Legal scholar Derek Black is a vocal critic of the Trump administration's anti-DEI crusade, arguing that the effort to impose what he calls ‘loyalty oaths' on schools is blatantly unconstitutional. Black argues that the attacks on public education are at the center of a larger project aimed at undermining the two central pillars of democracy: free speech and due process. The author of a new book, Dangerous Learning: The South's Long War on Black Literacy, Black draws parallels between the lead-up to the Civil War and today's paranoia-fueled efforts to limit what teachers can teach and students can learn.

On March 20th, President Trump issued an executive order effectively abolishing the Department of Education. The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) and American Federation of Teachers (AFT) have already filed a lawsuit to block the dismantling, alleging the executive branch has exceeded its constitutional authority and violated law. As the nation watches the flurry of executive orders and legal action unfold on public education, what does this mean for the nation's K-12 and higher education students?rnrnDerek Black is a Professor of Law at the University of South Carolina School of Law, the Ernest F. Hollings Chair in Constitutional Law, and directs the Constitutional Law Center. He is one of the nation's foremost experts in education law and policy.

His 2020 book Schoolhouse Burning: Public Education and the Assault on American Democracy describes a full-scale assault on public education that threatens not just public education but American democracy itself. His forthcoming book, Dangerous Learning: The South's Long War on Black Literacy outlines the enduring legacy of the nineteenth-century struggle for Black literacy in the American South.
On April 30, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School v. Drummond, in which a virtual school in Oklahoma is attempting to become the nation's first religious charter school.On this episode of The Report Card, Nat Malkus and four experts discuss and debate the case and the many questions it raises: Can religious charter schools be constitutional? What would religious charter schooling mean for American education? Are religious charter schools good for school choice?

What happens when you completely disagree with someone's beliefs but still choose to show them human dignity? In this episode of Spiritually Hungry we talk to Matthew Stevenson, a Jewish student who invited Derek Black, once a rising leader in the white nationalist movement, to his weekly Shabbat dinners. Instead of debating or condemning Derek, Matthew offered connection—an approach that, over time, played a crucial role in Derek questioning and ultimately rejecting white nationalism.

Our present media landscape poses significant challenges in the current political climate as they continue to exacerbate the perception that most U.S. citizens are hopelessly divided. Research shows this is not the reality. Outlined here are examples of many groups that have built alliances and have crossed boundaries to build a better future for all.

She has developed an approach that converts debilitating intergroup conflict into constructive outcomes. This work is known as Leading through Relationships (LTR™). She's a former partner at the Monitor Group and former chief executive partner at New Profit. Her approach is to educate practitioners to develop the skill for engaging and fact-based dialogues, learning from different perspectives, and partnering across boundaries.

Derek Black was raised to take over the white nationalist movement in the United States. Their father, Don Black, was a former Grand Wizard in the Ku Klux Klan and started Stormfront, the internet's first white supremacist website.
What's it like to discover a Klansman in one's own family? A few weeks ago, R. Derek Black, the son of a KKK Grand Wizard and an intimate family friend of David Duke, came on the show to confess the exceptional nature of his own family history. But for Edward Ball, the author of Life of a Klansman, the story of his great great grandfather, perhaps the most disturbing element of having a family history of white supremacy is its unexceptional quality. As Ball - best known as the author of the award winning Slaves in the Family - explains, around half of Americans could, if they wish, write a similar memoir. So Ball's Klansman could easily be your Klansman too. “Whiteness and its tribal nature,” Ball warns, “are normal, everywhere, and seem as permanent as the sunrise.” Edward Ball is the author of several nonfiction books, including The Inventor and the Tycoon, about the birth of moving pictures in California, and Slaves in the Family, an account of his family's history as slaveholders in South Carolina, which received the National Book Award for Nonfiction. He has taught at Yale University and has been awarded fellowships by the Radcliffe Institute at Harvard and the New York Public Library's Cullman Center. He is also the recipient of a Public Scholar Award from the National Endowment for the Humanities.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

R. Derek Black grew up with the founders of the American White Nationalist Movement. Then they become advocates for antiracism. How did that happen?
Today is part two with R. Derek Black, former white supremacist turned anti-racism advocate, and author of The Klansman's Son: My Journey from White Nationalism to Antiracism. Today we discuss how and when Derek's identity became exposed to their friend group, including drastically different reactions from fellow students, how they were invited to Shabbat dinner by some Jewish friends, and how over time the cognitive dissonance of believing in ideology that was dangerous to people they care about began to wear on them, eventually leading them to denounce white nationalism.

Today our guest is R. Derek Black, former poster child for white supremacy (now turned antiracist advocate) and author of the new memoir The Klansman's Son. Derek, who came out as trans in this book, walks us through the white supremacist movement, where it stands now, what it was like growing up in a white nationalist family, being close to prominent neo-Nazi David Duke, how they were taught that the whole world misunderstood their "scientifically correct" ideology, and speaking to the press and becoming a public-facing figure of racism as a child. They'll tell us about hosting a white nationalist radio show, going off to college, and how they began hanging out with a Jewish girl there who had no idea about this double life they'd been leading.

With Derek Black, on their new memoir The Klansman's Son. We discussed Derek's journey from being the child of the head of the KKK, to their renunciation of their white supremacist beliefs and becoming an anti-racist. In an America where the GOP presidential nominee is openly adopting planks of the white nationalist platform, Derek is sounding the alarm. Order Mark's novel Bunyan and Henry.

This week, Larry Smith joins the Idiots. 00:00 Introductions 02:25 Life Coaches 13:39 Cults 27:35 Trump vs. Biden 34:02 Gordon Black —The Idiots do a little victim blaming, because my God… Why would you ever hire a “Life Coach” to tell you what to do? A completely untrained, unregulated nitwit with no special skills who gladly takes as much of your money as you're willing to give. Even better, a life coach can be someone who failed out of (or was fired from) another profession: therapy. (Note: therapists are a favorite topic for Jake, so we linger here a wile.) Anyway, Jodi Hildebrandt was an Utah-based therapist who felt to constrained by all the rules and regulations Big Gubment held over her, so she became a life coach. Currently in prison after being convicted of abusing two children, she bilked people like Ethan Prete out of thousands of dollars. Thing is, if you're dumb enough to listen to an un-credentialed Life Coach, ya kinda deserve to lose your money. Chances are, you weren't going to do anything smart with it anyway. —Without meaning to, the Idiots segue into people so bereft of common sense, they join a cult. Jake begins by bringing up Dancing for the Devil, the new documentary on Netflix that covers a TikTok trend, and then it moves to David Koresh and the Branch Davidians in Waco, and MAGA Trumpers. Following that, R. Derek Black is discussed, because of the wonderful prank she played on her racist father. (Spoiler alert, her dad is Don Black, founder of Stormfront, the hate-site visited by intellectually-challenged mouth-breathers, and she was born he, and transitioned.) Side note: Hawk Tuah girl Katie Vickers is discussed in this segment. —Democrats are in the upcoming election to lose it. Instead of hammering home solid talking points, they're spending $50 million on an advertising campaign to tell people Donald J. Trump is a convicted felon. Which, as we all know, is something no one cares about. At all. Sure, they could hammer home his Supreme Court picks, three liars who said they believe in Roe v. Wade, or the border crisis Republicans are fueling, as they didn't vote on the legislation they wrote, but why try that? —Injustice moves fast in Russia. A few weeks ago, the Idiots discussed Staff Sgt. Gordon Black, a United States solider who was in an… “interesting” (read contentious) relationship with a Russian woman. Black followed her to Russia, where, OF COURSE he was arrested. Well, he was tried and thrown in jail, because who could have ever seen this happening, except everyone. Hey, here's an idea: don't go to Russia. Anyone. Especially U.S. soldiers. Idiots on Parade: we mock the news, so you don't have to. Tune in and get your giggle on.

Mishal Husain speaks to former white nationalist R. Derek Black
The Klansman's Son: My Journey from White Nationalism to Antiracism: A Memoir by R. Derek Black https://amzn.to/3V1mTF0 From the former heir-apparent to white nationalism, The Klansman's Son is an astonishing memoir of a childhood built on fear, of breaking from a community of hate. Derek Black was raised to take over the white nationalist movement in the United States. Their father, Don Black, was a former Grand Wizard in the Ku Klux Klan and started Stormfront, the internet's first white supremacist website—Derek built the kids' page. David Duke, was also their close family friend and mentor. Racist hatred, though often wrapped up in respectability, was all Derek knew. Then, while in college in 2013, Derek publicly renounced white nationalism and apologized for their actions and the suffering that they had caused. The majority of their family stopped speaking to them, and they disappeared into academia, convinced that they had done so much harm that there was no place for them in public life. But in 2016, as they watched the rise of Donald Trump, they immediately recognized what they were hearing—the spread and mainstreaming of the hate they had helped cultivate—and they knew that they couldn't stay silent. This is a thoughtful, insightful, and moving account of a singular life, with important lessons for our troubled times. Derek can trace a uniquely insider account of the rise of white nationalism, and how a child indoctrinated with hate can become an anti-racist adult. Few understand the ideology, motivations, or tactics of the white nationalist movement like Derek, and few have ever made so profound a change. When coded language and creeping authoritarianism spread the ideas of white nationalists, this is an essential book with a powerful voice.
R. Derek Black (they/them), a doctoral candidate in history at the University of Chicago whose father was a former Grand Wizard in the Ku Klux Klan and started Stormfront, the Internet's first white supremacist website, discusses how it felt to be the heir apparent to a white nationalist movement, how they interacted with family after renouncing white nationalism, and how we can come together as a country. Derek's new book is The Klansman's Son: My Journey from White Nationalism to Antiracism.
Last week's KEEN ON America interview featured a conversation with R. Derek Black, the son of a KKK Grand Wizard, whose all-too-American life has been defined by radical personal reinvention and second chances. In contrast, Ali Velshi, host of MSNBC's "The Last Word", not only chose to come to America from Canada, but also chose to become an American citizen. For Velshi, a self-styled libertarian who confesses to holding five passports, the act of being America suggests the kind of small act of courage which he writes about in his eponymous new biography. Americanness, for Velshi, is chosen not given. It suggests our agency to fight for democracy. Being American is then, by definition, a form of political obligation. It requires small acts of courage from citizens like Ali Velshi.Ali Velshi is MSNBC's Chief Correspondent and the host of Velshi. Previously, he was CNN's Chief Business Correspondent and co-host of American Morning. Velshi has been nominated for multiple News and Documentary Emmy Awards.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

Derek Black was raised to take over the white nationalist movement in the United States. His father was a former Grand Wizard in the KKK and David Duke was a family friend. Derek joins Tavis to discuss renouncing a community of hate and becoming an antiracist.
How seriously should we take the white nationalist threat in the United States? Very seriously, at least according to R. Derek Black, a young man who knows a thing or two about the US white nationalist movement. The son of a Grand Wizard of the KKK and a close family friend of David Duke, Black believes that white nationalism is no longer a fringe feature of the Trumpist Republican party. And it's this fear of the mainstreaming of overt racism that triggered Black's new book, The Klansman's Son: My Journey from White Nationalism to Antiracism, an account of his rebellion not just against racism, but against his family, particularly his Grand Wizard father, Don Black. Derek Black is an American former white supremacist. He is the son of Don Black, founder of the Stormfront online community, and godson of former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke. He publicly renounced white nationalism and chronicled his personal journey away from his family's beliefs.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

This is a SAMPLE version of the episode, access the full episode via patreon.com/nicemangos *** Join me for an unexpected but fascinating chat that arose from the previous panel episodes on Germany, Identity & Palestine. I knew that one of my panelists (Claus) had been raised far-right and since shed those beliefs, but I had no idea just *how* far-right … Strap yourselves in for a very wild, rollercoaster of a conversation. Major CONTENT WARNING: There's talk of bigotry, nazi cults, smuggling, murder, suicide, white supremacy, and more horrific stuff. So please proceed with caution. We discuss the skeptic scene and how rapidly it's devolved, Michael Shermer in particular comes up. I also try to gauge and assess just how fashy Claus's upbringing was, was it overtly and explicitly fash, was it IDWesque in trying to mask the bigotry… or was it a bit of both? Claus peels back the layers and helps us understand what got him out of that bigoted worldview, what kind of damage it did to the people around him, and how he sees echoes of it in present day culty, conspiracist circles. —— Links Eric Ludendorff: “The Nazis distanced themselves from Ludendorff because of his eccentric conspiracy theories In 1926, Ludendorff divorced Margarethe Schmidt and married his second wife Mathilde von Kemnitz (1877–1966). They published books and essays claiming that the world's problems were the result of Christianity, especially the Jesuits and Catholics, but also conspiracies by Jews and the Freemasons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_Ludendorff Claus briefly mentioned Derek Black's story: Derek Black is an American former white supremacist. He is the son of Don Black, founder of the Stormfront online community, and godson of former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke.

He was jailed several times: in Canada for publishing literature "likely to incite hatred against an identifiable group", and on charges of being a threat to national security; in the United States, for overstaying his visa; and in Germany for charges of "inciting racial hatred".

Presenters: David Sciarra, Esq., Executive Director, Education Law Center; Derek Black, Esq., Professor of Law, South Carolina School of Law and author, Schoolhouse Buring: Public Education and the Assault on Democracy In this episode, Education Law Center Executive Director David Sciarra interviews Derek Black, Esq., Professor of Law at South Carolina School of Law. Professor Black is the author of a leading education law casebook, Education Law: Equality, Fairness, and Reform, and the book Schoolhouse Burning: Public Education and the Assault on Democracy. His areas of expertise include education law and policy, constitutional law, and civil rights. Professor Black discusses the legacy and lasting national impact of the Abbott v. Burke litigation, and contrasts the approach taken in New Jersey with that of other states seeking to address issues of equity in education.
We speak with University of South Carolina law professor Derek Black about the history of education as a core government service and the current wave of voucher laws in red states. Professor Black argues that these will permanently reduce education funding levels and threaten the very existence of public schools. We also talk about the #RedforEd resistance and the need to substantially increase funding for schools with many low-income students.
What is internalized anti-semitism? What is the difference between white supremacy culture and white nationalism? How can white Jewish people hold space for both their own marginalization and their privilege in our society (which is at the cost of the marginalization of others)? What is the impact of sacrificing aspects of our own culture and identity to get closer to whiteness? In this series on healthcare and social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts and gives her own insights into multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism. In this episode, Jill discusses her awareness of her own internalized anti-semitism and how it has intersected with her anti-racism journey. She discusses how white American Jewish people can both benefit from white privilege and also be the target of anti-semitism and white nationalism, and how anti-semitism and racism are used by the Christian right in an attempt to hinder partnership between Black and Jewish communities.

Education is the new frontline in America's culture wars.In Florida, teaching about LGBTQ+ issues has become a flashpoint. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis recently surrounded himself with smiling elementary school children as he signed the “Don't Say Gay” bill that bars discussion of sexual orientation or gender identity in the state's primary schools.Teaching about racism is also now perilous. At least 36 states have passed or proposed laws or policies that restrict the teaching of race or racism.At the heart of this culture war is a struggle over who controls education. As a result of recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions loosening restrictions on funding religious schools, some states are enacting policies permitting public funding of private schools, including religious schools. The Vermont Senate recently passed S.219 to restrict public funding for religious schools. But critics, including former Vermont Education Secretary Rebecca Holcombe, fear that Vermont may unwittingly establish a precedent that conservative legal groups will take to the U.S. Supreme Court in an effort to knock down the wall between secular and religious education.I spoke with Holcombe and Derek Black, a professor of law at the University of South Carolina and a leading expert on education law and policy, about the implications of allowing public funds to pay for private and religious education.“The Supreme Court is moving toward a doctrine that suggests … that you can't exclude religion and that the state really can't control its dollars once they enter the private sector,” Black said.If that happens, he said liberal states may simply end programs to pay tuition for some students to attend private schools, while other states may “run wild” with public support of religious schools.“We may be leading to a tale of two different countries when it comes to public education and privatization in America,” Black said.
Listen to Matthew Stevenson, whose remarkable act of social transformation has inspired many—to bridge divides, bring families and communities together, and transform people from the inside-out, in conversation with Prof. Hitendra Wadhwa, exclusively on Intersections. Through love, respect and understanding, Matthew, an Orthodox Jew, was able to transform the white supremacist views of Derek Black, the heir apparent to the white nationalist movement and godson of David Duke, the former grand wizard of the KKK.
Today we wrap up our Best of Season 1 series and while these subjects are more often upsetting and confusing than not, there is some light at the end of the tunnel, and we try our best to end things off on a high note. Here's to another great season of The DäBU Podcast in the near future and also celebrating what we have already achieved in this short space of time. We kick things off looking back at the recent final verdict in the trial of George Floyd's murder, taking some time to reflect on some different opinions regarding the weight of the result and then some reactions to the conviction of his killer. This takes us into some perspectives on the storming of Capitol Hill in January of 2021, Trump's role in these events, and the mind-boggling reactions of the armed forces to this terrorist attack. Other highlights we run back include segments on systemic racism in the police force, outwardly racist statements by political figures on the right, how misdirecting information can be when spread in certain ways, and some disturbing echoes of The Red Summer, that occurred over a hundred years ago. We finish off with our customary path to resolution segment, attempting to brighten the heavy mood that seems so prevalent in all things American these days, talking about the amazing example of Derek Black, as well as the inspiring story of an initiative to actually help homeless people instead of harassing them. So for all this and then some, be sure to join us for our season finale!
Welcome back to part two of our discussion about the January 6 insurrectionist protest. In today's show, we continue to unpack events on the day of the storming of Capitol Hill. We also pull up several clips that demonstrate the continuation of systemic racism in America as well as a contrasting movement pointing toward a more equitable future for all.Our conversation begins with an appreciation for the exemplary policing Eugene Goodman demonstrated by diverting the January 6 mob. We then get discuss the role social media plays in pushing people with ‘benignly alternative' beliefs toward groups like QAnon where they end up trying to overthrow the government. Next, we move onto a demonstration of the way systemic racism is still alive in the U.S today, using samples of interviews that highlight the racist views of white leaders. Our exchange moves to focus on the history of white-committed bloodshed against Black lives with no consequences and we connect this to calls from the GOP for no prosecutions to occur after the January 6 protest.Toward the end of the show, we consider some paths to resolution. These scenarios all demonstrate movements and actions in the U.S. that shine a light on the idea that while systemic racism is being perpetuated, some change for the better is occurring alongside it. We consider the decriminalization of homelessness in Austin, Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner's move to weed out corrupt ADAs and cops, and ex-white supremacist Derek Black's comments about the power white people have to combat racism.
On March 4th, Qanon adherents will flock to D.C. to support what they believe will be Trump's “true inauguration.” The March 4th date is a Sovereign Citizen conspiracy that dovetails with followers anticipation of “the storm.” Trump, on-brand, has increased the prices for his hotel stay for this date. In this episode journalist, OG Glitterpill member, & friend David Neiwert and I talk about how conspiracy theories operate, the harms they cause, the role journalists can play in reducing their circulation. We also discuss how a trans allegory in a popular 90's film mutated to a far right recruitment mechanism.
