Tell us whatcha' think! Send a text to us, here! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our podcast. In this crucial episode of the Parents' Right in Education podcast, we dive deep into the escalating trend of student protests across college campuses and their potential to infiltrate K-12 education. The recent violent protests at institutions like Columbia, City College, and UCLA, driven by issues such as the conflict in Gaza, underscore a shift toward increasing activism within our schools.We'll discuss how organizations like Advocates for Youth are actively recruiting young individuals, training them in advocacy for topics like reproductive justice and LGBTQ rights, further blurring the lines between education and activism. Special focus is given to the situation in Portland, Oregon, where public schools have adopted a curriculum deeply rooted in critical race theory, portraying America in a negative light and pushing students toward a race-based revolutionary mindset.Our guests will explore Christopher Rufo's insights into how this "pedagogy of the oppressed" replaces traditional education with political activism, creating a "school-to-radicalism pipeline." This systemic approach not only fosters division but potentially qualifies as a betrayal of the very principles upon which the American education system was founded.Join us as we discuss the implications of these educational practices, the need for mental health support for students indoctrinated under these ideologies, and the critical importance of restoring traditional American educational values to counteract this disturbing trend. This episode is a call to action for parents and educators alike to stand up for local control of education systems and teach students to honor the U.S. Constitution, law and order, and individual freedom.The article, published in May of 2021, titled Child Soldiers of Portland, by Christopher Rufo described the Oregon city, known for its political protesters: Anarchists, Communists, ecofascists, and other agitators denouncing police, and America itself.Support the showIf you need assistance with a situation in your area, please fill out our free consultation form.DONATE TODAY!www.ParentsRightsInEducation.com

Military expert Col. Dave Grossman discusses not only African and Middle Eastern child soldiers but also the experience of youthful draftees in Viet Nam. Along the way, we cover Ukraine's fighters, PTSD, video games, female child soldiers, sleep deprivation, chaplains, and how Grossman supports his own deployed grandson. Alert: some troubling content. 2d alert: we're not saying that the U.S. draft system in 1974 is comparable to the kidnapping and conscription of 13-year-olds in Kenyan militias. Hear us out.

Dave GrossmanTranslation of clip 1:“So this particular day, we were all dressing up to go to the market. Then we realized the rebels wereall over our compound. They caught up with me and brought me home. My mother had just delivered a baby. They told her they wanted one million shillings or else they would kill me. So they brought 2 big bundles of sticks and they began beating me. They beat me until I was unconscious. They said that I would become a good soldier now that they had taken the civilian spirit away from me.”Translation of second clip not in English:“For 4 years, we did whatever they told us to do just to keep them satisfied. And to try to make them trust us so they would not kill us and we could escape from captivity. But in our hearts, nothings was changing. They would teach us that the people we loved were Kafir (infidels). And that we should fight them. Outwardly we were acting like them. Inside, though, we were still holding on to our religion. But they knew that we hadn't converted to their religion, so they put us in prison. They told us, ‘You are still Yezidis.'” And they hit us with sticks. It was difficult. I begged them, ‘Show mercy. I am young; I cannot handle this beating.' But they continued to beat me.'…--When you were released from captivity and got back home,why did you get the tattoo of your mother on your arm?I love my mother a lot and I want her image to be with me always. ISIS took her away from me and separated us.--You were so young, you were 13 or 14 years old. I want her to always be with me. That's why I got this tattoo.”

As a boy, Ishmael Beah was forced to kill. How do you turn a soldier back into a child? Ishmael Beah was just 13 when war reached his village in Sierra Leone and he was made to flee. In the chaos, he was separated from his family. He ended up with a group of other children at what they thought was the safety of an army base. But instead, he was taught to become a hardened killer and sent out to fight. Nearly three years went by before he was finally rescued by child protection specialists from Unicef, but he was so brainwashed that he didn't want to leave. It took months of careful rehabilitation and the support of a very special woman to break down his defences.In 1996, at the age of just 16, he gave a speech at the UN in New York where he recalled his experiences. His testimony formed part of a pivotal report into the impact of armed conflict on children. A decade later, he would become the first Unicef Advocated for Children Affected by War. Today he is a bestselling author and married with three children. This interview was recorded in 2020. This interview contains disturbing descriptions of violence.Presenter: Jo Fidgen Producers: Edgar Maddicott and Jo Impey Editor: Munazza KhanPhoto: Ishmael Beah Credit: Priscillia Kounkou HoveydaGet in touch: liveslessordinary@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp: 0044 330 678 2784
