On Jan 11, 2024, the Round Rock ISD school board convened for a meeting with an agenda that cites "Team Building". However, zero team building actually happened. Instead, what unfolded over three hours was naked political activist organization using school district resources. The board president even brought in the left wing organization, Raise Your Hand Texas, to facilitate and advance their talking points and propaganda. This is just another reason public education is in decline and more and more families are opting out of public schools. In this episode, Bone and Weston share what the community should know about what happened in this deeply troubling meeting.

Public Education is in decline for many reasons. One reason is the amount of time and money the adults in charge spend on politics and attacks against those who expose their malfeasance. One clear example of this is an illegal investigation using taxpayer dollars to investigate Round Rock ISD trustee Danielle Weston in 2022. In today's episode, Weston and Dr Mary Bone talk about this investigation and the chilling effect it has on others thinking of running for school board and the detrimental impact this has on students.

Round Rock ISD trustee, Dr. Mary Bone, explains why she is running in the Republican primary for the District 10 seat on the Texas State Board of Education against 10 year incumbent, Tom Maynard. District 10 consists of 27 counties including Williamson, Bell, Comal and Brazos. ELECTION DAY is March 5, 2024 and early voting is from February 20 to March 1, 2024.

In this episode, we reflect on the latest Round Rock ISD regular school board meeting which occurred on Dec 12, 2023. We walk through the agenda item by item, explain what happened and offer our insight. Listeners will learn about the anti-Americanism on full display in our meetings, the silencing of community members during public comment, the lack of any problem solving, the dog and pony shows and the continued protection of the only superintendent in Texas with a permanent restraining order.

Do you expect your children to learn to read, write and do math at least on grade level at school? Based on the approved academic "goals" the majority of school board members in Round Rock ISD approved, they do not believe that all students can learn. It shocks the conscience and explains why more and more families continue to abandoned our schools. In this episode, we expose the bigotry and harm to children that these "goals" inflict. And we reveal who the real beneficiaries of this harm are.

A local central Texas media "reporter" recently published yet another politically driven hit piece on us. This latest false accusation from an activist "reporter" is anti-Semitism. The accusations just get more bizarre as time goes on. We know that these accusations are not against us personally, but against ALL America loving, family centered citizens who share our values. This episode is our response to the latest hit piece and we reveal where the real anti-Semitism in Round Rock ISD exists.

Why did a central Texas school board majority (near Austin, Texas) set outrageous limits on the speech of elected school board members in meetings? Do students benefits from this radical change in policy? How can a school board exercise proper oversight to protect and prepare students for the future with such oppressive limits on speech? In Round Rock ISD, school board members are now limited to two minutes of questions and two minutes of comments per agenda item. These items include consequential topics like how to spend the half billion dollar taxpayer funded budget, setting academic standards and goals for students, employee compensation and more. This policy change was ushered in over the loud and public objections of two members of the school board, Dr Mary Bone and former US Air Force captain, Danielle Weston.

In this episode, Bone and Weston expose this radical change for what it is, the silencing of the board's two dissenting trustees from continually exposing the board majority for their lack of transparency and other corruption and malfeasance.

Students are fleeing from Round Rock ISD schools near Austin, Texas and shockingly, the school board majority insists "there's nothing to see here!" Even though central Texas enjoys explosive population growth and there are more school age children living inside the boundaries of this school district than ever before, today over 12% of these children and their parents have chosen alternatives to our public schools. Declining enrollment weakens the community in many ways and has a devastating impact on the school district's budget.

In this episode, Bone and Weston go over the enrollment numbers, discuss possible long term implications and share their thoughts on why the board majority refuses to address this problem and resorts to bizarre and false gaslighting excuses including a "declining birth rate".
