A product of the Los Angeles foster care system, Rob Henderson’s life starkly contrasted with the upper-class upbringing that many of his classmates at Yale University had. After enlisting in the military and attending Yale, Rob observed that his privileged peers often championed causes that served as status symbols on campus, while inadvertently disadvantaging those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. Rob goes Inside the ICE House to delve into the “luxury beliefs” held by his classmates, examine their impact on contemporary society, and discuss his new book, “Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family, and Social Class.”
