Today on The Narrative, CCV President Aaron Baer dives into:

 

• A tiff with a reporter - "Which thumbs up emoji is the most racist?"
• Skyrocketing absentee rates in Cincinnati and Columbus public schools.
• How the Church is sometimes a little too desperate for validation... and how the National Institutes of Health used Evangelical leaders to push their COVID-19 messaging.

 

CCV's Policy Director David Mahan, and Christian Education Network Executive Director Troy McIntosh also join the show for a fast-paced conversation with school choice advocate and expert Corey DeAngelis. Listen now to get the scoop on everything from universal school choice programs and pandemic schooling to teachers' unions and parental rights.

 

Corey DeAngelis is the national director of research at the American Federation for Children, the executive director at Educational Freedom Institute, an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute, and a senior fellow at Reason Foundation. He was named on the Forbes 30 under 30 list for his work on education policy and received the Buckley Award from America’s Future in 2020.

There's no doubt about it: we're in the midst of a great cultural war. Our children are the first casualties on the frontlines as they're being taught to question basic biological realities, to doubt God, to judge one another based on skin color, and more.

 

Parents are tired of their kids being asked to sacrifice for adults. They're rising up, and righting that order.

 

Join CCV President Aaron Baer and Policy Director David Mahan once again on The Narrative for Volume 3: Children First.

 

You'll hear from an incredible line-up of parents, investigators, and experts as they share their frontline stories of this fight for our kids, and how they're rising up.
