The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Think about it: 90% of American children, at around the age of five, are handed over to a government program run by those who avow and promote socialism, and then we're shocked when they vote for socialists. If you've only been shown the benefits of a system, and none of its costs, why wouldn't you support it? So why are we surprised when...

As the new school year kicks off, many parents and educators are wondering if our children are truly prepared for the workforce of the future. In this episode, we explore the challenges facing our educational system and what we can do to get our kids "future ready." Joining us is CEO of ETS, the largest private educational assessment and testing organization in the world. The conversation touches on the importance of math and reading skills, which are becoming increasingly crucial in today's economy. We discuss the need to strengthen our educational system by integrating national and state assessments with what's happening in the classroom. This involves continuous assessments that check in on progress in math and reading, and ensuring that teachers are equipped to use technology, including AI, effectively. He emphasizes the importance of balancing the use of AI with safeguards to prevent cheating and ensure that students are actually learning critical thinking skills. We also explore the disconnect between teachers using AI and receiving formal training on its responsible use. If you're concerned about the future of our educational system and want to make a difference, tune in to this episode to hear expert perspective and learn how you can get involved in the conversation about education policy and the role of technology in the classroom.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this 10th episode of the #FactsMatter Podcast series exploring the issues Michiganders could face if a constitutional convention is approved on November's ballot, host Guy Gordon and Research Council president Eric Lupher take listeners deep into Article VIII of the Michigan Constitution — the section devoted entirely to education. If voters approve a constitutional convention, Article VIII could face sweeping reconsideration. A Council Report on Article VIII was released last week as part of the Citizens Research Council's Con-Con series. Guy and Eric unpack the big questions: should Michigan establish education as a fundamental right? What would stronger constitutional language on adequacy, funding floors, or student achievement mean for schools, courts, and taxpayers? How might delegates rethink governance in a system where responsibility is scattered across the legislature, an independent State Board of Education, the governor, and hundreds of local districts? The conversation also explores hot‑button issues likely to resurface, including private school vouchers and Michigan's long‑standing prohibition on public funding for private education. Eric and Guy examine the political history behind the Blaine Amendment, why other states are moving toward vouchers, and how Michigan's unique landscape could shape the debate. Higher education governance gets its own spotlight as they revisit the origins — and current dysfunction — of Michigan's elected university boards at U‑M, MSU, and Wayne State. They contrast Michigan's model with other states, weigh the risks of politicization, and consider whether a constitutional rewrite could bring stability to the state's flagship institutions. Community colleges round out the discussion, with a look at fragmented local governance and the missed opportunities for statewide coordination that could better support students moving from K‑12 to two‑year and four‑year programs. This episode is essential listening for anyone trying to understand what's at stake in a potential constitutional convention — and how decisions about Article VIII could shape Michigan's educational future for decades to come.

Born in Trouble (July Ep. 1): Race Politics, DEI Myths, Social Media Brain Rot & the Future of Power Host John X reunites with Grant “City Wing King” Lancaster and Andrew Johnson (Men, Money and Marriage) for the first July episode of Born in Trouble, ranging from humor to a wide discussion on racism, Argentina's history and demographics, and how race narratives play out in the U.S. They debate backlash to casting Black actors in fictional and historical roles, argue that DEI is scapegoated while “white entitlement incompetence” is ignored, and share personal experiences with hiring and promotions. The conversation criticizes social media for amplifying poorly processed information, links declining literacy and screen-based schooling to reduced recall and conversation skills, and touches on voting challenges in rural Black communities in states like Mississippi amid demographic shifts. 00:00 July Episode Kickoff 01:39 Afro Banter Reunion 03:18 Argentina Race Talk 06:40 History Of Erasure 09:47 Casting Culture Wars 11:44 Jaylen Brown And Control 17:13 Umar And Interracial Fears 23:46 Social Media Brain Rot 27:20 DEI Myths And Reality 30:56 White Entitlement Incompetence 33:02 Degrees Aren't Intelligence 33:50 Illiteracy and Screen Learning 35:07 Phones and Keeping Kids Smart 36:31 Free Speech Shelf Life 37:34 Mississippi Justice and Racism 40:17 Demographics and Voting Power 44:25 Politics Bought and Sold 47:22 Jobs, AI, and K Economy 49:57 Near Death and No Patience 54:16 Youth Must Lead Change 56:58 Indoctrination and Culture Wars 01:01:21 Conversation and Closing Out 01:02:42 Stop Fearing Being Smart 01:05:06 Empathy as a Nation's Test

The term ‘polycrisis' denotes a scenario where multiple crises occur at the same time. A new book titled ‘India Out of Work: Rethinking India's Growth Story', written by two economists, Santosh Mehrotra and Jajati Parida, argues that India is facing a polycrisis -- a structural economic crisis, an employment crisis, and the education system crisis, and looming overall of all of these, a potential demographic crisis. How did India land up in a polycrisis and what is the way out?

The traditional education system is actively destroying your child's potential and turning them into a passive consumer. In episode 893 of the Savage Perspective Podcast, host Robert Sikes and guest Matt Beaudreau expose the dark truth about standard public schooling. They reveal why perfect grades fail to prepare students for real life and how schools favor behavior management over human development. You will discover the best blueprint for raising highly capable, respectful kids through alternative schooling. Matt details the Apogee micro-school framework, which replaces useless standardized testing with real world skills, physical fitness, and true financial literacy. This method completely transforms how children grow, helping them avoid college traps and build a powerful digital portfolio instead.To learn more, visit: https://apogeestrong.com/Schedule a FREE Keto Consult Call: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/callGet Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQChapters0:00 - The Ultimate Guide to Alternative Schooling: Why the System is Failing1:27 - Who is Matt Beaudreau? 20 Years of Education Secrets Revealed2:54 - Why Straight-A Students Fail: The Dangerous "Game" of School4:49 - The Dark History of Public Schools: Is It Designed for Population Control?7:54 - How the Education System is Designed to Create Mindless Consumers9:42 - Breaking Free from the "Cult" of Standardized Education12:43 - What is the Optimal Parenting Strategy?

In Part 6 of Exposing the Matrix, we examine what may be the most powerful control system ever created: education. From the creation of the U.S. Office of Education in 1871 to the influence of Rockefeller-funded institutions, we trace the transformation of American schools from locally rooted, community-centered education to a highly standardized system increasingly shaped by bureaucracies, universities, and ideological movements. We explore revisionist history, declining literacy, the erosion of critical thinking, behavioral conditioning, university radicalization, psychological labeling, dependency on institutions, the removal of biblical foundations, and the rise of social engineering. Most importantly, we examine what Scripture says about guarding the mind and why Colossians 2:8 remains one of the most relevant warnings for our time. If the battle for the future is ultimately a battle for the minds of children, then this conversation is one every parent, pastor, teacher, and believer needs to hear.Email: thefacthunter@mail.comFoundations In Faith: https://www.foundationsinfaith.netMadalyn Murray O'Hair: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madalyn_Murray_O%27Hair

Don't forget to subscribe for free to our newsletter, the top 10 ideas of the week, every Monday --------- Joe Liemandt quietly built one of the most successful software empires you've never heard of—then reappeared with a $1 billion bet that AI can make kids learn ten times faster and love school more than vacation. At Alpha School, students spend just two hours a day on AI‑driven academics, consistently score in the top 1% on standardized tests, and use the rest of their time to build real‑world life skills: leadership, entrepreneurship, teamwork, and projects they actually care about. There are no lectures, no moving on without mastery, and a very different role for “teachers”—now called guides. Liemandt is the principal of Alpha School and the founder of Trilogy Software and ESW Capital. He dropped out of Stanford to build Trilogy, made the cover of Forbes twice before turning thirty, became the youngest member of the Forbes 400, then vanished from public life for twenty‑five years while quietly becoming one of the most prolific acquirers of software businesses in the world. Now he's using everything he learned about systems, incentives, and scale to rebuild K–12 from first principles around mastery, motivation, and AI. In this conversation, we cover Joe's full arc, from sleeping on the floor at Trilogy and being mentored by Jack Welch to deciding that “kids must love school more than vacation” would be a non‑negotiable design principle for Alpha. He explains how the Timeback platform works under the hood, why he's comfortable streaming student screens to AI in real time, and how he plans to scale this model to a billion kids. You'll learn: why he thinks the traditional classroom was designed for a narrow slice of students and wastes everyone else's time, what changes when kids master a year of material in roughly 20–22 hours, how guides coach motivation instead of delivering lectures, and the simple rules he uses to make high‑stakes decisions about people, product, and strategy. ------ Timestamps: (00:00) What's Broken in Today's Education System (07:01) What Makes Alpha School Different (11:01) Real Results: 2 Hours of AI, Top 1% Scores (16:55) Who Gets In (23:20) The Everyday Classroom Problems Alpha Is Fixing (26:40) Redefining Mastery: No Moving On Until You “Get It” (35:37) Can You Actually Change a System This Big?

In “Kim on a Whim,” Kim St. Onge and Marc dive into the growing burden of student loan debt after a study found that many Gen Z borrowers are delaying major life milestones like buying homes, getting married, or starting families because of overwhelming college costs. The conversation critiques the modern higher education system, with Marc arguing colleges dramatically inflated tuition prices once federally backed student loans became widely available, comparing the crisis to the housing bubble and healthcare inflation. The segment also explores personal responsibility, predatory loan interest rates, parents' role in financial planning, and whether college degrees still justify massive debt loads outside of elite or specialized programs. Marc reflects on how affordable tuition once was during his own college years and contrasts it with today's six-figure debt stories, while both hosts argue that universities have increasingly prioritized profits and ideology over practical value. The discussion blends economic frustration, generational challenges, and skepticism toward government student loan intervention into one of the hour's most relatable conversations.

The Conflation Conversation: C Comeback, Community Survival & Relationship Reality Talk | Born in Trouble Host John X returns to Born in Trouble with Grant Lancaster, They reflect on aging, being “elders,” and why lived, immersive experiences and community history matter more than today's phone-driven culture. The conversation critiques money as the central measure of “success,” compareing systems where needs were met without money, and warns that current politics and economic trends—including AI-driven job loss and rising foreclosures—threaten everyone while eroding community. They discuss race as an American construct tied to slavery, expressing a belief Black people have been the country's moral compass, and debate immigration's impact on community. They react to a viral clip about “scoring” an NFL/NBA boyfriend, emphasizing loyalty, service, and rejecting transactional relationships, then end calling for peace, reduced intra-community violence, and greater support for HBCUs amid Southern redistricting issues. 00:00 Welcome Back Update 01:33 Cancer Recovery Check In 03:23 Jordan LeBron Debate 04:41 Aging And Being Elders 08:36 From Immersion To Online 11:11 Money Over Everything 14:30 Systems And Reactions 16:59 Moral Compass And Politics 23:26 Not Becoming Oppressors 25:58 Conflation Congregation Explained 27:00 Housing AI And Foreclosures 31:58 Community And Immigration 37:30 Foreign Voices and Division 37:59 People Are More Alike 39:28 Switching to Relationship Drama 40:03 Clip Advice on Athletes 43:09 Serving Each Other in Love 45:05 Money Talk and Prostitution 49:58 High Value Men Reality 51:43 Beyond Transactional Love 54:20 Building Wealth Together 01:01:13 Peace Message and Unity 01:04:08 HBCU Push and Gerrymandering 01:06:47 Wrap Up and Personal Banter

Her books include, The History of the World series, The Well-Educated Mind: A Guide to the Classical Education You Never Had, Rethinking School: How to Take Charge of Your Child's Education, and most recently, The Great Shadow: A History of How Sickness Shapes What We Do, Think, Believe, and Buy. Susan and Greg discuss the mismatches between institutional schooling and how kids learn, the historical context in which the U.S. education system was created, and practices for cultivating deeper learning, whether it be in a homeschool environment or reading for enjoyment. They also dive into Susan's latest book, The Great Shadow, and explore how historical experiences of sickness have shaped daily life, persistent health beliefs, and current tensions between vaccines and wellness rhetoric. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: The education system mismatch 04:49: The thing about this system is it actually worked really, really well. It did what it was supposed to do for over a hundred years, which was assimilate immigrant children, teach them how to speak English, teach them how to read, teach them how to write, teach them civic virtues, teach them the Pledge of Allegiance, all of these American things. The problem is that, you know, a hundred, 150 years on, 200 years on, that regimented system simply doesn't suit a good number of the students who are sort of marshaled into it and run through it anymore than every 18-year-old would do well in Army basic training. Some of them would do great, but some of them, it's just not going to fit. And that's the challenge that we now face with our current K-12 system. Books makes us human 25:26: If we lose books, we are going to lose part of what makes us human and what has made us human since the invention of writing. We're going to lose a huge element of our evolution as people if we lose books. We need to create space where reading is just for fun 32:22: So I do see parents wanting to push kids into harder reading too early, without them realizing that if they want kids to enjoy books, then they have got to make a space in the kid's life to read things that are too easy, because that's when we enjoy ourselves—when we're doing something that is not straining every mental muscle that we have. So we do need to create also this space where reading is just for fun. Show Links: Recommended Resources: Montessori education Mortimer J.

What if the most competitive exam in the world is also the most destructive? In this episode of Eye on AI, Craig Smith sits down with Professor Andrew Thangaraj, faculty at the Department of Electrical Engineering at IIT Madras, to explore how one of India's most prestigious institutions is quietly dismantling the system it helped build. Andrew lays out the honest reality of higher education in India. Two and a half crore kids reach college age every year. Only 90 lakh make it to college. And the IITs, the most coveted institutions in the country, take just 17,000. The competition to reach those seats has become so extreme that students are losing their childhoods, their development is stunted, and even those who make it through are often unemployable because the system rewards knowledge over skills. Andrew walks through exactly how IIT Madras is responding. A full, IIT-branded undergraduate degree in data science delivered entirely online for under five lakhs, roughly $5,000. No JEE required. No elite school background needed. Just a 10th standard foundation and the willingness to do the work. The program flips the traditional model, putting hands-on skills and real projects before theory, building in multiple exit points for students who need to start earning before they finish, and scaling to over 40,000 active students through a hybrid of faculty-recorded lectures, full-time instructors, and a remarkably active student community. We also get into the bigger picture. Why India's AI talent gap is as much a culture problem as a numbers problem. Whether India can leapfrog into AI leadership the way China did after rebuilding its research ecosystem. Where AI tools are already being tested inside the program and where they still fall short. And how AI deployed in Indian languages, in agriculture, and in the courts could drive the kind of societal change that no corporate productivity tool ever will.  Subscribe for more conversations with the people shaping the future of AI and emerging technology.   Stay Updated: Craig Smith on X: https://x.com/craigss Eye on A.I. on X: https://x.com/EyeOn_AI     (00:00) Introduction and Andrew Thangaraj's Background (01:29) India's Higher Education Bottleneck (03:45) Designing a $5,000 IIT Degree  (09:27) Why Graduates Still Lack Skills (12:31) When the Program Started and How It Got Approved (13:56) Program Structure, Diplomas and Multiple Exit Points (17:52) Who the Program Reaches and Surprising Student Stories (24:57) Older Students, Working Professionals and International Enrollment (29:55) Can India Leapfrog in AI (34:03) Data Centers, Power and Infrastructure Gaps  (40:57) How Involved Are the IITs in India's AI Mission (46:00) AI for Languages, Farms and Courts

Teachers’ Unions as Political Power Brokers Major teachers’ unions (e.g., NEA, AFT) have contributed over $1 billion to left‑wing political causes over the past decade. This funding overwhelmingly supports Democratic candidates, progressive activism, and ideological causes unrelated to education. Education System as Ideological Indoctrination Unions have shifted from focusing on education (reading, writing, math) to political indoctrination of students. Declining academic performance is linked to this ideological focus rather than educational reform. Coerced Union Participation Teachers are forced to contribute union dues and face professional consequences if they dissent, framing this as coercive or unethical. Link Between Education, Ideology, and Political Violence Left‑leaning control of education has normalized hatred of conservatives, Christians, and Donald Trump. There is a direct causal line between: union political spending, ideological education, polling data suggesting some Democrats justify political violence, and alleged assassination attempts on Donald Trump. Normalization of Political Violence 25% of Democrats believe political violence can be justified. This reflects a broader cultural shift allegedly driven by education and political messaging. Democratic Strategy Framing Democrats deliberately pursued a “long game” by controlling education from elementary school through universities to shape future voters. Education institutions are culture‑shaping tools rather than neutral public services. Call to Parental Action This is a warning to parents for continued and increased involvement in school boards. This activism is a response to loss of trust, lack of accountability, and ideological overreach. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Could a simple device save you thousands in water damage before you even know there's a problem? John and Mike Jansen from Plumberooz explore how smart technology like the PHYN leak detection system is quietly changing homeownership. But the conversation doesn't stay at home for long. John shifts to rising tensions with Iran, unpacking high-stakes decisions involving energy markets, military strategy, and global consequences. As oil routes shift and pressure builds, one question looms—how far will things go before a resolution is forced? The hour then pivots into a provocative discussion with Robert Bortins, examining the roots of America's education system. Is it broken… or working exactly as designed? Finally, John closes with a passionate defense of truth and accountability in media, challenging misinformation and calling out divisive narratives. This hour doesn't just inform—it pushes listeners to think deeper about home, country, and culture.

Last week, Ontario introduced new legislation proposing sweeping changes to education in the province – from how school boards are managed, to having attendance make up part of final grades for high school students. This is the latest in a string of changes that serve to centralize oversight over Canada's largest education system. The Globe's education reporter, Dave McGinn, joins the show to talk about why Ontario says it's introducing these changes, and what parents and teachers want to see going forward. Questions? Comments? Ideas? Email us at thedecibel@globeandmail.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

The Ontario Government seems to have interest in overhauling the existing education system. From the idea of a CEO and a CEdO (Chief Education Officer), to tying attendance records to final grades, or capping the amount of trustees at a school board, Minister Paul Calandra has eyes on streamlining and tightening where funds go and who gets to spend them. Families, unions and educators alike however, aren't too keen on the changes, claiming the government is pushing its education ministry into corporatization. Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Kelly Gallagher-Mackay, an education policy expert at Wilfred Laurier University to discuss the changes, how they're going to affect the day-to-day workings of students and teachers, and what the future of education in Ontario could look like.

Karen Horwitz is a former elementary school teacher and the author of, "A Graver Danger."   Learn more at https://endteacherabuse.org EPISODE SUMMARY BELOW: Education Reform and Whistleblowing Karen and Nate discussed their shared mission of helping people find ownership and purpose. Karen explained her concept of "white chalk crime," which she trademarked in 2002 to describe corruption in the education system, where problem teachers are fired while schools continue receiving government funding. The conversation began to touch on Karen's experience as a whistleblower and her work in education reform. Educational Corruption Experience Sharing Karen shared her experience as a fourth-grade teacher in the northern suburbs of Chicago where she discovered corruption in the mid-1990s. She described how a young principal targeted older teachers and violated laws regarding age discrimination, leading Karen to consult a lawyer about filing an age discrimination case. When the superintendent threatened to make her life miserable if she created trouble, Karen decided to document the issues and speak out, eventually choosing to focus on reporting educational corruption rather than teaching. Education System Corruption Issues Karen discussed her experiences with corruption in the education system, particularly regarding age discrimination and the protection of problematic teachers. She provided an example of a teacher who was placed on unpaid leave after filing an assault charge against a principal, while another teacher who showed naked pictures to students was merely moved to another school. Karen explained that she had threatened to sue the district due to age discrimination practices, and mentioned her discovery of election fraud in her district where officials were re-elected despite not addressing the issues. Principal's Inappropriate Decision Making Karen discussed her experiences with a young principal who made inappropriate decisions, including moving her from 4th grade to 5th grade to teach science, which Karen believed was an attempt to make her quit. Karen explained that the principal had also reassigned an older librarian to a floating substitute position and had treated several teachers poorly. Nate questioned Karen's interpretation of the principal's motives, particularly regarding the science teaching assignment, suggesting that the principal's actions might not have been discriminatory. Teacher Abuse in School Systems Karen discussed her experiences with teacher abuse and described how school districts can be "mafia-like" in their operations. She shared specific examples, including a case of a Florida teacher who was criminally indicted after preventing a potential school shooting, and the Roslyn School District scandal in New York involving financial misconduct by administrators. Karen explained that in her view, school systems often prefer problematic teachers, including potentially pedophile teachers, over those who would challenge authority or report misconduct, as the latter tend to build positive relationships with parents which districts seek to avoid. Public School System Corruption Issues Karen discussed her observations of systemic issues in public school systems across the United States, claiming that over 50% of schools exhibit problematic behavior similar to a "mafia" structure. She shared the specific case of Ed Coben, a teacher who was allegedly framed for a mass shooting at a Miami-Dade public school and later received a small settlement after retiring. Karen explained that many competent teachers are silenced or pushed out of the system, with the remaining teachers either complicit in inappropriate practices or being used as pawns in administrative conflicts. She argued that these issues have created division between homeschooling parents and those still involved in traditional schools, while the actual problem lies with corrupt administrators who prioritize control over education quality. Modern Education Challenges Discussion Karen and Nate discussed the challenges in modern education, particularly regarding how controversial issues like gender identity and furries are used to distract from more serious problems. Karen explained how these distractions prevent teachers from addressing real issues with troubled students, potentially contributing to school shootings. She emphasized the need for more teachers like herself who can connect with and help troubled students, contrasting with younger teachers who focus more on popular culture. The conversation also touched on the complexity of trans issues and how effective democratic schools with supportive teachers could address these challenges. Education Reform and Systemic Issues Karen discussed her experiences and observations in education, asserting that administrators often pressure teachers to be less caring, creating a hostile environment that can lead to the removal of dedicated educators. She attributed much of the problem to systemic issues, including corruption and mismanagement of funds, rather than malicious intent by all administrators. Karen emphasized the need for reform in education to restore democracy and protect students' well-being, highlighting her ongoing efforts through her websites and book, "A Graver Danger." Nate expressed concerns about the complexity and messaging of Karen's arguments, encouraging her to clarify her key grievances for broader impact. Conclusion Nate interviewed Karen Horwitz, author of "A Graver Danger: White Chalk Crime - The Stunning First Ever Explanation for School Shootings and How We End Them," about her 30-year investigation into corruption in public school systems. Karen described her experience as a whistleblower who was fired from her teaching position in 1999 after discovering age discrimination and other wrongdoing by administrators in her district. She claimed that more than 50% of school systems across America operate like "mafia operations" prioritizing money and control over student welfare, often protecting problematic teachers while targeting competent ones who question authority. Karen's research includes numerous examples of financial misconduct, administrative abuse, and systemic issues that she believes are destroying democracy and contributing to broader societal problems. She maintains websites documenting these issues and hopes her book will reach the next U.S. President to help reform the education system.
