This week, we&apos;re rewinding to a conversation with Vivek Sankaran from June 2021.  When faced with a struggling family, bystanders can be quick to call CPS, not realizing that child protective agencies often aren&apos;t equipped to help families and rush to punish them instead. Vivek Sankaren is working to reform this broken system and provide families with helpful, high-quality legal care in the midst of CPS cases. Vivek is a clinical professor of law at the University of Michigan Law School, where he heads a program to educate future lawyers.  In this week’s episode, Jim and Vivek talk about the work Vivek is doing to help create a more supportive and humane child welfare system - a system that actually helps families instead of harming them. The EPPiC Broadcast is hosted by Michael Ramey, president of the Parental Rights Foundation.

Rewind: Before You Call CPS, with Vivek Sankaren

This week, our guest is Melissa Moschella, professor of practice and philosophy at Notre Dame University’s McGrath Center for Church Life. Her areas of expertise include natural law, biomedical ethics, and the family, especially parental rights. She’s also the author of To Whom Do Children Belong: Parental Rights, Civic Education, and Children’s Autonomy. This week, Melissa tells us about a pivotal Supreme Court case about parental rights and education that’s turning 100 next year: Pierce v. Society of Sisters. Melissa argues that, while the Supreme Court has generally held to a narrow interpretation of this case in the subsequent years, a broader interpretation would better safeguard parental rights in public and private educational settings. The EPPiC Broadcast is hosted by Michael Ramey, president of the Parental Rights Foundation.
