 Is it time for parents to get their children out of government run schools that teach them values that are the contrary to what is taught at home? This is the hot topic that is raging across the country that we discuss on this week's episode of CURE America with Star Parker. Ninety percent of the nation's K-12 students attend public schools. Over the last years, as parents became more aware of what is being taught to their children, a new movement has been awakened and parents are not only challenging what is being taught to their children, but are looking for policy solutions that would allow money to follow children to the school's parents want. Whether it is Critical Race Theory, transgenderism and sex education, or other value systems that contradict traditional values on race, marriage, family and life, the union-controlled education system is being challenged. In this episode, we learn from our special guest, Corey DeAngelis of the American Federation for Children and our panelists Jonathan Alexandre of Liberty Counsel Action, Terry Jeffrey of CNSNews.com and Andrew Handel of the American Legislative Exchange Council, that there are alternatives to public schools. This year, four states have already passed Education Savings Accounts and many more are considering options for dollars to fund students, not systems. Yes, it is past time for parents to take full responsibility for their children's future - and demand that they have the freedom and the money to select a school for their child that teaches their values and worldview, the school of their choice.

This episode of CURE America with Star Parker is brought back to you to highlight the critical importance of school choice, emphasizing that parents should have the freedom to choose the school that aligns with their values. After all, it's their children, not the government's children. Is it time for parents to get their children out of government-run schools that indoctrinate our kids? This is the pressing issue we discussed in this week's episode. Currently, ninety percent of the nation's K-12 students attend public schools. As parents increasingly recognize the harmful influences in public schools—such as the sexualization of children, promotion of fake Critical Race Theory, socialist indoctrination, and erosion of parental rights—a strong movement is emerging. These parents are not just pushing back against the radical agenda in the classroom but are also demanding policy changes that ensure funding follows their children to schools that align with their values.   The success of charter schools and private schools stems from the same principle that drives the success of private universities—students choose them because they are not forced into them by the zip code that would otherwise define their destiny. Whether it's Critical Race Theory, transgenderism and sex education, or other educational approaches that some parents believe contradict their values on family and life, the union-controlled education system is facing significant challenges.   In this episode, we hear from our special guest, Corey DeAngelis of the American Federation for Children, along with our panelists Jonathan Alexandre of Liberty Counsel Action, Terry Jeffrey of CNSNews.com, and Andrew Handel of the American Legislative Exchange Council. They discuss the alternatives to public schools and highlight the growing trend toward Education Savings Accounts, with four states having already passed such measures this year and many more considering options to fund students, not systems.

What policies promote freedom and prosperity? How do we identify policies that will help individuals, businesses, communities, and nations to thrive? Linda's guest in this episode, Jonathan Williams, refers to America's fifty states as laboratories of democracy and shares insights into the positive and negative outcomes of policies enacted by each state government.  Jonathan is the Chief Economist and EVP of Policy at the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), where he works with state policymakers, congressional leaders, and members of the private sector to develop fiscal policy solutions for the states. He also co-authors Rich States, Poor States, an important, comprehensive guide to policy outcomes in all fifty states. He and Linda discuss the current inflation crisis, tax policy proposals, and business friendly initiatives that could ignite economic growth across the nation.

This week we were covering the AMERICAN LEGISLATIVE EXCHANGE COUNCIL. Probably the single most evil thing we've ever covered ( sorry Night Stalker Richard Ramirez). But there's no demons or blood magic here. Just good old fashioned corporate greed and manipulation.  But wait ...THERE"S MORE.  ALEC  is a 'non profit' organization comprised of legislators, mostly at the state level, and VERY large multi national corporations . What makes ALEC so heinous is that they buy state legislators and representatives and hand them corporate friendly bills that they write and pay to have them turned in to law. This has been happening since the 70's and has largely gone unnoticed.    This isn't conspiracy theory, folks. This is conspiracy fact.

Many people have never heard of the American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC – but for 50 years, the group has been the driving force behind some of the most extreme policies in this country. Behind closed doors, ALEC brings corporate lobbyists and state politicians together to draft and vote on model bills that aim to free corporations from regulations, regardless of the impacts on people and the planet. Labor law, environmental law, health and safety, voting — no cause is off-limits. Our guests say ALEC and its wealthy pool of funders are a real threat, but there are ways to take action and progress has already been made. In 2023, a diverse coalition of groups, including Greenpeace, Color of Change, the Center for Media and Democracy and more, is calling out the anti-democratic impact of ALEC by using the hashtag #50YearsOfHarm. Congressman Ro Khanna of California's 17th Congressional District, a leading progressive in the House, and Lisa Graves, Executive Director of True North Research and President of the Center for Media and Democracy, two of the preeminent national watchdog groups investigating dark money, join Laura Flanders to unpack it all. And in her closing commentary Laura fills us in on the other side of the story in state houses: the Democrats' have their own project in place these days.

The American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC, is a group of state legislators dedicated to conservative principles like limited government, free markets and federalism. One of the organization's main priorities is “school choice,” including allowing families to use public funds to pay for private schools.Andrew Handel, director of ALEC's education and workforce development task force, explains why he believes government funding should follow students even when they leave the public school system. Then, education reporter Aubri Juhasz joins us for more context, including the other side of the argument. Louisiana has the 10th most regressive tax system in the nation, according to a national report from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. That means lower-income residents spend a higher share of their income on taxes than people in higher income brackets. Jan Moller, executive director of the Louisiana Budget Project, breaks down Louisiana's “outdated” tax codes and how they impact residents.  Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Adam Vos.

Karla Jones, the Senior Federalism and International Relations Task Force director for the American Legislative Exchange Council, comments on the use of resultions and other statements from state and local governments that declare support for Israel. She discusses why she thinks those resolutions matter in Washington, DC. Jones also reacts to the rise of antisemitism both on US college campuses and in many other areas around the country and comments on what role the US should (and shouldn't) have in Israel's war against the Hamas terrorist group and its backers.

Comprehensive coverage of the day's news with a focus on war and peace; social, environmental and economic justice. Republican representatives Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan confirm runs for House speaker. President Joe Biden says his administration has approved 9 billion dollars in student debt relief—an action he says will provide aid for 125-thousand Americans. It's part of what is so far nearly 127-billion dollars the Biden administration has provided as it seeks to make college more affordable and to put it in reach of more people. In his remarks at the White House, Biden also took aim at what he calls MAGA extremism in Congress, opposition to Ukraine aid, and a “poisonous atmosphere” and dysfunction in Congress. The New York State Attorney General criticized former President Donald Trump's comments regarding his civil fraud trial, deeming them offensive and groundless. The Attorney General also labeled Trump's appearance in the early days of the trial as nothing more than a political stunt. As a major conservative policy-writing group celebrates its 50th anniversary, a coalition of pro-democracy groups held an “unbirthday” for the organization, calling out the American Legislative Exchange Council's long record of undemocratic activity. Mourners gathered at San Francisco City Hall to pay their final respects to the late Democratic Senator Diane Feinstein as she lay in state.

Behind closed doors, ALEC brings corporate lobbyists and state politicians together to draft and vote on model bills that aim to free corporations from regulations, regardless of the impacts on people and the planet. Labor law, environmental law, health and safety, voting — no cause is off-limits. Our guests say ALEC and its wealthy pool of funders are a real threat, but there are ways to take action and progress has already been made. In 2023, a diverse coalition of groups, including Greenpeace, Color of Change, the Center for Media and Democracy and more, is calling out the anti-democratic impact of ALEC by using the hashtag #50YearsOfHarm. Congressman Ro Khanna of California's 17th Congressional District, a leading progressive in the House, and Lisa Graves, Executive Director of True North Research and President of the Center for Media and Democracy, two of the preeminent national watchdog groups investigating dark money, join Laura Flanders to unpack it all.
