin Flanagan's critique of elite private schools as a reference point, the episode challenges parents, particularly those in higher income brackets, to assess their choices. From school selection to advocating for social change, the podcast underscores the importance of aligning actions with professed beliefs as a model for children.
