What does it mean to educate in freedom? What are the different flavors of “freedom” that appear in the self-directed education world? In this live interview (recorded in January 2020) I speak with Alexander Khost, Editor-in-Chief of Tipping Points, the online magazine of The Alliance for Self-Directed Education, and a facilitator at Brooklyn Apple Academy. We discuss a controversial pair of articles he published in late 2019, addressing the topics of fear- versus trust-based education, the messy overlap between educational beliefs and political beliefs, and how this all plays out in the world of Sudbury schools, Agile Learning Centers, Liberated Learners centers, progressive schools, and unschooling.

One summer day in Jacksonville, Florida, Karen got the surprise of her life. She was with her friend Sheryl. They were pulled over on the interstate, I-95, and Karen was holding a blanket to her face. She was bleeding, and she didn’t even know what had happened. In short time, she learned from a police officer that she had been shot. And she wasn’t the only one. Nine cars that afternoon, on that section of I-95, had been hit by bullets from an unknown source. Six people were injured. And the manhunt was on for the shooter, a 16 year old boy, who was eventually caught and arrested. Karen and I talked about what happened that day, what it feels like to be shot in the face, and the lucky break she caught when she was taken to the ER. And at the end of our conversation, Karen gives the scoop on her area of expertise, angel investing and the Compassionate Capitalist Movement.

Welcome to the second season! So...we didn't mean to make this a clickbaity episode to kick off the second season. We really just wanted to have a discussion about transracialism - honestly when we were brainstorming for this episode, we were just trying to come up with the one thing we disagreed most on. And this notion of transracialism seemed to be the thing. In this first episode with new co-host Deondre' Jones, we go in deep on what race really means, who gets to define your identity, and why being able to define yourself is an integral part of being human blah blah post racial utopia blah nobody reads to the end of these descriptions anyway.

WW1 Centennial News is brought to you by the U.S. World War I Centennial Commission and the Pritzker Military Museum and Library. Today is July 12th, 2017 and I’m Theo Mayer - Chief Technologist for the World War One Centennial Commission and your host. Announcement We open today with an announcement from Dan Dayton, the Commission’s Executive Director. Remembering Former Commissioner James Nutter who passed away this week at age 89. Dan Dayton reads a remembrance of Commissioner Nutter and all he did for us here at the commission. World War One THEN 100 Year Ago This Week [sound transition] We have moved back in time 100 years ago. Today our wayback machine also crosses the Atlantic to view a crisis that arises in Poland - known as the Polish Oath Crisis! Poland in WW1 - Part 1 Germany, has been hoping to use Poland’s extensive manpower to help them fight the war, Jozef Piłsudski,  the leader of the Polish Legion has grown disillusioned with the Central Powers that Germany set up in Poland under the 1916 promise of independence after the war - if Poland sides with her.   By now, the revolution in Russia has removed the hated Czar and brought in a government that will probably support Polish independence.  Plus... America’s entry into the war makes it even more likely that any Allied-enforced peace will recognize full Polish self-determination, instead of a nominal independence as a German vassal. Jozef Piłsudski sees his chance to make his objections known this week, when the German installed governor of Poland requires that all the soldiers in the Polish Legion swear a loyalty oath to a “future King” of Poland and to be a “loyal brother-in-arms” to the Germans and Austrians!   On July 8th, Pilsudski resigns from the provisional government, and instructs the men of the Polish Legions not to swear the oath. The next day, on July 9th most of them agree - and publicly refuse to do so, many throwing down their weapons in protest. This is does not go over well.   Polish-Austrian subjects in the Legions are forcibly drafted back into the Austrian army and sent off to the Italian front; Russian and German subjects who refused to swear the oath are treated as enemy combatants and are arrested as prisoners of war.   Jozef Piłsudski himself is arrested by the Germans and remains in captivity until the final weeks of the war. Poland in WW1 - Part 2: To help us understand the story of Poland and Polish Americans in WW1, we have a special guest with us today. Jan Lorys, is a historian and the former Director of the Polish Museum of America in Chicago… Welcome Jan! [Jan: to begin with, can you put - Poland as an independent people, nation and culture into the context of the time for us?] [There was a large immigrant wave of pols to the US at the turn of the century, what drove that?] [Why did so many immigrants volunteer to go back and fight, especially since they might have been up against their own countrymen?] Thank you for taking the time to join us Jan… That was Jan Lorys, historian and the former Director of the Polish Museum of America in Chicago talking to us about the Polish experience in WW1. http://today-in-wwi.tumblr.com/post/162750174313/polish-oath-crisis [sound effect] US Government Federalizes the Shipbuilding Industry It is the week of July 8 to July 14, 1917. As we explore the pages of the Official Bulletin - the administration’s daily war gazette published by the order of the President by his propaganda chief, George Creel - For a theme this week - we are focusing on ships, shipping, and shipbuilding. There are literally a dozen stories about the war on the waves - Here are a few of them… woven into an interesting picture of a whole industry that is simply being taken over by the federal government. [sound effect] Dateline: July 10, 1917 Headline: PRESIDENT ORDERS 87 GERMAN VESSELS TAKEN OVER FOR THE UNITED STATES. This article points out that in May of 1917, President Wilson approves a joint resolution of congress that allows the united states to take possession of any ships in its national or territorial ports, which are owned in whole or part by companies, citizens or subjects of any nation with which the United States is at war. With that as the basis, President Wilson orders that 87 such ships be appropriated by the US government to be “retrofitted” and put back into service for America. The cash value of the 87 ships is not given, but with a war planned to be prosecuted an ocean away, these opening “spoils of war”, are a real boon. Those 87 ships easily represent one or more years of US shipbuilding capacity - now - they belong to the federal government with the stroke of a pen! Speaking of building ships - another headline this week reads [sound effect] Headline:EXPANSION OF U. S. NAVY YARDS BEING PLANNED SO THAT 16 WAR VESSELS MAY BE BUILT AT ONE TIME. Secretary of the Navy Daniels states today: The shipbuilding facilities of the United States navy yards are being expanded so that eventually 16 war vessels may be on the ways at one time, while fully 32 may be in course of construction. This number does not Include submarines and submarine chasers. "All this work at navy yards is being rushed, with the men working overtime and in shifts, and in most cases bonuses are being offered for completion of work ahead of the schedule." [sound effect] Headline: PRESIDENT AUTHORIZES THE REQUISITION OF SHIPPING Expanding on a law that Wilson gets congress to pass - giving him great authority over the maritime industries, President Wilson flips that control over to another powerful industry board he sets up - The United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation. In this article Wilson states: “I hereby direct that the United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation shall have and exercise all power and authority vested in me in said section of said act, in so far as applicable to and in furtherance of the construction of vessels, the purchase or requisitioning of vessels in process of construction, whether on the ways or already launched, or of contracts for the construction of such vessels, and the completion thereof, and all power and authority applicable to and in furtherance of the production, purchase, and requisitioning of materials for ship construction. Speaking of materials - that is also addressed this very same week! [sound effect] Dateline: July 12th, 1917 Headline: Entire output of steel available for war needs The story reads: "At the conference this morning between the committee of the American Iron and Steel Institute, the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Navy, the Chairman of the Shipping Board, and others, further discussion was had about the prospective demand upon the steel industry  -  for supplies of various steel products for carrying on the war. The steel men repeated their assurance that their entire product would be available for the need, -- and that they were doing everything possible to stimulate an increased production and speed deliveries. " The price to be paid for the iron and steel products was left to be determined after the inquiry by the Federal Trade Commission is completed, ---- with the understanding that the price, when fixed, would insure reasonable profits and be made with reference to the expanding needs of this vital and fundamental industry. The government is not only after the control of the resources but also of the labor [sound effect] Dateline: Friday July 18th, 1917 Headline: LABOR FOR NAVY YARDS BEING SUPPLIED BY CIVIL SERVICE This story talks about how the labor for the expansion is being supported by the government’s civil service commission. It goes on to state: “The Civil Service Commission is an employment agency on a large scale, but it goes beyond the functions of the ordinary employment agency in that it tests the fitness of every person it certifies as eligible. Equipped as it is with 3,000 representative agencies — that is, local boards of examiners—situated in every part of the country, it is eminently qualified to perform the important service of bringing the man and the job together, so far as the needs of the Government are concerned. Then on Friday - the Official Bulletin reveals the big story -  The - to me - jaw dropping announcement that The administration is going to federalize the entire ship building industry! WHAT!? [sound effect] Dateline: Friday July 18th, 1917 Headline: STATEMENT ABOUT THE PROGRAM TO FEDERALIZE SHIPYARDS The article goes on to read: “ Because of their varied contracts for shipbuilding, the yards can not carry out this program without the help of the Government; it has, therefore, been decided that the shipbuilding industry of the Nation shall be federalized. All steel merchant ships now on the building berths will be forthwith requisitioned by the United States, and each yard will proceed to complete such ships under the direction of the general manager of the United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation and will take on new work only with his consent. Wow! There are a bunch of other headlines but we need to stop here and just review - Remember these headlines are just from articles THIS WEEK! FIRST - Wilson expands the US maritime fleet by nearly 90 ships - by appropriating all the vessels in US and US territorial ports if are connected to any nation, company or citizen of a nation we have declared war on. NEXT - Secretary of the Navy Daniels declares that we are pushing the US Navy shipyards into doubling their production capacity. THEN - Wilson officially empowers an organization called the United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation with general control over the industry… FOLLOWED BY - The steel manufacturers gathering in Washington to agree that their entire output and industry is now at the beckon call of the US government - at a “to be negotiated price”. The labor force and hiring for the NAVY shipbuilding industry is put under control of the government’s Civil Service Commission ALL THIS IS TOPPED OFF WITH the announcement on Friday that  - the entire shipbuilding industry NAVY and CIVIL is being federalized and put under the control of the United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation. The bottom line seems to be that 100 years ago this week - the US government literally takes over and federalizes the entire US shipbuilding industry including supply and labor. That a shocking and almost inconceivable turn of events for a free enterprise, democratic, capitalist nation - Yet it is another part of the war that changed the world. Great War Project Our next guest is Mike shuster, former NPR correspondent and curator for the Great War Project blog. We have explored Poland, shipbuilding in the US and now Mike takes us to the UK where more soldiers are being freed up to fight - by women! Welcome Mike! [Mike Shuster] Thank you Mike.

The commission sees the common recognition of the centennial by the leadership of both countries as a significant moment in the centennial commemoration of the War that changed the world! Junior Master Gardener Poppy Project This week we want to introduce you to a new collaboration we are very excited about!  The 4H club and it’s Junior Master Gardener Program. This is an international youth gardening program that engages children in “hands-on” group and individual learning experiences that develop an appreciation for the environment and gardening - cultivating both the ground and -  the mind.

Utah An exciting new opportunity for grants has launched in the state of Utah. The Utah Department of Veterans and Military Affairs and the Division of State History are offering grants for World War I-related research, commemorative events, as well as the cleaning and restoration of memorials around the state. The funding ranges from $500 to $1,500 for events and research and up to $5,000 for the cleaning and restoration of WWI memorials. This is a great extension of the 100 Cities / 100 Memorials program if you are in the state! Gary Harter, executive director of the veterans and military affairs department, states “Even 100 years after it occurred, the impacts of World War I are still felt today.”, He continues with “These grants will assist in allowing the war’s significance to be remembered and those who fought it to be honored.” Learn more by following the links in the podcast notes. link:http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865684168/New-grants-available-for-World-War-I-commemorative-events-displays.html https://heritage.utah.gov/history International Report Remembering Caribbean and African Imperial Soldiers In our International Report this week, we head to Birmingham, where the “They Also Served” research project recently held a remembrance service at the New Testament Church of God in with guest speaker Revd Rose Hudson-Wilkin, Chaplain to Her Majesty the Queen. Dr Joe Aldred, from Churches together in England, helped organize.  He said, "There's something about living in the diaspora that means that the major narratives tend to tell the story of the majority community and in that regard the world wars and the participation of African and Caribbean people in the world wars from Britain's colonies - that is no exception. Why are we not represented when it comes time to commemorate?" They’re not the first to bring into public conversation this issue of overlooked groups that served in the war. Dr. Sashi Tharoor, MP for Thiruvananthapuram, author of 15 books, former Minister of State in India and former Under Secretary General of the United Nations, has spoken about this oversight recently himself. In an interview with Sky News earlier this year: [RUN CLIP] It is now recognised that over 2 million Africans and 16,000 Caribbeans, not to mention countless Black Britons that joined British regiments, served during the war, a war that is often viewed at a white man’s war but that was truly global. Learn more about They Also Served by visiting the project website, where you can view photos, follow the project’s upcoming events and learn about individuals that served in their blog.
