Canceling people in power is all the rage right now, but it’s been part of our culture for as long as there’s been culture. In this episode, we share the story of how Eartha Kitt was canceled by the President of the United States, and we explain why her experience was totally different from calls for Larry McDougal to step down as president of the State Bar of Texas.
