As the parent of three grown children, I can say with certainty they have asked me hundreds of questions over the years on many different topics.

Knowing that, you might question my interest in the recent Hasan Minhaj controversy. If the name is unfamiliar Minhaj is a Muslim Indian American comedian. He’s known for telling stories that have social justice overtones and point to his own experiences with racism.

In his 2022 Netflix special, “The King’s Jester,” Minhaj told a story about opening a letter with his wife that had white powder in it. The powder spilled on their young daughter, who they rushed to the hospital, fearful it was anthrax. It was not — nor was the story true. Zinoman properly concluded, “This genre of fiction is a shortcut to sympathy, an unearned tug at the heartstrings. It’s not a capital crime, but it’s an unnecessary and risky one. Treating trust carelessly has steep costs.”

The findings are particularly worrisome when you consider that today’s high school students are tomorrow’s voters.
