Lou and Marie dig up the roots of "childhood innocence," tracing the role of children through history and capitalism. Lucille makes Marie read a mommy blog. Tangents include Freud, the moral panic around Critical Race Theory, and&nbsp;the Industrial Revolution. 
This episode will provide valuable background to the next Purity Culture episode, when childhood innocence shapes how we view/hate/[attempt to]control teenagers.&nbsp;
