Forgotten America


Dec 7, 2021

Today Garrett is joined on the Forgotten America podcast by Naomi Schaefer Riley, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute focusing on issues regarding child welfare as well as a senior fellow at the Independent Women’s Forum. She joins us to discuss her new book, No Way to Treat A Child: How the Foster Care System, Family Courts, and Racial Activists Are Wrecking Young Lives. She discusses the lack of a conservative presence in the conversation surrounding foster care policy, why the system is so broken, and her recommendations for how conservatives can engage in ways that are beneficial to children.



Purchase the book, No Way to Treat a Child, on Amazon.
