About this Episode

Across the country, students are walking out of class to protest ICE and immigration enforcement but the real issue isn’t free speech. The bigger question is why taxpayer-funded schools are becoming staging grounds for political activism.

Today I’m talking about what these walkouts reveal about the state of public education, who’s influencing our kids, and why parents need to start paying attention. If education isn’t neutral—and it isn’t—then we need to be asking who is shaping the worldview of the next generation.
