Your parental rights are under attack — and neither party is doing enough to protect them. In this episode, Sheri Few sits down with Michael Ramey to break down what's really happening in the courts and in Congress when it comes to parental rights in America.

Michael walks through recent Supreme Court decisions that have upheld the fundamental right of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children — and why those victories matter. But he doesn't stop there. He also calls out both Republicans and Democrats for their failure to take a clear, courageous stand on legislation that could permanently protect parental rights at the federal level. If you believe parents — not the government — should have the final say in how their children are raised and educated, this conversation is for you.

In this episode:

- What the Supreme Court has said about parental rights

- Key legislation that could protect parents — and why it's stalling

- Why both political parties are falling short on this issue

- What parents can do RIGHT NOW to fight back

-Build an unshakeable bond with their children through everyday engagement

-Take back authority over what — and who — shapes their child's worldview

-Create a family culture where learning flows naturally from home, not from a classroom

In this episode, we’re joined by homeschooling advocate and author Israel Wayne to discuss government vouchers, private schools, and homeschooling. Drawing from his book, Education: Does God Have an Opinion?, Israel shares a biblical perspective on education, parental authority, and the growing debate over government funding in private education. We explore how government vouchers can affect educational freedom, why many families are turning to homeschooling, and what parents should consider when weighing independence, school choice, and the future of their children’s education.

This episode focuses on the importance of active parental involvement in a child's education and upbringing. We share valuable parenting advice and discuss how consistent parent education can strengthen family bonding. By fostering strong parent-child bonding, we contribute significantly to positive child development and academic success.

In this episode, April Few and Robert Bortins discuss the complexities of school choice and its impact on the education system. They argue that accepting public funding for private education can blur the lines, effectively making private institutions public. This conversation highlights the importance of informing parents about public policies affecting their children's schooling, especially those related to charter schools and government funding.

This episode highlights the growing bipartisan agreement that the current education system isn't working, offering resources for parents to assert their parental rights and contribute to student success. We discuss education policy and effective teaching methods to improve community engagement in schools.
