Do you ever feel alone in your desire to make change in our society? Well, ironically, you’re not alone in feeling alone; we all feel that way sometimes. And also, you’re not actually alone. Did you know that there are over 100,000 parents across America who are actively engaging with the school system? Our guests on The State of Education today are the cofounders of Moms for Liberty—a grassroots organization whose momentum has washed over the US, fueled by a desire to stand up to the government on behalf of our kids. Today, Melvin gathers valuable insight from Tina Descovich and Tiffany Justice that unifies, educates, and empowers you to be a part of that movement!

The math doesn’t add up—failing students doesn’t equal success. As we conclude our interview with Steve Newman, Melvin asks tough questions about how policy makers view school budgets and who the “assembly line” education system is leaving behind. Failing grades create battle lines, and Steve shares how lost accountability is creating space for the government he feels to use schools as a social experiment, a veritable lab for social change. On the small scale, he expounds on how school districts can define their own social justice "truths.” He also concludes with a passionate exhortation for citizens to encourage their leaders who are taking action.

The strength of a company lies with the quality of its leadership. Our guest, Steve Newman, learned this first hand while serving in the Virginia Senate and other elected positions, including his local city council. In 2010, he was instrumental in the Governor’s Higher Education Reform Commission  and coined the word “educrats” to describe those in government who are more interested in self-serving agendas than changing student’s lives. Join us today as Melvin and Steve discuss policy creation and how citizens can stand firm for reform.
