"Does representation still matter?" – RCC Today ft. Tom Campbell

How much does representation still matter today? In a country that’s professed equality for all but has an unfortunate history of bias and preference for specific people groups, must it remain a priority, in an effort to create a more just future, to maintain laws that ensure the equal treatment and representation of all people? Is it even possible for laws to achieve those outcomes considering the complexity of people groups today and the existential varieties we now identify with? In a world like we live in today, did a law like affirmative action still matter? And now that’s it’s been struck down, what’s the best way forward now? That’s the conversation we had with friend, retired attorney and now law professor, Tom Campbell. It was great having Tom because he’s taught constitutional law, so his perspective is thoughtful, insightful and always helpful to understand where every side of an argument may have merit. Affirmative Action was effectively struck down this past summer in landmark cases brought against Harvard and the University of North Carolina. With the kind of historic precedent a ruling like this sets, what steps do we take now to see more just future on earth as it is in heaven? This is the conversation we have today in this episode of the Unsilent Church podcast. Enjoy!
