question again, and instead we can say, "How can we create conditions where

00:00:16

victims can speak up and be believed?" Now, if you were homeschooled like me,

00:00:20

my parents oh my god, if I even said like, "Hey, I didn't love being homeschooled. Like,

00:00:28

some of those textbooks were really not great. Like, they would respond horribly." Right? Because their entire

00:00:36

worldview and ideology is connected to that.
