Hidden Curriculum 2:
Nicholas is joined by POD host Adam Sommer, to discuss the ultimate failure in education: teaching students to not fail.

Follow the analogy of education as an airplane, and why the most valuable thing we can do for students is let them fly, and crash, the plane.

Adam and Nicholas reveal the inside of the black box of education: personal accounts of failure, unintended lessons learned from education, and the reason that high school is a holding pattern for students while expertise inflation diminishes public education; all while the push to end public education ramps up to a new fever pitch.

Buy or Sell: Last week’s GOP wins were a roadmap to the referendum on Biden’s Presidency and a roadmap to how the GOP will win in 2022

1. Twitter poll results

1. https://twitter.com/TheHeartlandPOD/status/1456419488455438339?s=20

1. Way more races than VA Governor’s race

Dems seem split on being more of a progressive party or relying on the more neoliberal centrist portions to court the illusive swing voters - is there a clear answer here? Impacts of BP infrastructure- BBB Status?

Important differentiation here: WOKE politics v. progressive politics - we can talk until we are blue in the face about pronoun usage but for most voters those issues DO NOT drive turnout, DO NOT change their vote, and DO NOT make the list of things they care about in politics

Interesting point: White college educated women came out and voted STRONGLY Democratic in Virginia, but Rural women, non college, swung hard to the right

Cori Bush tweet: ​​We win elections when we legislate change that people can feel. President Biden can deliver that right now by picking up his pen and using his executive power to cancel student debt.

• Bush votes NO on the BP Infrastructure

Prof. Harvey J. Kaye - @harveyjkaye on twitter - good follow - Dems are losing VA… Lesson? Stop nominating Clintonites and start embracing progressives and social democracy!

1. Progressive caucus ready to jump ship

1. Yeah, No…

1. Iowa Gov Kim Reynolds turned down $95 million in funding for COVID relief but just signed a bill to give unemployment benefits to people who lose their job for refusing to get a Covid vaccine - this is real

1. Mo 4th Race

1. https://themissouritimes.com/who-is-running-for-cd-4-in-missouri-to-replace-hartzler/

2. Reality is that this is a Republican seat at this point, the race is the primary - We saw two good people, and good candidates in this race the last two cycles, and it was still not a close race. Don’t expect that to change this cycle, but never say never

3. Dems known: JD Leathers, looks like he’s been a farmer and worked with several governments in various capacities, certainly relevant experience for the job which is nice - also Anthony Osborne is listed on Ballotpedia but I couldn’t find anything on him

1. https://www.krmsradio.com/democrat-jd-leathers-announces-run-for-4th-congressional-seat/

2. Inflation - if some of the wild items are removed, is actually pretty normal

3. Labor realizing it’s own power seems to be a driver here too

4. People simply making life changes and withdrawing from the “rat race”
