Topic: Best Friends

Milo Yiannopoulos was harassed and called "Nazi scum" by a group of activists, including journalists from BuzzFeed and Salon, while waiting for a table at a New York restaurant. This is contrasted with a story from a Massachusetts preschool where a four-year-old was told she could not use the term "best friend" because it might lead to the formation of cliques. The hosts highlight the irony of enforcing linguistic sensitivity in children while adults engage in public vitriol.

A New York Times report highlights a movement in some schools, such as the Mary Institute in St. Louis, to discourage children from having "best friends." Educators argue that exclusive friendships prevent kids from integrating into larger groups. The hosts view this as a push toward collectivism and an attack on individualism, questioning why schools are interfering in children's personal social structures.
