Send us a textWhen ICE agents appear at elementary schools to terrorize children, we must confront a disturbing truth: America's immigration debate has never truly been about public safety. This eye-opening episode strips away the rhetoric to reveal what's actually driving our nation's immigration policy.Through powerful personal testimony, we hear from an undocumented immigrant who arrived in America at 17, received an education, and transformed into a respected educational leader who was four times named National Superintendent of the Year. This story illustrates what's possible when we choose compassion over cruelty, opportunity over exclusion. Yet as raids target churches, workplaces, and even elementary schools, it becomes impossible to maintain the fiction that enforcement is about protecting Americans from danger.The data tells a clear story: American citizens commit the vast majority of crimes in the United States. So why are we witnessing pregnant women in handcuffs and children left alone in immigration courts? Why are federal agents now hiding their faces behind masks during operations? Using what the host calls "the gift of interpretation," we decode the true conversation happening beneath the surface - one driven less by security concerns than by demographic anxieties and ideological agendas.The episode also examines how political figures deliberately manufacture immigration crises to advance their interests, deploying inflammatory language and tactics that create the disorder they claim to be fighting. From ICE raids in Los Angeles to the biblical commands regarding treatment of strangers, we explore how immigration enforcement has become a moral test that reveals our true national character.This isn't just another partisan take on immigration - it's a thoughtful examination of how Americans can see beyond tribal talking points to understand what's really happening in our communities. Listen now to gain a deeper understanding of one of America's most contentious and consequential debates. Support the show

Go Crickets!! ________________________________________ FocusED Show Notes with Joe Sanfelippo Joe wrote his new book as a legacy piece. Listen to what he says about his kids and leaving something behind. His insight about leading from a position of isolation is powerful. Joe sees a lot of leaders asking the same questions, that often have answers, but that everyone is asking in their own bubbles. Joe recommends balance in your emotional state when making decisions. You have to hear what he says about the highs and lows of school leadership. Joe talked about better student ownership through adult learning. When adults like what they're learning, they're more likely to translate that for kids. When it comes to “resources,” Joe says that teachers and leaders should have a core group to go to for reflection and support. Don't miss what Joe says about amplifying your school's message. Joe's final message about treating everything like it matters is inspiring. _____________________________________ Thanks for listening to FocusED, an educational leadership podcast brought to you by TheSchoolHouse302 @ theschoolhouse302.com where we publish free leadership content.

Hr 1: Shame on the U.S. Women's soccer team for disrespecting our flag and our president. Leave politics out of the game. And if you're going to represent the U.S., do it right or get out. With Kimberly Morin. Hr 2: Charter schools v. Public schools. Charter schools are NOT a free for all. AND... Do you know what the first book the Founding Fathers wanted taught in our schools? Hr 3: Remember when liberal mainstream media was screaming that the economy was going to tank under President Trump? AND... Guest, Caprice Young, Ed.D., National Superintendent of Learn4Life Schools, says, public schools shouldn't be afraid of charter competition. They should be afraid of children not receiving the best education possible. Public, government-run schools are not the best thing for every child.

Join Dr. Carlos as he delves into the tough theological questions and the answers from Christian Science with Don Ingwerson. As a Christian Scientist working as the Committee on Publication for Southern California, Don job is to advocate for Christian Science – not just legislatively – but also in public thought. And that's what my blogs have been doing – showing the link between the mental and the physical, and how important the spiritual is to the mental.I've been working as the Christian Science Committee on Publication for Southern California since 2006 and every year I find new opportunities to correct impositions on Christian Science (as directed by Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science).Before working as the Committee, I worked in the public education sector, where I had an opportunity to work with a wide variety of people to ensure education goals were met. I was honored as the Superintendent of Schools in Louisville, Kentucky and later named National Superintendent of the Year for America – where I was honored by former President George H. W. Bush at the White House. My last educational appointment prior to becoming a full-time practitioner was Superintendent of the Los Angeles County Office of Education, an office serving 84 school districts.

Join Dr. Carlos as he explores what Christian Science is with Don Ingerwerson. Hi, I'm Don Ingwerson! I blog on the importance of the link between thought, spirituality, and health. You can find my articles in a number of outlets, including Southern California Spanish media. I serve the public through this blogging and previously served the public in the education sector where I was the Superintendent of Schools in Louisville, Kentucky and Los Angeles County Superintendent in California. I've been honored as the National Superintendent of the Year for America where I was able to meet former President George H. W. Bush in a ceremony at the White House. Another honor I received was from the Governor of Kentucky, who named a state day after me, for the improvements I made in education for Kentucky.Right now I am the media and legislative liaison for Christian Science in the Southern California region. I have also served as prison chaplain and while in the military I served as a Christian Science chaplain's assistant.
