The Education Myth: How Human Capital Trumped Social Democracy (Cornell UP, 2023) questions the idea that education represents the best, if not the only, way for Americans to access economic opportunity. As Jon Shelton shows, linking education to economic well-being was not politically inevitable. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, for instance, public education was championed as a way to help citizens learn how to participate in a democracy. By the 1930s, public education, along with union rights and social security, formed an important component of a broad-based fight for social democracy. Shelton demonstrates that beginning in the 1960s, the political power of the education myth choked off powerful social democratic alternatives like A. Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin's Freedom Budget. The nation's political center was bereft of any realistic ideas to guarantee economic security and social dignity for the majority of Americans, particularly those without college degrees. Embraced first by Democrats like Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton, Republicans like George W. Bush also pushed the education myth. The result, over the past four decades, has been the emergence of a deeply inequitable economy and a drastically divided political system. Jon Shelton is professor and chair of democracy and justice studies at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. In addition to The Education Myth he is the author of Teacher Strike! Public Education and the Making of a New American Political Order, which was the winner of the International Standing Conference of the History of Education's First Book Award in 2018. Shelton has also published work in the Washington Post, Dissent, Jacobin, Democracy: A Journal of Ideas, and other publications. He served as the Vice-Chair of the city of Green Bay's first ever Equal Rights Commission and sits on the Board of Directors for the Labor and Working-Class History Association and the Wisconsin Labor History Society. He also serves as President for Higher Education of the American Federation of Teachers-Wisconsin. Learn more about your ad choices.

교회의 사역목표 (2): 복음으로 수용되어 Embraced by the Welcoming Gospel 로마서 (Romans) 11:17-24 [새번역/ESV] 17 그런데 참올리브 나무 가지들 가운데서 얼마를 잘라 내시고서, 그 자리에다 돌올리브 나무인 그대를 접붙여 주셨기 때문에, 그대가 참올리브 나무의 뿌리에서 올라오는 양분을 함께 받게 된 것이면, But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, 18 그대는 본래의 가지들을 향하여 우쭐대지 말아야 합니다. 비록 그대가 우쭐댈지라도, 그대가 뿌리를 지탱하는 것이 아니라, 뿌리가 그대를 지탱한다는 것을 명심해야 합니다. do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. 19 그러므로 "본래의 가지가 잘려 나간 것은, 그 자리에 내가 접붙임을 받게 하시려는 것이었다" 하고 그대는 말해야 할 것입니다. Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” 20 옳습니다. 그 가지들이 잘린 것은 믿지 않은 탓이고, 그대가 그 자리에 붙어 있는 것은 믿었기 때문입니다. 그러니 교만한 마음을 품지 말고, 도리어 두려워하십시오. That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear. 21 하나님께서 본래의 가지들을 아끼지 않으셨으니, 접붙은 가지도 아끼지 않으실 것입니다. For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. 22 그러므로 하나님의 인자하심과 준엄하심을 생각해 보십시오. 하나님은 넘어진 사람들에게는 준엄하십니다. 그러나 그대가 하나님의 인자하심에 머물러 있으면, 하나님이 그대에게 인자하게 대하실 것입니다. 그렇지 않으면, 그대도 잘릴 것입니다. Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off. 23 그러나 믿지 않았던 탓으로 잘려나갔던 가지들이 믿게 되면, 그 가지들도 접붙임을 받게 될 것입니다. 하나님께서는 그들을 다시 접붙이실 수 있습니다. And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again. 24 그대가 본래의 돌올리브 나무에서 잘려서, 그 본성을 거슬러 참올리브 나무에 접붙임을 받았다면, 본래 붙어 있던 이 가지들이 제 나무에 다시 접붙임을 받는 것이야 얼마나 더 쉬운 일이겠습니까? For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree.

The Journey Beyond Death – Part 11 opens our seven-part Near Death Experiences series with a powerful collection of firsthand journeys beyond the veil. These stories are not hearsay — they come from individuals who were clinically dead, crossed into another realm, and returned to transform the way we understand life, death, and what lies beyond. Leading NDE researcher Dr. Jeffrey Long, who has documented over 4,000 near-death experiences, shares stunning evidence that consciousness survives death. His research challenges the limitations of mainstream science and reveals consistent themes: overwhelming love, divine light, and a reality more vivid than this world. He recounts cases including a woman born blind who "saw" during her NDE, providing undeniable proof that our perception transcends the physical body. NDE survivor Peter Anthony, known as "The Accidental Prophet," describes traveling through a tunnel of rotating mathematical codes and faces from past lives, gaining profound downloads of universal knowledge. Bev Brodsky recounts meeting an angelic guide and merging with an all-knowing light — realizing that all souls are connected, and that love is the foundation of all existence. Finally, Betty J. Eadie, celebrated author of Embraced by the Light, shares her extraordinary encounter with Jesus and the heavenly realms. She describes a soul journey filled with infinite love, deep remembrance, and sacred revelations about why we incarnate on Earth. Betty's testimony stands as one of the most detailed and comforting maps of the afterlife ever shared, offering hope and clarity to anyone seeking to understand what truly happens after death. This episode challenges conventional thinking and invites listeners to step beyond fear — to embrace the reality that death is not an end, but a magnificent homecoming to unconditional love. ----------------------------- Featuring in order of appearance 01:00 – NDE Leading Researcher Dr. Jeffrey Long 28:06 - NDE Survivor Peter Anthony 39:27 – NDE Survivor Bev Brodsky 45:07 – NDE Survivor Betty Eadie ----------------------------- Dr. Jeffrey Long – Radiation Oncologist & NDE Researcher Dr. Jeffrey Long is a radiation oncologist and a leading authority on near-death experiences (NDEs).

#354 What happens when a retired professional athlete dives headfirst into an industry he knows nothing about? In this episode hosted by Brien Gearin, Lee Stuart shares how he went from professional motocross rider to the founder of Rogue Lab, one of the top screen printing and branding shops in Canada. With zero experience, Lee took his last $300 to start a clothing brand, and after facing repeated setbacks with outside vendors, he built a full commercial print shop in his basement — investing $50K into equipment he'd never used. He talks about going viral on YouTube by documenting his journey, how he scaled from solo printer to a growing team, and why lean systems, relentless self-education, and value-based pricing helped him build a premium business. Lee also reveals how he expanded into fulfillment, brand design, and custom transfers, creating new income streams and positioning Rogue Lab as a creative powerhouse! What we discuss with Lee: + From pro rider to entrepreneur + Started with $300 and a vision + Built a $50K home print shop + Pivoted YouTube channel for growth + Faced backlash, then went viral + Scaled team with SOPs and systems + Introduced fulfillment for big brands + Embraced lean manufacturing + Uses value-based pricing + Turned Rogue Lab into a lifestyle brand Thank you, Lee!

100 - Can a Christian Be Stoic? In this episode, I explore a question that has shaped much of my spiritual journey: can a Christian embrace Stoicism? I share how I discovered Stoicism at a young age and how its principles helped me build resilience during difficult times. Later, when I became a Christian, I had to ask whether those Stoic values still had a place in my life—and what I found was both challenging and enlightening. Virtue and Character in Both PathsBoth Stoicism and Christianity call us to a life of integrity—emphasizing values like courage, wisdom, justice, and self-control. I talk about how these overlapping principles shaped the way I approach daily life, relationships, and spiritual growth. Even though the motivations are different—Stoicism is about inner peace, Christianity is about serving God—the virtues themselves resonate in both. Emotions: Controlled or Embraced?One of the biggest contrasts is how emotions are treated. Stoicism promotes emotional restraint. Christianity invites emotional honesty. I reflect on the emotional lives of Jesus and biblical figures like David and Hannah, and what that says about God's design for our emotional nature. Suffering and ResilienceBoth philosophies prepare us to face hardship. I talk about how Stoicism taught me to endure, but Christianity taught me that suffering has a purpose. One builds strength through discipline; the other brings hope through surrender. Together, they have helped me become more resilient—not just tough, but spiritually anchored. Where Stoicism Can Fall ShortI also share moments where Stoicism made me overly self-reliant. Sometimes I default to solving problems instead of praying through them. That's where my faith checks me. Christianity invites me to lean on God, not just on grit and planning.

Please join me for the interview with Bruchy Moskovics. Bruchy was raised in the Hasidic village of Kiryas Joel. Her story is like no one's I've ever heard, and the way she tells it will take you to another world -- a world of faith, thoughtfulness, and living connected with something very alive within. Bruchy is now a child therapist and also does post-psychedelic integrative therapy, and her work often addresses a Yiddish-speaking crowd. In this interview she both shares her story and also explains what psychedelic therapy is, and how it's coming to play a role in the contemporary Hasidic community.Bruchy's Instagram account is: https://www.instagram.com/bruchymoskovics/Thumbnail photo credit of Hasidic man smoking: Abe Kugielsky - https://www.instagram.com/hasidiminusa/
