<p>Welcome to another week of Wear We Are with Michael &amp; Melissa Wear! In this week&#39;s episode, we start off walking parents through tragedies like the Nashville school shooting and address any and all listeners who have kids who want to become politically engaged, whether it&#39;s through protesting, volunteering, writing to their elected officials, and more. </p> <p>Next, we cover the <a href="https://patrickruffini.substack.com/p/why-this-extremely-viral-poll-result" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">viral WSJ-NORC poll</a> that came out this past week. The poll shows that American values of religion, community involvement, and having children have plummeted since 2019. We parse through the meaning of a poll like this.</p> <p>Finally, based on a reader question this past week, we try to explain the fight between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Disney World. It&#39;s certainly interesting!</p> <p>What do you think? We&#39;d love to know your thoughts!</p> <p>As always, you can become a subscriber and support our work over at Substack.
