REC Podcast por Ellen Fields, Cailen Graham, and Ramsey Greene
Notas del episodio
This week on the REC podcast, Ramsey, Ellen, and Cailen will explore Shakespeare's 1604 play Measure for Measure, wherein the cloistered novice Isabella faces a choice between honoring her eternal commitment to God and standing by her brother in the temporal liminality of their lives on Earth. Recently, Texas representative Candy Noble introduced a bill that mandates the display of the 10 Commandments in Texas public school classrooms. In a heated floor debate, Texas representative, pastor, and former educator James Talarico argues against this bill, creating a dynamic similar to that of Isabella's dilemma.
