Topic: Gaslighting

Today, Sherry discusses the liberal media’s constant gaslighting of the public, especially when it comes to school choice and Education Savings Accounts.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What is meant by “coalition media”? Sherry explains how the media has a very specific goal and they constantly blame the Republicans for every problem our country faces.

The majority of parents, including minorities, have favored Education Savings Accounts for decades. The media knows this. Why do they ignore the parents’ wishes? Do they refuse to ask the right questions?

What is the budget allowed for public education in Texas? Why are our schools still failing with this massive amount of money?

Is it possible for us to reduce our exposure to gaslighting from the media? Sherry says: “Keep asking questions…and get involved.”

Title: Are Wealthy White Men More Likely to Violate Rights of Others?
Topic: Public Education
Discussed by Sherry Sylvester
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)

Are wealthy white men more likely to violate rights of others?

Sherry Sylvester is a Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Texas Public Policy Foundation and former senior adviser to Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick. Today, Sherry discusses a rather disturbing question on a quiz from a professor at the University of Texas.

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?

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: Part 2 of 2 - The Big Lie in Houston – And the Big Truth
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?
