Spoken word is engaging thousands of young people across the country in expressing themselves and developing leadership skills. One of the nation's top rated literary arts programs is the nonprofit organization Urban Word NYC, which has ranked among the top 5 slam poetry teams in the nation for each of the past 11 years. Guests include Urban Word's chief operating officer Adam Falkner, and Willy Luperon, a young poet and program alum who is currently serving as the organization's media coordinator.

"Coddling of the American Mind" is the title of an article in the recent Atlantic Magazine by attorney Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt. It examines a particular movement arising that's been described as undirected and driven largely by students that essentially scrubs campuses clean of words, ideas, and subjects that might cause discomfort or give offense. Law and Disorder hosts also take a look at the legal cases being brought by students.
