Teaching Topeka | Ep. 7 — Children's books were some students' escape this year. Here's how to think more critically about them.

Can Kelly get House Democrats on the same page as her, or was a Democratic meeting at a Topeka chili parlor a reflection of internal party politics? Is communication clear, or is there room for different interpretations, like Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker's comments?
