Them Before Us #061 | Pro-Child Politics Author Delano Squires | The Lies About "Race" Hurting Kids

In this powerful conversation, Delano Squires, Heritage Foundation fellow and author of the Pro-Child Politics chapter on race, joins Jenn to unpack the lies about race that are hurting children in America today.Delano exposes how media narratives, activist agendas, and race-essentialist policies twist the truth and distract us from what really matters: building strong families and safe communities for all kids, regardless of skin color.He challenges the belief that racial disparities always equal racism and warns against the seductive but destructive push for “good” discrimination as a fix. Instead, Delano offers a child-centric lens grounded in truth, dignity, and equal justice. He calls us back to biblical principles, consistent standards, and the moral courage to speak honestly, even when it’s unpopular.This episode isn’t just a critique, it’s a clear call to love children more than politics and to fight for policies that truly protect and empower the next generation.You can also hear from Delano on TBU episode #038 and see his work on X, @DelanoSquires, at The Blaze https://www.theblaze.com/u/delano_squires, and at Heritage Foundation.
