Is Critical Race Theory really a source of incivility? And, why did it become the center of a firestorm during this year's legislative session?

Congressman Mike Simpson is the top Republican on the House Energy and Water Appropriations subcommittee. This subcommittee has jurisdiction over the Power Marketing Administrations, including the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). BPA is increasingly strained by the $600 million spent annually for fish costs and increased water discharges to ensure salmon viability. Now, BPA’s power rates are creeping up and becoming uncompetitive. Fast forward three years, and Congressman Simpson has developed a potential solution that required unwinding the complicated fabric of the economic and societal benefits of the four Lower Snake River dams.
Civility is in increasingly short supply in our political discourse, and this trend started at the national level. In this episode, we are joined by National Institute for Civil Discourse NextGen Executive Director, Brent Hill, and NextGen Facilitator Denise Driehaus to discuss developments nationally to inspire civility in our politics. Both are public servants deeply concerned about the current direction of our discourse.
