***In this episode, we’re thinking out loud about the current and future state of Arizona’s public schools. This is not an endorsement or an indictment of any candidate. We simply want less fighting over ESA violations and increased accountability for the BILLIONS we’re wasting on government education.***

***One of the most egregious sex crimes took place on school grounds last week. The justice system and the education system both failed to protect an innocent 10-year-old student. Parents are entrusting their kids to a system that can’t perform its most basic function: student safety. This incident left me wondering if Arizona leaders care about children at all.***

Episode 07: K-12 Educators Get Death Threats After Mocking Charlie Kirk’s Assassination

Leftist educators are now allegedly receiving death threats after being exposed for mocking TPUSA CEO Charlie Kirk's death. One thing you'll never see is a viral video of a conservative teacher mocking the murder of a liberal leader solely because they disagree with their ideas. You reap what you sow.

Also, when you see radical board members, rainbow counselors, and silly teachers advocating for self-expression, pronouns, and DEI, know they are advocating for the castration and sterilization of your children. ***
