In episode 181 Mark discusses the radicalization of our nation’s schools by those most entrusted for ensuring its integrity...public school teachers. No, we’re not talking about ALL teachers, or even the majority of them. We’re very mindful that most teachers are honorable public servants doing their best to educate our kids and model good behavior. However, there is an uprising in teacher’s displaying “Non-Institutionalized Bad Behavior” where educators practice illegal/ horrible sexual misconduct, and “Institutionalized Bad Behavior” where educators push a politically charged teaching agenda of Critical Race Theory, Social Emotional Learning, or other ideologies that seem to have incensed because of current the Election results.

In episode 180 Mark with guest Rebecca Friedrichs discuss the teachers’ unions, like the National Educators Association, the American Federation of Teachers, along their state equivalents, like the California Teachers’ Union. These unions are bent on advancing harmful ideologies in our nation’s schools, rather than representing the bests interests of dues paying teachers.
