Students at the University of Texas choose to stand with the brutal Palestinian
terrorists. Do students not know the crimes against humanity committed by the
terrorists? Are the students ignoring the facts?
What is DEI – “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion”? Are students really
taught that white males are oppressors and that the Pilgrims didn’t come to
America for religious freedom, but instead came to conquer the natives? Is DEI
clearly Marxist ideology?

Title: Are Wealthy White Men More Likely to Violate Rights of Others?
Topic: Public Education
Discussed by Sherry Sylvester

Questions/Issues Discussed:
Why did University of Texas Psychology Professor Bradbury ask the question:
“Which sociodemographic group is most likely to repeatedly violate the rights of
others in a pattern of behavior that includes violence, deceit,
irresponsibility, and a lack of remorse?"
What is the purpose and mission of National Association of Diversity Officers on
Texas higher education campuses?
Are wealthy white men the most likely sociodemographic group that violate the
rights of others? Are wealthy white men, more than others, violating the rights
of others in their pattern of behavior that includes violence, deceit,
irresponsibility, and a lack of remorse? Sherry doesn’t believe there is any
sociodemographic group that does this. Individual people do this, but not an
entire sociodemographic group.
University of Texas Psychology Professor Bradbury has been celebrated as one of
the university’s most outstanding teachers. In fact, she was once the recipient
of the Regents highest teaching honor – a $25,000 cash prize. How did this
happen?
In her class syllabus, Professor Bradbury states: “…I am committed to creating a
learning environment that is safe and supportive of the identities and
perspectives of all marginalized and minoritized people.” What does this mean?
Sherry discusses DEI: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
Is this a rare occurrence or is it too commonplace throughout the education
system across Texas and America?

Title: Socialism at Plymouth Rock: Getting the Thanksgiving Story Straight
Topic: Communist Pilgrims
Discussed by Sherry Sylvester
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)
Sherry Sylvester is a political communications and public policy
expert who has directed multi-million-dollar statewide campaigns in New York,
New Jersey, and Texas. She is currently a Distinguished Fellow at the Texas
Public Policy Foundation. Today, Sherry discusses the lessons we
can learn from the Pilgrims’ failed attempt at Socialism and why we must tell
future generations all the facts about our history.
Click
here for more on this topic from Sherry Sylvester.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Many people do not know that the Pilgrims actually implemented Socialism in
their new colony in America. What was the result of their Socialist experiment?
Sherry explains that the Pilgrims called it “collectivism”, sharing
everything they had with each other. However, that didn’t work out so well for
them and they went in a different direction – basically capitalism.
Are school children taught the facts about the Pilgrims and Socialism? Did the
Indians really share a meal with the Pilgrims (Thanksgiving)? Sherry shares some
great historical information! Listen close!
Why has the American culture and society flourished so well for nearly 250
years? Sherry shares another great story…
Why do 65% of Democrats have a positive view of Socialism today?
Why is it important to teach the younger generations all the facts about our
history – warts and all? Sherry says: “People need to understand that these
are the struggles – these are the things that happened – to create this
country.”

Title: Red McCombs Should Demand His Money Back
Topic: Higher Education
Discussed by Sherry Sylvester
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)

and Red McCombs is one of the best expressions of everything it means to be a
Texan.
Sherry Sylvester is a political communications and public policy expert, as well
as a Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Texas Public Policy Foundation. Today
she discusses how this brilliant and generous businessman, Red McCombs, has

Questions/Issues Discussed:
Who is Red McCombs?
Red McCombs and John Wayne were good friends. Why did Red convince John to hold
the premiere of the movie, “The Alamo”, in San Antonio? This story is pretty
funny – and also shows how smart Red McCombs is!
Has Red McCombs given hundreds of millions of dollars to charities in Texas?
Red McCombs gave $50 million to establish the School of Business at the
University of Texas? Why should Red immediately demand his money back? Sherry
reveals that UT had a “trigger warning” on the syllabus, informing students that
they would be discussing capitalism and profit in the class and some students
may find the topics “traumatic”. But there’s more!! Listen close as Sherry
reveals all the absurd topics the students will study.

called “The Big Lie”. What was the focus of the series?
Has election politics in Texas been rooted in racism since reconstruction led by
“white Republican associations”?

Topic: Houston Chronicle All Wrong
Discussed by Sherry Sylvester
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)
Questions/Issues Discussed:
What’s the real story behind the rejection of mail-in ballots? Do Texans believe
that mail-in ballots are totally fine BUT should have the identification of the
voter double-checked?
Do many people still rely on the news as reported in the top five daily
newspapers across Texas, including the Houston Chronicle? Sherry
reveals some shocking information…
How can Conservatives continue to win when more and more people vote for
candidates (i.e Democrats) who are willingly to give them a hand-out? Rush once
said: “How do you compete against Santa Clause?”
Sherry discusses how the Houston Chronicle series claimed that “Texas
could lose more than $31 Billion in economic activity and 223,000 jobs by 2025”
if Texas passes voter integrity laws. Fact: voter integrity passed, and we have
not lost economic gains nor lost jobs. Houston Chronicle was completely wrong.

Title: Part 3 of 3 - Texas Hispanics Reject Democrats Left-Wing Woke Agenda
Topic: Hispanic Voters
Discussed by Sherry Sylvester
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Are many Hispanics beginning to understand the anti-faith, anti-family,
anti-pre-born ideologies of the Democrat Party? Sherry believes that as the
Democrats get more and more ridiculous and intolerant, more and more Hispanics
will turn their backs and walk away.
The majority of African Americans are church-going people whose core values
align more with the Right than the Left. So, why do these issues not resonant
with African Americans? Why don’t more vote on the Republican ticket? Sherry
says: “It’s a hard culture to change.”
Why should Republican politicians and candidates continue to reach out to
minorities with Faith, Family, and Freedom values?
