Wednesday Oct 27, 2021
This episode is the Season Finale of Season 2! Join Kimberly and Angela to hear how the witch trials ended, who was pardoned and exonerated, and who apologized for their involvement with the trials.
How some current legal rights, such as the right to counsel, to confront your accusers, and to be declared innocent until proven guilty grew out of some of the injustices of the witch trials.
At long last, more current witch hunts are discussed - McCarthyism, abuses in the immigration system, the war on women, and how the 45th President flipped the gender rolls typically seen in witch hunts. What we all can do to guard against more witch hunts occurring is examined.
