In this thought-provoking episode, Jaime Hunt sits down with Nick Ladany, President of San Francisco Bay University (SFBU), and Jamie Ceman from RW Jones, to explore the creation and launch of SFBU as a true “challenger brand” in higher education. They delve into SFBU's radical student-centered model and its potential to disrupt the industry's traditional norms, such as six-year graduation rates and inflated tuition costs. The episode highlights the university's distinctive mission to provide affordable, high-quality education while breaking down barriers to access.Key TakeawaysChallenger Brand Definition: SFBU aims to disrupt the conventional higher education model by prioritizing student needs over institutional legacy.Radical Student-Centered Approach: The university is designed to center around students, focusing on practical, industry-relevant curriculum and strong student support systems.Cost Efficiency in Higher Ed: SFBU maintains low tuition fees by streamlining expenses, investing in student services over facilities like athletics and rock climbing walls.Thought Leadership in Higher Ed: SFBU's leadership team actively contributes to the national conversation on higher ed reform, promoting transparency, efficiency, and a student-first ethos.Focus on Student Success: SFBU challenges the traditional six-year graduation rate, aiming instead for three to four years by emphasizing wraparound student support.What Is a Challenger Brand in Higher Education? A challenger brand breaks away from industry norms to bring new ideas and models to the forefront, and SFBU embodies this by prioritizing students over traditional higher ed values. Unlike universities that focus on faculty prestige or institutional heritage, SFBU was built from scratch with the student as its focal point. SFBU aims to disrupt higher education's entrenched practices, likening its approach to industry game-changers like Tesla or WhatsApp. By addressing the needs of a diverse student body and adapting to demographic shifts, SFBU is poised to create a more accessible and relevant education model.How Does SFBU's Student-Centered Model Work? SFBU's approach begins with a clear mission: graduating 100% of its students in four years, ideally reducing that timeframe to three. To achieve this, the university reengineers the curriculum to make it more relevant to modern industry demands and ensures that faculty are not only content experts but also trained educators. This model includes comprehensive wellness support, unlimited mental health services, and extensive academic support, all with the goal of fostering student success. Every service, program, and interaction at SFBU is designed to provide students with a holistic educational experience, making the institution truly student-centered.What Role Does Branding Play in SFBU's Mission? SFBU's brand, summarized in the motto "There's No Stopping It," captures the university's disruptive ethos. Developed in collaboration with Jamie Seaman, the brand emphasizes the unstoppable drive of both the students and the university itself to overcome traditional boundaries. This bold brand identity not only resonates internally, with staff and students proudly adopting it, but also serves as a message to the wider community. The branding aims to shift perceptions about higher education, making it clear that SFBU is determined to challenge outdated conventions and provide a streamlined, accessible education.How Does SFBU Address the National Debate on Higher Ed Value? SFBU's leadership, especially President Nick Ladany, is vocal about rethinking higher ed's value. He argues for wider access to college and believes that higher education should cater to students from diverse backgrounds, including those with less traditional academic paths. The university rejects the idea that academic rigor should be reserved for select students, instead offering tailored support to ensure all students can succeed. SFBU advocates for transparency, avoiding tactics like tuition freezes paired with hidden fees, and promotes a four-year—or even three-year—graduation standard to maximize the value students receive.How Does SFBU Keep Tuition Low Without Sacrificing Quality? SFBU has maintained an impressive tuition rate of $10,000 per year, with most students receiving scholarships covering up to 80% of costs. This is possible because SFBU prioritizes efficient use of funds, avoiding extravagant expenses like climbing walls and redirecting resources to essential student services. Faculty and staff are well-compensated, creating a supportive and motivated team culture, yet SFBU saves on extraneous amenities that don't directly contribute to academic or personal success. This cost-effective model is designed to keep education affordable and accessible, focusing on necessary services and student-centered investments.What Is SFBU Doing to Advance Thought Leadership in Higher Ed?President Ladany and the SFBU leadership team are committed to leading a national conversation on reforming higher education. They regularly contribute to forums and publications, like Forbes, to discuss issues such as hidden fees, tuition transparency, and the importance of a four-year graduation standard. Modani criticizes the norm of extended graduation timelines and argues for more efficient educational models. Through active participation in industry discourse, SFBU's leaders aim to set new standards for accountability and transparency, pushing for reforms that prioritize student outcomes over institutional self-interest. - - - -Connect With Our Host:Jaime Hunthttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jaimehunt/https://twitter.com/JaimeHuntIMCAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:Confessions of a Higher Ed CMO is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

Today we talk about the Supreme Court case in Idaho and the Ten Commandments in classrooms in Louisiana.   Sister Helen Prejean, Dead Man Walking, The Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty That Sparked a National Debate,(Vintage Books, 2013), 218-219.  Michael L. Radelet, Hugo A. Bedau, Constance Putnam, In Spite of Innocence: Erroneous Convictions in Capital Cases, (Boston, Northeastern University Press, 1992).  Glenn L. Pierce and Michael L.

The tragic death of 30-year-old Mica Miller has ignited a firestorm of controversy, fueled by a recent TikTok video posted by her husband, John-Paul Miller. Miller, who served as pastor of Solid Rock Church in Market Common, claims to have "350 pieces" of evidence regarding his wife's death, which occurred on April 27, 2024, in a North Carolina state park. In his latest TikTok video, Miller stated that he would release new videos every few days, detailing information about Mica's death and their relationship. "You're going to be shocked at some of the things that Mica says," Miller claimed, adding that his silence so far was "nothing more than wisdom and self-control so that we can win the war that is up ahead." Mica Miller was found with a gunshot wound to her head in Lumber River State Park. Despite the Robeson County Sheriff's Department ruling her death a suicide, online chatter and conspiracy theories have proliferated. The case has drawn widespread attention, particularly through the hashtag #justiceformica, as friends, family, and church members speculate on the circumstances surrounding her death. Mica's family, represented by attorney Regina Ward, held a press conference on June 5, 2024, outside the Horry County Courthouse. They announced plans to push for legislative changes to a 2021 domestic violence bill, advocating for it to be renamed "Mica's Law." The family's press conference followed a hearing that granted them the rights to Mica's belongings. "It is crucial that we address the gaps in our domestic violence laws to prevent tragedies like Mica's from happening again," Ward stated. John-Paul Miller has denied allegations of abuse, stating in his video, "She has never once been abused as long as she has been married to me." He referred further questions to his attorney, Russell Long, who did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The Robeson County Sheriff's Office and the FBI have been involved in the investigation, with federal assistance requested for matters unrelated to Mica's death. Sheriff Burnis Wilkins clarified in a statement, "Based on the information gathered during the investigation and jurisdiction reasons, the Sheriff's Office has requested the assistance of both agencies. No other information will be released at this time." Despite this, some members of the public remain skeptical, fueled by details such as a 911 call Mica made before her death. During the call, Mica told the dispatcher, “I'm about to kill myself, and I just want my family to know where to find me,” before hanging up. This call, along with surveillance footage showing Mica purchasing a gun earlier that day, formed the basis of the official ruling of suicide. However, Mica's family disputes this conclusion. They have pointed to her statements about feeling threatened, including finding a GPS tracker on her car and a razor blade on her tire shortly before her death. The case has also highlighted the online community's role in driving public interest and speculation. TikTok users have been particularly active, with accounts like #justiceformica, run by Mica's sister Sierra Francis, posting alleged threatening messages from John-Paul Miller. "Unfortunately, rumors and conspiracy theories were spreading quickly," Sheriff Wilkins said in a May press release. "However, in the end, we must make decisions based on the facts and evidence that have been gathered." As the investigation continues, the public remains divided, with many demanding further transparency and justice for Mica Miller. Her death, surrounded by a web of online speculation and familial allegations, underscores the complexities and emotional toll of such tragic events. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Griff Jenkins calls in to The Marc Cox Show to discuss various topics including the upcoming Supreme Court case on presidential immunity, the Biden administration's immigration policies, and an upcoming national debate. The conversation provides insights into these important issues from different perspectives.

 On The Marc Cox Show, attorney Beavis Shock discusses St. Louis residents' ability to claim earnings tax refunds for remote work during the pandemic and a case challenging the city's lottery program for COVID relief funds. Shannon Bream, host of Fox News Sunday, joins Cox to talk about legal challenges to President Biden's immigration actions and key upcoming Supreme Court cases. Griff Jenkins also calls in to discuss the Supreme Court case on presidential immunity, Biden's immigration policies, and other national issues, offering diverse perspectives on these topics.

On today's episode, we delve into Washington State's contentious 'Parents' Bill of Rights,' facing legal hurdles for potentially leading to school discrimination. The new law, set to empower parents over their children's curriculum and health records, is challenged by a coalition including the ACLU, claiming it's unconstitutional and vague. The case, heading to court, could reshape parental involvement in education.Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed SB 2749, bolstering parents' rights in guiding their children's upbringing, education, and health care, and elevating these rights to the level of free speech and religion. The bill aims to curb government overreach, but also sparks debate on the extent of parental control, particularly concerning the health care of minors, amid concerns about the potential for medical decisions that could harm children's well-being.In California, a proposed measure requiring schools to notify parents if their child wishes to change their gender identity failed to qualify for the ballot. The initiative, which also sought to ban transgender girls from participating in female sports and restrict gender-affirming surgeries for minors, fell short by over 146,000 signatures. Opponents argued it threatened the safety of transgender youth in non-supportive households.Support the Show.DONATE TODAY!www.ParentsRightsInEducation.com

The New Hampshire Senate has passed HB1205, which restricts transgender girls from participating in girls' sports in public schools from grades 5 to 12. The bill, supported by Republicans and opposed by Democrats, also prohibits athletic associations like the NHIAA from addressing complaints about gender segregation enforcement in sports. Additionally, it allows students harmed by non-compliance to sue schools. Governor Sununu has expressed agreement with the bill's goals but has not confirmed if he will sign it. Advocates urge the public to contact the Governor's office to support the bill.The Cobb County School Board in Georgia, facing backlash for removing books with sexually explicit content from school libraries, has stood firm. Since September 2023, when explicit materials were first removed, critics have pushed to oust Superintendent Chris Ragsdale. Despite this, in early 2024, the board reviewed 23 additional books for explicit content. Superintendent Ragsdale maintains a strict stance against such materials in education, emphasizing a moral binary in the debate. Supporters are urged to contact him and board members to express backing.A federal appeals court ruled that Maryland's Montgomery County Public Schools do not have to let parents opt their K-5 children out of LGBTQ-related curriculum. The 2-1 decision by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court's denial of a preliminary injunction, arguing that exposure to contrary ideas, even for religious reasons, does not violate the First Amendment. The court stated that this exposure is part of the compromise of public schooling. This decision affects parents from various faiths and a parental rights group.California's Assembly Bill 1955, introduced by Assemblyman Chris Ward, prohibits school districts from mandating staff to notify parents if a student appears to be transgender. This bill aims to prevent "forced outing" of LGBTQ students and protect employees from district retaliation. It includes provisions for counseling and mental health services for affected students and families. Having undergone significant amendments, AB1955 will require further approvals in both the Senate and Assembly before potentially being signed by the governor.Affiliate Shoutout: Sara Olsen Local Affiliate Leader Affiliate Location: Galesville Ettrick Trempealeau, Wisconsin  Bio: Sara became a PRE affiliate because her goal is to leave a legacy not only for her kids and future grandkids but for all kids!

The Grants Pass School Board is updating its policy on parental rights to align with the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA). The revised policy, which was discussed in a second reading and vote, ensures parents can request educational materials, excuse students from specific activities, and access syllabi and reading lists.

Tensions rose after the 2022 ban on teaching Critical Race Theory (CRT) by three newly elected conservative board members. A lawsuit by students, parents, and the teachers' union seeks to overturn the ban. Supporters of the ban, like parent Daniel Molina, argue for local control, while opponents, including father Dave Berry, worry about the restrictive impact on teachers.

The policy grants parents the ability to restrict book access, opt out of certain topics, and receive notifications on bullying, suicidal intent, academic achievement, and sexual transitioning. Concerns about LGBTQ student safety and potential lawsuits were raised.

Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders issued an executive order directing state institutions to ignore the Biden administration's new Title IX rules, which expand sex discrimination definitions to include sexual orientation and gender identity. Sanders criticized these rules as "plainly ridiculous" and harmful to women's sports and private spaces. She emphasized upholding state law and threatened legal action against federal financial penalties. This follows similar actions by Texas Governor Abbott and highlights growing state-level opposition to federal mandates in education. Sanders urges local institutions to reject the revisions and parents to actively engage with their school districts.At least 15 states have sued the Biden administration over changes to Title IX, which now include gender identity under sex discrimination protections. Critics, such as the Oklahoma State Superintendent, call this move radical and illegal, arguing it unfairly impacts women's sports and safety. The lawsuits highlight the clash between federal overreach and state laws, with states like Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, and others maintaining laws requiring restroom use based on biological sex. Some states also protect teachers and students from penalties for not using preferred pronouns. This issue, escalating to a national crisis, underscores the conflict over parents' rights and federal mandates.New Hampshire's SB341, which aimed to improve parent-school relationships by requiring teacher disclosures, narrowly failed in the House with a 185-176 vote. Republican Sen. Tom Lang, the bill's sponsor, expressed disappointment, noting the ongoing divisiveness between parents and schools. The bill sought to address concerns of parents feeling disenfranchised by schools.Call to Action: Support HB1312, which mandates school districts to notify parents about changes in students' mental and emotional well-being and curricula covering sexuality, gender, or sexual education.

Gov. Greg Abbott has instructed the Texas Education Agency to disregard new Biden administration Title IX rules that extend sex discrimination protections to include LGBTQ+ students. The revised rules, effective August, redefine discrimination to cover gender identity, among other updates. Abbott criticizes this as a move that protects male athletes identifying as female over biological females, arguing it misinterprets the original intent of Title IX, which was to protect women from sex-based discrimination.Ohio's House Bill 8, initially aimed at parental notification of sexually explicit materials in schools, has been amended to be more stringent. Now termed "sexuality content," it includes any sexual concepts or "gender ideology." The bill now also requires schools to inform parents if a student identifies with a gender different from their biological sex, removing previous exceptions for suspected abuse and neglect. Parental consent is mandated for all school-provided health care.Link to education committee contact information: https://ohiohouse.gov/committees/primary-and-secondary-educationNew Hampshire's House Bill 1312, aiming to expand parental rights in education, narrowly passed the House and is under Senate review. It requires a two-week notification for teachings on human sexuality, including terms related to gender and sexual orientation. Critics argue the bill is overly broad and could harm LGBTQIA students by potentially fostering dishonesty between educators and parents. Proponents believe it ensures parental oversight on sensitive subjects. Critics, including teacher unions, warn it may limit educators' ability to provide a full academic experience.Affiliate ShoutoutMichelle Cunney Affiliate Location: City Grayslake, Illinois Bio: Michelle Cunney has been instrumental in spreading our mission and has helped us gain more affiliates!Thank you Michelle for protecting K-12 students by standing up for parents' rights!Support the Show.DONATE TODAY!www.ParentsRightsInEducation.com

America First Legal (AFL) has disclosed documents from a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), revealing efforts by Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine to transform healthcare data collection concerning sex and gender identity. The documents detail a taxpayer-funded presentation advocating for nonbinary sex classification, part of a broader strategy by the Biden Administration to redefine statistical and legal concepts of gender under federal health policies. This initiative involves 19 federal health entities and has been criticized for using public funds to support what some view as a radical alteration of established biological and health standards.New Hampshire's SB 341, a bill mandating school employees to fully and truthfully answer parental inquiries about their children, has divided House lawmakers, resulting in a 10-10 vote. The bill sparked significant opposition, with over 30 people, including representatives from teacher unions and the ACLU, testifying against it due to concerns about potentially forcing teachers to disclose students' sexual orientations or gender identities prematurely. Proponents, like Rep. Arlene Quaratiello, argue the bill simply enforces honesty in communication. The bill, unresolved in the House Education Committee, is set for a future full House vote.New Hampshire Senate passed SB 375, a bill to segregate interscholastic and collegiate sports by biological sex, following a 14-10 party-line vote. The legislation, now before the House Education Committee, drew sharp criticism from State Senator Debra Altschiller who labeled it as violent against transgender youth. Conversely, Senate President Jeb Bradley supported the bill, citing incidents involving transgender athletes causing injuries in sports as justification. Critics, including Democrats in the Senate, have dismissed these injury reports as exaggerated fears. Supporters of the bill argue it protects the integrity and safety of women's sports in New Hampshire.At a Massachusetts drag queen story hour, a drag queen led a chant of "Free Palestine," sparking controversy.

In Portland, parents filed a lawsuit against the Portland Association of Teachers for over $100 million, citing a November 2023 strike that led to nearly a month of school closures for 44,000 students. The suit claims the strike was illegal under Oregon law, which limits strikes to mandatory bargaining subjects. Parents allege severe disruptions to their children's education and well-being, seeking compensation and legal measures to prevent future occurrences. The lawsuit was initiated by attorneys Patrick Hughes and Daniel Suhr, known for their significant legal battles in Supreme Court cases.The complaint can be viewed here.For GLSEN's 2024 Day of Silence, the theme is "Rise Up, Take Action," encouraging students to actively fight censorship and discrimination rather than remaining silent. Resources include participating in the Rainbow Writes Award, joining the GLSEN Youth Membership, taking the National Student Council Survey, hosting events, and leveraging ACLU resources against LGBTQ+ discrimination in schools. Critics argue this promotes activism over education. Parents are urged to review school materials for activist content.In Sherwood, Oregon, transgender high school athlete Aayden Gallagher sparked controversy by winning a girls' track event, outrunning biologically female competitors. Critics, including former NCAA champion Riley Gaines, accused adults involved of promoting unfair competition. The incident raises questions about the Oregon School Activities Association's policies on trans athletes, which aim to balance gender identity respect with fair competition. Debate intensifies over whether biological males should compete in female sports.Contact Portland Public School's Title IX Program Manager and explain your concern with the policy:Liane O'Banion lobanion@pps.net 503-568-2646In Osseo, Minnesota, hundreds of students opted out of a school lesson on LGBTQIA+ history and culture, following the school board's progressive "LGBTQIA+ History and Culture Resolution." The community has shown significant pushback against the resolution, which includes recognizing Pride Month and supporting gender-affirming practices.

In January 2023, the New York legislature passed a proposed Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) for the second time, setting a ballot date for November 2024. The amendment seeks to ban discrimination based on various identifiers including sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity, among others. Proponents emphasize its potential to enhance abortion access post-Roe v. Wade. Critics, however, argue that the ERA could also advance gender ideology and weaken parental rights by enabling minors to access gender-affirming treatments without parental consent. They express concern that this could include treatments as significant as puberty blockers and genital surgery, facilitated by a broad interpretation of "person" in existing laws which include minors. Critics urge public awareness of these implications before the vote.The Louisiana House Committee on Education recently advanced House Bill 121, termed the "Given Name Act," which mandates the use of transgender and nonbinary students' birth names and pronouns in public K-12 schools, barring written permission from parents. This bill, passed along a 9-3 party-line vote, also allows school employees to refuse using certain pronouns contrary to their religious or moral beliefs. Further, it includes provisions for parents to request a teacher transfer if there's a disagreement on pronoun use based on teacher's convictions. The bill has been amended and progresses through the House, urging public engagement and monitoring.In Montana, a lawsuit has been filed by students, educators, and organizations challenging the 2021 law mandating parental notification 48 hours before discussing "human sexuality" in schools. The plaintiffs argue the law is vague, stifling free speech and educational quality, and threatens privacy and due process rights under the state Constitution. They contend the law prevents open dialogue on topics like gender identity and sexual health, limiting educational opportunities and potentially exposing LGBTQ+ students to further discrimination and bullying. Montana's government defends the law as protecting parental rights to oversee their children's exposure to sexually explicit content.Support the showDONATE TODAY!www.ParentsRightsInEducation.com

San Francisco's Board of Supervisors issued a formal apology to African Americans and their descendants for the city's history of racism and discrimination, acknowledging systemic injustices and targeted violence. This marks the first reparations recommendation out of over 100 proposals, suggesting a $5 million lump-sum payment and a substantial yearly income for eligible Black adults to address the city's racial wealth disparities. However, Mayor London Breed advocates for national-level reparations, and while San Francisco's apology aligns with similar actions by other cities and states, concrete steps toward reparations remain pending. Nine states have also formally apologized for slavery, according to the resolution. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As the new year rang in, a significant shift in policy came into effect, an initiative that Governor Gavin Newsom publicized. This initiative made individuals who are in the country without a valid immigration status eligible for health care benefits without any cost. Responding to an atmosphere where the complexities of immigration continue to be intensely scrutinized, the state took this step. Such a move allows every resident the right to health, regardless of their immigration status. Gov. Newsom, showing empathy for all, made way for the policy implementation, expanding the healthcare landscape for everyone residing within the state boundaries. This bold act by Gov. Newsom has sparked much discussion and debate, while also attracting a particular set of individuals to the state - those finding themselves tangled within the legal complexities of immigration statuses. Recent incidents have further ignited this debate when four individuals, whose immigration status was under question, were detained, only to be later discharged without bail. These individuals were accused of assaulting law enforcement personnel in New York City and had since apparently escaped to California. Pushing the boundaries of conventional laws, these individuals seem to have taken advantage of the laid-back legalities in California. The fact that they were released without bail in the first place seemed to be a testament to the prevailing law enforcement strategies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A federal judge in Texas suspended approval of the abortion pill. The Left is freaking out over this issue as usual. The talking point we hearing from Democrats so often is that abortion is to be considered reproductive rights. They claim that abortion is reproductive ‘health care'. Mike debates a woman who claims to be a conservative Republican, but is pro choice on the issue of abortion.

Over the next few weeks, The Front Page is revisiting some of the major stories we covered in 2022.   Over the last year, the divide between rural and urban New Zealand has only seemed to widen. There was no better example of that than an episode of Country Calendar. In the episode, businessman Geoff Ross sparked heated debate when detailed some of his more unconventional approaches to farming, including switching music in the wool shed from AC/DC to Vivaldi in an attempt to improve animal welfare. So why was this so controversial, and what did a seemingly harmless TV show expose our rural realities in 2022?  NZX head of insights and rural analyst Julia Jones joined us earlier in July and pointed out that the kerfuffle surrounding the TV show was reflective of a fear of change.   Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts.

There has been a lot of discussion about transgender athletes in recent months, from Lia Thomas's success as a swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania, to state legislatures working overtime to keep transgender kids off the field and the court. Sometimes it seems like much of the discussion is more about the politics than the people who are actually affected. We wanted to talk about transgender athletes, remembering that these are kids and young adults that in many cases are being used to score political points. Our guest is Anne Lieberman, Director of Policy and Programs at Athlete Ally, an organization whose stated mission is to educate and activate athletic communities to eliminate homophobia and transphobia in sports.

Monday on Political Rewind: Sen. Amy Klobuchar is in Atlanta today to hold a field hearing on the impact of Georgia's new election law on voters of color. As chair of the Senate Rules Committee, Klobuchar is convening the first field hearing of her group outside of Washington in decades. It's unlikely that any Republicans on the committee will attend the hearing, which Klobuchar hopes will shine a spotlight on the need to pass a federal voting rights act. Meanwhile, Georgia Republicans are doing a bit of counterprogramming today. At the same time of the Klobuchar event, GOP House leaders are holding a committee hearing to look at rising violent crime in Atlanta. And Gov. Brian Kemp has scheduled a conference call with reporters to defend the new election law. Plus, a federal judge rules that President Barack Obama exceeded his legal authority in creating the DACA program. What does it mean for the future of those protected by DACA — and for future applicants? Panelists: Rep.

Dr. Paul Polgar explains how the nation moved from very limited anti-slavery sentiment before the 1760s to a more vibrant anti-slavery posture in the 1780s and 1790s. He describes the difference between those who were against the Atlantic slave trade and those that had moral and economic arguments to end slavery. The talk covers early manumission laws and how the political creed of the American Revolution had an impact on the anti-slavery movement. Dr. Polgar is an expert on the 1790 Congressional debate on slavery and race. He explains the petitions that were brought by the Pennsylvania Abolition Society and the Quakers. He covers the pro-slavery argument of those in the states more dependent on slavery such as South Carolina and Georgia. Polgar includes an explanation of the role some of the Founding Fathers played in the early debate to end slavery to include Franklin, Hamilton and Washington. He finishes with a discussion on how the later abolition societies benefited from the early arguments and work of the individuals in the Revolutionary period.HOST: Rob MellonFEATURED BREW: Goose Oktoberfest, Goose Island Beer CompanyBOOK: Standard-Bearers of Equality: America's First Abolition Movementhttps://www.amazon.com/Standard-Bearers-Equality-Abolition-Published-University/dp/1469653931MUSIC: Bones Forkhttps://bonesfork.com/

There’s no doubt that George Floyd’s brutal death in police custody last month has ignited a mass protest movement on a scale not seen since the 1960s. But it remains to be seen just what kind of change will come to pass. WBGO contributor Bob Hennelly, who is also a reporter with the City Hall reporter for the Chief Leader, has been covering the issue of race and policing for the last 30 years.   Hennelly spoke with WBGO News Director Doug Doyle. DOYLE:   In the Floyd case the officers were fired, arrested and charged. HENNELLY: That is unusual. Police officers in the United States have tremendous legal advantages and protections under the law. They have of course sovereign immunity which goes back to the concept in common law which goes back to the concept of the king can do no harm. It’s hard to prosecute the government. Then there is qualified immunity which is the legal concept that police can’t be held legally liable for violating someone’s civil rights and if that is not enough

In today’s discussion, Tom Vander Ark is speaking with Dr. Eric Tucker, the co-founder and Executive Director of the Brooklyn Laboratory Charter School. Brooklyn Labs is a next-generation college-preparatory 6–12 public charter school that prepares scholars with the academic foundation, digital literacy, and leadership skills necessary to succeed in college and professional life. Recently, Eric created a 10-point plan based on insights and resources from practitioners and experts to help educators reimagine and strengthen education systems. In particular, it was created to encourage school and system leaders to consider how the needs of people of color and individuals with disabilities will be affected by re-entry.   In Tom and Eric’s discussion today, Eric recalls how debate changed his academic trajectory, as well as how he overcame learning disabilities and earned a doctorate at Oxford. They also discuss how Brooklyn Lab responded to the closure of schools and, of course, their 10-point plan for reopening schools with safety and equity in mind! (If you want to tune in specifically for the 10-point plan you can jump forward to minute twenty!)   Key Takeaways: [:10] About today’s episode! [:43] Tom welcomes Eric Tucker to the podcast. [:50] Eric shares why he studied Africana studies at Brown University in ’98. [2:22] Where did Eric’s appreciation for debate come from? And when did it start? [5:30] How and when did Eric end up at Oxford getting his master’s in education research methodology and his doctorate in measurement? [7:23] After leading the National Debate organization and doing a few other things, Eric had an idea of starting a new kind of school in the heart of Brooklyn. Eric tells the origin story of Brooklyn Lab. [10:44] Now a well-known school, Brooklyn Lab serves a diverse group of students. Eric touches on this fact and elaborates on the unique needs of the student population. [15:44] Eric speaks about how they make 1:1 and small group tutoring a priority at Brooklyn Lab. [18:15] Jessica shares an important resource with listeners: the Getting Through microsite. [18:55] Eric provides some reflections on what’s currently happening at Brooklyn Lab concerning the COVID-19 pandemic. [25:50] Eric begins to speak about their 10-point plan for reopening schools with safety and equity in mind. [30:14] Eric highlights some of the permutations that they’re looking at, at Brooklyn Labs, in terms of potential reopening scenarios. [34:49] Eric summarizes their approach to budgeting and staffing when it comes to reopening schools. [39:42] Eric speaks about what the first week back at school might look like and what he encourages school leaders to be thinking about. [43:29] In the 7th and 8th point in the plan, they speak about using data to improve continuity as well as reimagining approaches to core services. Eric further elaborates on these points. [47:52] In the last two points of their 10-point plan, Tom and Eric encourage school and system leaders to iterate and communicate and to consider the worst but model the best. Eric elaborates on what he meant by “consider the worst” and gives his thoughts on how we should think about future possibilities and factor them into our plans while continuing to forge ahead. [52:40] Tom thanks Eric for taking the initiative to launch the 10-point plan and for joining the podcast! [53:22] Eric signs off the podcast and shares his appreciation for Tom’s leadership and the Getting Through microsite.   Mentioned in This Episode: GettingSmart.com/GettingThrough Brooklyn Laboratory Charter School “How to Reopen Schools: A 10-Point Plan Putting Equity at the Center,” by Eric Tucker and Tom Vander Ark i-Ready WAMAP National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD)   Want to Hear More?

All eyes will be on Georgia as Gov. Brian Kemp intends to start re-opening his state to business as soon as Friday, April 24. Gyms, barber shops, bowling alleys can re-open although they will still have to practice social distancing and screen people for fever and respiratory issues. Dine-in restaurants and theaters can open Monday and state-wide stay-at-home orders expire at the end of the month. Public health officials have questioned if it is too early, but it is a difficult balance between health and business. James Hohmann- national political correspondent at The Washington Post, joins us for how Georgia will re-open. Next, for the first time ever in trading, U.S. oil prices dipped into negative territory on Monday. Companies had to pay to get rid of the over supply of oil, but this doesn't mean that you'll get paid to take gasoline off someones hands. We might see some modest savings in the next few days and weeks, but the big questions remains, what to do with all the extra oil. The administration is planning to add millions of barrels to the nations reserve. Amy Harder, energy reporter at Axios, joins us for more. Finally, President Trump is suspending U.S. immigration for 60 days, citing the coronavirus crisis and jobs shortage. The thought process behind this is that it will limit the number of people coming from global hotspots and relieve pressure on the healthcare system, but it will also limit job competition from immigrants. While there has already been a lot going on with travel restrictions, slowed visas processing, and barring asylum seekers, this new action will most likely face some type of legal challenge. Gabby Orr, White House Reporter at Politico, joins us for new immigration orders.

Shaquille O'Neal opens the show with an uncharacteristic rant about politics, namely the NFL player who made some controversial comments about the President this week. Shaq and John also launch into a heated debate about LeBron's ambassadorship of the league and how he's trying to lead younger players. We also get Shaq's raw emotions on people overseas who are intentionally spreading germs in the wake of the coronavirus. Plus we talk about Shaq's TNT stumble, his daughter Me'arah's dunk on a 10 foot rim, and the national debate about Red Vines versus Twizzlers that Shaq started on TNT this week. We take a lot of text to the show on the Mint Mobile show phone, of course we get Borderline, and we play a round of the classic Walmart or Waffle House.

Links Economic Impact of Sentencing Reform Act Initiatives on the Economy, David Hughes, Ph.D, Clemson University, Clemson Institute for Economic and Community Development, 2.28.14 (PDF, South Carolina State House) Based on a 2011 report conducted by the United States (U.S.) Government Accountability Office, and on data taken from a factsheet produced by the Children’s Defense Fund for South Carolina (2011), we estimated that 25 children are not in foster care and three children were not adopted out of foster care because of SRA initiatives. When we examine impacts of SRA initiatives implemented by the South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services for the three year period, the cumulative impact on the South Carolina economy is $50.896 million.

Garret S and Nicole discuss High Life, how wrong the critics were to praise the art of the film and ignore all its plot and thematic flaws, how little we can say about the movie because it made no sense, and the movie's discomforting portrayal of sex including rape and masturbation. We discuss some trigger warnings but prefer you not see the movie at all. Garret recommends the book Dead Man Walking: The Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty That Sparked a National Debate and Annihilation. Nicole recommends maternity pajamas. Even if you're not pregnant.

Zion Williamson's shoe-busting, knee-spraining spectacle less than a minute into the UNC game was the perfect storm of content creation for national discourse about Zion, Duke, the amateurism model and the NBA. But Parrish and Norlander do their best to cut through the obviousness and get to the things you might not have heard addressed. But also: Parrish got into a Twitter spat with Trae Young (23:00)! The guys also get into Norlander's powerful story about LSU succeeding despite losing a player to murder in the preseason (35:45) and wrap with a preview of six big games (42:05): Virginia-Louisville; Tennessee-LSU; Florida State-UNC; Duke-Syracuse; Kansas-Texas Tech; and Michigan State-Michigan.  Learn more about your ad choices.

To satisfy the yellow vests, Emmanuel Macron launched his Grand National Debate.

Recorded in Paris, 12 January 2019

Studies show that mainstream and social media influence our daily decisions; what to buy, how to vote and even how to treat people or view society. We're increasingly relying on social networks as our source of news – is this trend reducing the power and influence of owners of the major news outlets? A panel discusses what can be done to reduce the impact of fake news, and ensure reporting is unbiased; leaving consumers, voters and viewers to form their own opinions. Panellists include Claire Fox (Academy of Ideas), Janine Gibson (Buzzfeed), and Fatima Manji (Channel 4), chaired by Tazeen Ahmad.

A panel explores how class affects our chosen path in life, and how easy is it to break out of the social hierarchy. Is the class system still relevant in 21st-century Britain? The National Theatre presents a debate inspired by the production of Saint George and the Dragon. Speakers include Dawn Foster (author of Lean Out), Abid Hussain (Director of Diversity, Arts Council England), David Lammy MP, Mike Savage (Martin White Professor of Sociology, LSE), and chaired by Guardian joint Political Editor Anushka Asthana.

The Las Vegas, Nevada shooting is deservedly getting a lot of attention due to the mass carnage the shooter perpetrated upon innocent victims. The victims' families need our prayers and support. However, after all of the dust settles, America needs to have a NATIONAL DEBATE over another kind of mass destruction--ABORTION--that occurs BY THE THOUSANDS DAILY with little-to-no media coverage. This week the US House of Representatives passed H.R. 36--a ban on abortion-killing after 20 weeks and an effective BAN ON WEAPONS OF MASS ABORTION. The measure now moves to the US Senate. Join Mark Harrington as he shows an animation of how these weapons work (a real video of abortion would get us banned from Facebook) and calls for Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to ABANDON the 60-vote rule in order to pass this important ban on these weapons of mass abortion. Mark also shares the good news that Ohio’s (Created Equal’s home state) abortion rate is at a 40-year low. Take Action: Contact Senator Mitch McConnell (202) 224-2541 and demand he suspend the arcane filibuster rule NOW in order to save preborn lives. You can watch The Mark Harrington Show LIVE every Thursday at 1pm ET on Created Equal Facebook, Twitter and YouTube accounts. If you can't catch him live, you can subscribe to Mark via podcast to listen any time!

We got thrills, spills, and chills. Well, at least we got rhyming... We feature great musicians, and better people, The Family Business as our musicians on this week's Artist Corner! Trevor Noah has a great uncut rant against Donald Trump, and Juggernaut approves this message. A lot of organizations are pulling out of North Carolina due to the HB2 legislation that was passed this year in support of the LGBTQ community. North Korea is testing nuclear weapons and making some pretty big dents in the earth while doing so, should we be scared? Third party candidates Jill Stein and Gary Johnson did not make the 15% of the polls in order to be considered for the National Debate. We discuss how the media goes a little haywire on a 4th grade teacher in Atlanta, and wonder what type of wardrobe is "too sexy" for the classroom?

This week we try and update where the Land Reform legislation is. We also touch on the National ( the newspaper ) Debate and what is happening to the Tories ; north and south.

National Debate champ and championship coach Glenn Prince joins me to talk about the many debates about debating!
