Have you heard someone on your school board, or at the state dept. of education, or in your state legislature, say "I don't really know what Critical Race Theory is...I'm just now hearing about it for the first time?"

First, let me say this isn't directed at any individual or group, and was inspired by many different things I've seen and read over the past few weeks, all of which were from people I know are working hard to fight the damaging "woke" ideology harming our kids, and our civilization as a whole.
So please take this as it's intended: loving. push-back against a natural tendency to "go tribal." I have to fight it myself, but I can tell you it's worth it! There is natural strength in independence, and being independent is NOT being "open-minded" in the sense that you have no core principles. KEEP your principles close at hand, always! Stand up for them, 100%, fearlessly! Go ahead and have the backs of people who do, just be careful you're standing on principle, not playing a team sport. People with ideas you can use, or points you need to shore up your arguments, won't necessarily come from places you expect to find them!
Question premises, always, even your own. :-)

Parents: How do you feel about teachers working so hard to undermine your parental right to teach your kids your values, they'd solicit criminal behavior, or conspire to prevent you from stopping them?
You may not think this is happening in your district, but I'm guessing the parents in Loudon Cty, VA, and Wake County, NC didn't think so either.
My guess is, these districts are far from unique, and you should probably operate on the assumption this is already happening where you live, or will soon be if you don't get out ahead. Better steel yourself to make it very clear to your school board, school administrators, and teachers, if they're going to treat you like the enemy, they're gonna get a fight.

You've heard of "Culturally Relevant Teaching," or perhaps "Culturally Responsive Teaching?" They're two slightly different things, by the way, and I'll go over the definitions of both here, but I focus mostly on the issue of "relevance," because, as usual, I have questions....lots and lots of questions....

I am going to start highlighting voices of reason in the fight for school choice and education reform. Erika has earned the distinction of being first for two reasons:
1. I just discovered her incredible content today
2. She was the inspiration for the series
There are others I'll be adding as I find them. I could add hundreds of amazing content producers, but I'm going to stick to those whose work complements my own by providing a second opinion backing up what's said here, further details about the same issues, or valuable new insights about issues I've covered.
Thank you Erika for your voice and dedication to all our kids! This mom, this American, thanks you!

This is a clip from the interview I did with Freddie today. He had some great points about the self-esteem/validation movement, and they're well worth thinking and talking about, especially in view of what we think we're teaching our kids!

I'm gonna need some definitions here, starting with "WHITENESS." What the hell is it exactly? Answer: No one knows for sure; it's intentionally vague so the beneficiaries of the fear and guilt the word inspires can keep moving the goal posts so you can never escape its stain.
What can you do about it? Reject it outright, that's what, especially coming from your child's school. You shouldn't want anyone so confused (or manipulative) anywhere near your children.
Seen in it's most disturbing light, the language covered in this video is nothing less than genocidal. This is why we must reject it. Don't even TRY to understand it.You're not meant to anyway.

Given the way teachers and their unions have been fighting to keep schools closed, extorting taxpayers and making political demands in the process, I think people should think twice before celebrating the reopening of some school districts today.
This video challenges you to answer the following question: what is the purpose of formal schooling, and are schools today -- even opened for in-person "instruction" --serving that purpose, your purpose, or if you prefer, our purpose as a free and pluralistic society, OR are they serving the purpose of a Marxist, collectivist pseudo-reality?

School is all about mixed messages. I could make at least a dozen videos about the different versions of them, and within each, there are, in-turn, dozens of specific message examples.
In this video, I define what a mixed message is, or rather the most common forms it takes, and go through three of the most common mixed messages delivered in K12 schools by teachers today. Your child has no choice but to receive these messages if they're there, but you can help them RESPOND to them in a way that wards off, or eliminates confusion and, if you're lucky, might even awaken a well-meaning, but thoughtless teacher to the havoc they're wreaking.
