Teens debate segregation in the cafeteria, government authority, why foreign countries hate America, and whether it’s better to change our system from inside or outside. Teens confront marketers about the link between democracy and capitalism - how choices get shaped as companies try to “capture” the youth market. And inner-city American high school students talk with students in Iraq. This live program was hosted by Comedy Central’s Mo Rocca.

This hour long program explores the legacy of anti-Semitism in Christian choral music. The birth, death and resurrection of Jesus have inspired some of the most sublime sacred music ever composed. But some works, like the St. John and St. Matthew Passions of Johan Sebastian Bach contain virulently anti-Semitic language which has its roots in the new testament.
