Title: The NEA Hates Children, America, and Commonsense
Topic: Public Education
Discussed by Linda Harvey
with Mission: America (www.MissionAmerica.com)
Part 1 of 2
“The philosophy of the classroom in one generation becomes the philosophy of government in the next.”
(Quote attributed to Abraham Lincoln)
Linda Harvey, President of Mission:America, is passionate about exposing lies and harmful teaching in the American education system. Today, she exposes how the
National Education Association, the largest teacher’s union in America, hates children, America, and commonsense.
Click

Questions/Issues Discussed:
Does the Democrat Party do the bidding of the National Education Association (NEA)?
How long has the NEA impacted the education system in America? Linda discusses how they have become increasingly more progressive over the past five decades, calling them “activists” not educators.
During this year’s annual meeting of the NEA, was an amendment adopted stating: “Forced motherhood is female enslavement”?
Has the NEA doubled-down on pushing LGBTQ agendas and ideology? Linda reveals that the
NEA is urging their members to lobby their state legislators to stop passing parental rights in education laws and laws which ban “transgender” boys from competing on female sports teams.
Does the NEA refer to any opposition to the LGBTQ agenda as hate speech/hate actions?
To confront and counter religious expression in public schools, has the NEA designed toolkits for educators to encourage First Amendment discrimination? Linda says: “They are frantically worried about aggressive moves to push certain religious viewpoints into public schools.” This is not referring to Islam or other world religions; they are specifically “worried” about Christianity.

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?

Topic: Public Education
Discussed by Mandy Drogin

Last year, the President of the Texas State Teachers Association, Ovidia Molina, called parents “extremists”
for expressing concerns about changes to curriculum that would include radical

Who referred to Texas parents as nothing more than drug addicts and alcoholics who don’t know what’s best for their own child?
Did a Pflugerville ISD board member disparage Hispanic and Black parents’ ability to make informed decisions? Mandy reveals that this person blamed “marketing” for parents pulling their children from public school. Marketing! How absurd!

Title: Should Texas Modernize its K-12 Student Transfer Law?
Topic: Public Education
Discussed by Emily Sass
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)
Should Texas be doing more to provide families with educational opportunities across district lines?
Emily Sass the Policy Director for the Texas Public Policy Foundation’s Center for Innovation in Education. Today, Emily discusses how a handful of common-sense reforms would remove key barriers for parents seeking alternative education opportunities for their children.
Click
here to read more on this topic from Emily Sass.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Do school district boundaries restrict educational opportunities for Texas students?
Are too many school districts in Texas poor and/or low-performing? Emily reveals that nearly 500,000 Texas children currently attend a public school that is labeled “failing”.
How many Texas students attend a public school outside of their district?
How many Texas grade-school students are not performing on grade level in reading and math? Emily reveals that approximately 40% fall under this category.
Would many parents take advantage of moving their child to a higher performing school district if given the chance?
Could the Texas Legislature increase education opportunities with simple reforms to modernize the student-transfer law? Emily discusses three simple ways the Texas Legislature can help students receive the best possible education.
She also reveals the outlandish costs some school districts require parents to pay to send their kids to a different district - even though the school district already receives funding from the state.
Do school districts fight to keep the money when it’s transferred to another district?
Should school districts post their open-enrollment policies online?
Other states have already modernized their school district transfer policies. Are the students improving?
SHORT ANSWER: Yes!

Title: Bureaucrats vs Congress: Who Will Win?
Topic: Public Education
Discussed by Joe Luppino-Esposito
with Pacific Legal Foundation (www.PacificLegal.org)
Over three decades, two Congresses passed bills with bipartisan
support to financially support the growth of charter schools throughout the
country. However, an alternative to standard public education for
failing low-income and disadvantaged children is still desperately needed.
Joe Luppino-Esposito is the Deputy Legal Policy Director for the Pacific
Legal Foundation. Today, Joe discusses why the Department of Education is
refusing to spend the money it has already been given on the Federal Charter
Schools Program.

Pacific Legal Foundation.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Why are federal bureaucrats with the Department of Education
sandbagging Congress? Joe explains that the DOE simply does not want to
spend money on charter schools, which is harmful to the students who need help
the most.
What qualifies/disqualifies a school from being a “charter school”?
Why is Congress sitting on their hands while the Biden Administration destroys a
successful grant program for disadvantaged children and families? Joe explains
that a few Congress members have seen the problem and are working to actively
continue the Charter Schools Program.
Surprisingly, the Charter Schools Program thrived under Presidents
Clinton and Obama. Why are the Democrats suddenly so against it and stopping the
development of new charter schools across the country?
Can the DOE federal bureaucrats be fired for refusing to follow the
law?
Who must win this battle: Congress or the federal bureaucrats? Joe explains how
this is a prime example of our separation of powers practice in America.
Congress needs to put their foot down and say “Do this. No exceptions.”

Part 1 of 2
The Texas Association of School Boards recently added a ninth

systemic racism; and providing opportunity for all.”
[emphasis added]

Topic: Public Education
Discussed by James Quintero
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)
Questions/Issues Discussed:
The Houston Chronicle recently reported that 48 of the 276 Houston ISD
schools were graded a D or F! Why isn’t the TASB focused on these failing
schools and the students that are forced to attend them? James explains that
within those 48 schools, 95% of the students are economically disadvantaged and
96% are students of color. Is this a clear example of Systemic Racism?
The TASB’s FOURTH Statement of Beliefs reads: “We believe increased student
academic achievement must be a top priority in Texas.” Do they really
believe this? Or are they simply trying to push their own twisted agenda? Why
are they not helping these failing schools?
Is the TASB part of the problem?

Title: Solve Systemic Racism with School Choice
Topic: Public Education
Discussed by James Quintero
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)
Part 1 of 2
The Texas Association of School Boards recently added a ninth
Statement of Belief:
“We believe in and are committed to supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion;
promoting dignity and mutual respect; striving to eradicate
systemic racism; and providing opportunity for all.”
[emphasis added]
READ. THAT. AGAIN.
James Quintero is the Policy Director for the Texas Public Policy
Foundation’s Government for the People Campaign. Today, he discusses this
Systemic Racism and other issues facing public schools in Texas.
Click
here to read more on this issue from James Quintero.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
What is Systemic Racism? Why is the Left so focused on Systemic
Racism in public schools across the nation, even here in Texas? James
discusses the TASB’s original purpose and goal and how they have strayed since
the 1940’s.
Is the TASB tax-payer funded?
Is Systemic Racism rampant in public schools across Texas?
Is the TASB part of the problem?

Title: Part 2 of 2 - Solve Systemic Racism with School Choice
Topic: Public Education
Discussed by James Quintero
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)
Questions/Issues Discussed:
The Houston Chronicle recently reported that 48 of the 276 Houston ISD
schools were graded a D or F! Why isn’t the TASB focused on these failing
schools and the students that are forced to attend them? James explains that
within those 48 schools, 95% of the students are economically disadvantaged and
96% are students of color. Is this a clear example of Systemic Racism?
The TASB’s FOURTH Statement of Beliefs reads: “We believe increased student
academic achievement must be a top priority in Texas.” Do they really
believe this? Or are they simply trying to push their own twisted agenda? Why
are they not helping these failing schools?
Is the TASB part of the problem?

Title: Why Christians Must Engage in Public Schools
Topic: Public Education
Discussed by Meg Kilgannon
with Family Research Council (www.FRC.org)
Part 1 of 3
Kids are back at school and the influence of CRT, LGBT ideology, and radical sex-ed are more pervasive than ever. How many students question the false ideologies? Do they even know the truth? What should parents look for? How should parents engage?
Meg Kilgannon is a Senior Fellow for Education Studies at the Family Research Council. Today, she discusses her new publication: “A Concerned Citizen's Guide to Engaging with Public Schools”.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Has academic underperformance been an issue for decades?
Is there real, hard evidence that America’s schoolchildren are being taught to hate their country, their parents, and even themselves? Meg reveals that this has been happening for decades. She says that “many parents’ relationship with their children is being undermined right under their noses”.
But – why? Why are public schools teaching students all this hate? Meg has a great, but disturbing, explanation…
If Christian Conservatives remove ourselves from the conversation, will education improve on its own? Terry and Meg discuss some crazy statistics and why good teachers need to step up…

this is the problem.

subjects – even math? Meg walks through the graphic material begin taught in
civics, history, and comprehensive sex education. She then explains how critical
race theory has crept in and invaded – sometimes completely taken over –
science, biology, and mathematics.

teachers…
How do Christian Conservatives regain control over what is being taught to their
children and grandchildren? Is a strong, biblical base desperately needed?

Title: Public School Tactics Feed Private School Enrollment
Topic: Public Education
Discussed by Dr. Keri Ingraham
with Discovery Institute (www.discovery.org)
During the 2020-2021 school year, teachers’ unions across the nation
chose to prioritize a political agenda over teaching children.
This has now hit them hard where it really counts – their pocketbook.
Dr. Keri Ingraham is a Fellow at the Discovery Institute and Director
of the Institute’s American Center for Transforming Education. Today,
she discusses the sharp decline in students enrolled in public school and what
must be done to transform education in the future.
Click
here for more on this issue from Dr. Ingraham.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Are private schools across the country currently experiencing a season of
unanticipated growth? Dr. Ingraham believes that public school teachers were not
focusing on the families; they were only focusing on themselves.
Does data for the beginning of the 2021-2022 school year reveal that public
school enrollment has declined by significant amounts?
During the lock-down, did many parents receive an upfront and very personal look
into what was being taught their children? Dr. Ingraham says: “Teachers were
promoting political agendas and radical ideologies instead of teaching the
essentials.”
Is dissatisfaction and outrage from parents toward public schools growing?
*Editor’s Note: You can do a simple search on
Rumble for “critical race theory school board meetings” and see
many testimonies from parents and students.
How do we transform education? Is support for school choice on the rise, even
among Democrats?

Title: Is Your Child’s Education More Important than Their Eternity?
Topic: Public Education
Discussed by Christopher Harris
with Unhyphenated America (www.unhyphenatedamerica.org)
American public schools are shelling out millions of tax dollars to brainwash
children into believing their skin color places them at an unfair advantage.
It's no secret that public schools have increasingly become breeding grounds for
the harassment of Christian students, anti-American rhetoric, and Leftist
propaganda. Lessons on "white privilege" are the latest boondoggle.
Guest Christopher Harris, with Unhyphenated America, quotes economist Thomas
Sowell in response to this: “The problem isn’t that Johnny can’t read. The
problem isn’t event that Johnny can’t think. The problem is that Johnny doesn’t
know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling.”
History has a habit of repeating itself, even if that outcome was horrific.
Christopher believes that the “goal of educating is to draw from within”. Public
schools are not doing that! They are teaching students “what” to think instead
of thinking “how” to think.
Some of the problems lies within administration as well. Many teachers have
simply lost their passion because there are too many rules and regulations.
Teachers may have a choice whether to teach or not; students, however, do not
have a choice concerning what they learn.
Every person has the same opportunity to pursue their dreams in America.
Mothers, fathers, children, immigrants, or natural born citizens. Black, white,
Hispanic, Middle Eastern, Asian, or anything in between. Tall, short, thin,
chubby, good-looking or not. Christians, Muslims, Jews, atheist, theists,
Buddhists, and yes, even Satanists. We are all given the same exact opportunity.
Christopher Harris says, “If one person has done it, so can you, regardless of
race. But even if no one else from any ethnicity has done something, who is to
say that you won’t be the first?”
You can either be a victor or a victim. It is your decision.

Title: Spending on Public Education in Texas: Not Enough or Wrong Focus?
Topic: Public Education
Discussed by Senator Dan Patrick
with Dan Patrick www.DanPatrick.org
Part 1 of 2
Per pupil expenditures in Texas have grown from around $5,000 per student per
year in 1975 to around $11,000 per student per year today. Some say we are not
spending enough, while others say we need to focus on where we are spending the
money now.
In addition, the Texas Education Agency, the TEA, says our drop-out rate is
about 7.3 percent, while the Intercultural Development Research Association, the
IDRA, says the ‘attrition rate’ is about 26 percent. This is a perfect example
of the government “cooking the books”.

The national
Assessment of Educational Progress just released their study focusing on how
poorly public school students read, write and do math. So what do
the liberal, progressives want to focus on in public schools?
Our kids may not know much, but the liberal, progressives pushed through their
agenda in California and the students there will now focus on the contributions
of lesbians, gay, bisexuals and transgendered.
Why not focus on straight contributions to society, or Irish contribution to
society, or heaven forbid, American contributions to society. What is wrong with
this picture?
