Home Education Today

In this episode we get an update from Christy and what's been happening in her life since the election for District Superintendent in June. It's the ongoing saga of corruption in the California Public School System and how honest, hard-working Conservative teachers are being forced out of the system by WOKE administrators and the woke mob.

Using their own words from original sources written in books by Critical Theorists, and taking a cue from James Lindsay on his YT channel "New Discourses," I show that the theory of critical race is nothing more than Marxism repackaged. We have been manipulated into thinking we have something to be guilty of, and we need to remove our children from a public school system that has been infiltrated with this theory for more than 25 years.  

In this short discussion I talk about the difference between making our feelings what determine our actions - what I call "critical feeling" -  and how important it is to develop true critical thinking skills to navigate life and stabilize our society.

In this episode we talk with Brian Ruka, host of Right and Wrong podcast. Brian started his podcast because he found out the public school system in Boston has zero respect or his religious beliefs and the indoctrination of his kids via transgender theology. All of his efforts to voice his desire met on deaf ears from administration, the office of Equity in the district, and the school board. Brian's experiences are being played out all over the country as Leftist ideology takes over our public schooling system.

In order for that child to effectively learn past the tipping point, adults need to honor and encourage meaningful exploration.

What is your child's learning style? Critical to a child's success in learning is knowing how their individual brains are wired. A very few children come learning visually, and a few are auditory learners, but most children begin life as kinesthetic learners. When or if they outgrow kinesthetic learning is a very individual path.
