Eisenhower's Scientific-Technological Elite Warning, Pediatric Questionnaires
The hosts revisit President Dwight D. Eisenhower's 1961 farewell address, specifically his warning about public policy becoming captive to a "scientific-technological elite." This is linked to a modern report from a parent in Minnesota whose 14-year-old daughter was asked to fill out a private medical questionnaire covering sexual orientation, gender identity, and drug use. The parent also reports a "creepy" request by a physician's assistant for a visual breast exam on the minor.
