She Thinks

North Carolina’s Lt. Governor Mark Robinson joins the podcast this week to discuss critical race theory, combating ‘woke’ ideology in schools, and the Left’s belief that black Americans who are Republicans are “white supremacists.” 

Mark Robinson is a native of Greensboro, NC, and a proud Army veteran who is serving as the 35th lieutenant governor of North Carolina. He is the first black American to hold the office and ran on the message of common-sense conservatism: protecting the life of the unborn, defending the 2nd Amendment, giving parents back control over their children’s education, standing up for law enforcement, addressing veterans' care, and enacting election reform. He and his wife are blessed to have two children and two grandchildren.

On this week’s episode, Sam Janney joins the podcast to help us delve into the issue causing many Americans, and specifically women, to change their voting habits — the issue of K-12 education. We discuss the learning loss kids have experienced over the last year, what kids are actually being taught, and the role of parents in their child’s education. 

If you follow Sam Janney on Twitter, you likely know her as The Foo, the Twitchy.com editor, #FOOBar podcaster, and an all-around problematic (per Twitter) Happy Warrior. But she’s not actually a chainsaw-wielding rabbit with a bad attitude and a propensity for destruction. She’s a wife and mom who loves her country and believes we must all fight for it. And she does it with a smile and ray of sunshine.

Today we’re joined by Cynthia Monteleone, a world champion track athlete who, in 2018, competed against a transgender athlete from Colombia. A year and a half later, her high school daughter also found herself competing against a biological male in high school track. We discuss what it's been like since Independent Women's Forum shared her story, how she prepared her family to face the public on such a controversial issue, and where she sees the future of the fairness in women's sports debate. As a metabolic practitioner, we also ask Monteleone for some post-pandemic health, parenting, and wellness advice.

On this special pop-up episode of She Thinks, we discuss the need for expanding school choice options and empowering parents to take control of their children’s education. Parents across the country are seeking a choice in how and where their children learn. States like Florida have created numerous school choice programs that allow education funding to follow students. Erika Donalds joins She Thinks to discuss why parents deserve more leverage when it comes to their children’s education, and the network of classical charter schools she has created in Florida.

Erika Donalds is a mother of three boys and a finance executive with a passion for education. She is a former elected member of the Collier County School Board. During her tenure, she co-founded the Florida Coalition of School Board Members and served as the group’s president. She has served on Governor DeSantis’ Advisory Committee on Education and Workforce Development, the state’s Education Practices Commission, and the Florida Constitution Revision Commission. Erika is President and CEO of The Optima Foundation, a non-profit established to support and expand superior schools of choice, and also leads the School Choice Movement, an advocacy arm that works to engage and empower communities in the battle for education freedom.
