On this week's Mentioned in Dispatches podcast, Tim Halstead discusses the connections between London schools and the Territorial Force during the Great War. While the contribution of Public Schools to the Officer Corps is well known, this talk focuses on the less-explored role of Grammar Schools. Drawing on Rolls of Service from both school types in and around London, Halstead sheds light on their strong links to specific regiments and their wider wartime influence. This talk was part of the London Pride Conference held in June 2024.

We start by focusing on the ongoing debate around school vouchers in Ohio, particularly as the state legislature is poised to debate the new budget bill, which proposes cuts to public school funding while simultaneously increasing financial support for private institutions. We clarify how these so-called "scholarships" are essentially vouchers that funnel taxpayer dollars into private religious schools, often in direct violation of the constitutional separation of church and state. Currently, despite 90% of students attending public schools, nearly $900 million has been funneled into private school vouchers, highlighting a bizarre funding disparity that raises questions about equity and accountability.There are stark statistics illustrating that the majority of voucher funds benefit families already enrolled in private institutions. This misleading premise of "school choice" is particularly concerning for low-income families and those in rural areas, where no private options are available. Then we look at the ramifications of the 2010 Citizens United Supreme Court decision, elucidating how it has contributed to the erosion of our democracy and facilitated the ascent of figures like Donald Trump. The decision has fundamentally altered campaign finance laws, allowing unlimited corporate spending in elections, which has skewed the political landscape in favor of wealthy interests and diluted the voices of the average citizen.We discuss the broader implications of campaign finance reforms, the necessity for rigorous regulations to ensure that the influence of money doesn't overshadow the democratic process. We advocate for constitutional amendments that clarify the rights of corporations versus individuals to establish a fairer electoral landscape.Full Show Notes & Links UsedSend us a textSupport the showSubscribe to our free newsletterCheck out our MerchFollow us on BlueskyFind us on Twitter(for now) Find us on InstagramFind us on Counter SocialFind us on Mastadon

247: Did you know public schools serve more meals than any restaurant chain in America? And yet, many of those meals come from fast food giants instead of farms. This week, I'm joined by the CEO of Real Certified—a company on a mission to change that. Through their initiative Eat Real, they're working with school districts to replace ultra-processed cafeteria food with fresh, locally-sourced meals that kids actually enjoy. In this episode, you'll learn how Real Certified is empowering parents, partnering with real farmers, and making it easier than ever for schools to serve real, nutritious food. If you've ever looked at your child's lunch tray and thought, “There has to be a better way,” this conversation is your answer. Topics Discussed:  How can parents help improve school lunches in public schools? What is the Eat Real program and how does it work in school cafeterias? Why are ultra-processed foods still being served in American school lunches? What are the health impacts of poor nutrition in school-aged children? How can schools transition from processed food to real, locally-sourced meals?

Public schools are essential for democracy—and they're under attack. But the very policies that are being championed as their salvation may have a catastrophic impact on American education for generations. Public education advocate and historian Diane Ravitch unpacks how school choice policies like vouchers and charter schools are dangerous for democracy. Diane Ravitch is a former assistant secretary in the United States Department of Education. She is the author of several books on the history and policy of American public schools. Her memoir, about her life as a leading public education reformer, will be published this fall. It's called An Education: How I Changed My Mind About Almost Everything. https://dianeravitch.net/

When the Association for Cuyahoga County Employees for Special Students (ACCESS) sat down at the bargaining table a few years ago, they were told, 'if you don't like it here, you can leave.' In that moment, ACCESS leaders said, 'if we don't like it here, we can make it better.' And that's what they did - nearly going out on strike to achieve those critically important gains in their contract. In this episode, we hear from ACCESS Co-President Ky Theophanous about his journey to leadership, that 2023 bargaining crisis, and how it brought the members of his local association together to better advocate for themselves and for the individuals they serve through the Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental Disabilities today.READ THE STORY IN OHIO SCHOOLS | Parts of this conversation with Ky Theophanous were featured in the April/May 2025 edition of OEA's Ohio Schools magazine.

He's covered wrongdoing within the child welfare system, safety lapses inside hospitals, and deadly failures in the US Navy.

So like any investigative journalist, he started investigating, and his reporting about the growing divides in his neighborhood soon led him to the public schools.As more than a dozen states sue the Trump administration over its policies aimed at ending public schools' diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, More To The Story host Al Letson talks with Hixenbaugh about how America's public schools have become “a microcosm” for the country's political and cultural fights—“a way of zooming in deep into one community to try to tell the story of America.”Producer: Josh Sanburn | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Digital producer: Nikki Frick | Interim executive producers: Brett Myers and Taki Telonidis | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al LetsonListen: The Culture War Goes to College (Reveal)Read: At the Heritage Foundation, the Anti-DEI Crusade Is Part of a Bigger War (Mother Jones)Read: They Came for the Schools: One Town's Fight Over Race and Identity, and the New War for America's Classrooms, by Mike HixenbaughNote: If you buy a book using our Bookshop link, a small share of the proceeds supports our journalism.Listen: Southlake/Grapevine podcasts (NBC News) Donate today at Revealnews.org/more Subscribe to our weekly newsletter at Revealnews.org/weekly Follow us on Instagram @revealnews Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Sometimes those memories are about how they led their classes, making everyone feel accepted and valued, and sometimes we recall a humorous moment, or maybe a hat or other accessory that became that teacher's "brand."  More often, however, we look back fondly on how that teacher made us feel, what he or she did to help us learn, or the way their concern and understanding was conveyed to us. If you are a great teacher now, you are also building a storehouse of memories. Thank you.  If you don't serve in a teaching role, you know someone who does, regardless of their job title.

The Supreme Court is hearing two cases this month regarding religion in public schools that seem to contradict each other—a public school in Maryland where parents claim books with LGBTQ characters or themes are indoctrination, and a Catholic charter school in Oklahoma arguing it has the right to state funding.

Kate and Leah recap oral arguments in two big cases the Supreme Court heard this week. The first is about LGBTQ+ inclusive reading materials in public schools, and the second is about the Affordable Care Act's mechanism for ensuring preventative care. There are also developments in the Alien Enemies Act litigation, and a devastating, if predictable, executive order targeting the Civil Rights Act.

Argues tax dollars fund dysfunctional systems, with “stupid” people defending ineffective programs.* Food and Health Costs (00:12:26 - 00:15:01): Discussion of the high cost of healthy food (e.g., pasture-raised eggs with orange yolks) and the hosts' ignorance of real food until recently. Highlights societal reliance on processed, harmful products.* Propaganda and Media Control (00:18:49 - 00:20:21): Reflection on past media control (three TV stations, limited news outlets) enabling propaganda like margarine promotion and anti-fat narratives. Notes the pork industry's role in popularizing breakfast.* Autism and Big Pharma (00:23:19 - 00:24:45): RFK's promise to identify autism causes by September 2025, implying existing knowledge.

Links broken families to feminism and divorce culture.* Mount Rushmore of Idols to Smash (00:57:09 - 01:57:59)* Safety (Safetyism): Critiqued as an obsession with avoiding risk (e.g., COVID policies, school safety measures), harming development. Encourages calculated risks for growth.* Niceness: Condemned as a barrier to truth, especially in Christian contexts where uncomfortable conversations (e.g., confronting sin) are avoided. Contrasts niceness with kindness, requiring tough love.* Nostalgia: Challenges fixation on past events (e.g., slavery, civil rights, WWII, the Holocaust) across racial and cultural groups, arguing it traps people in outdated conflicts. Rejects both negative and positive nostalgia (e.g., 1950s) to focus on the present and Christ's return.* Feminism: Criticized for elevating women above biblical roles, leading to abortion, rejection of gender roles, child mutilation, divorce culture, and low testosterone in men. Notes cultural shifts toward traditional values, especially among young men in Christian ministries.* Spiritual Reflection and Closing (01:57:59 - 02:01:02)* Biblical call to action from Micah 5:13-15, urging the destruction of idols to prevent future generations from falling away.* Prayer for boldness to smash idols, follow Christ, and love God wholeheartedly.* Emphasis on tearing down “high places” (idolatrous structures) alongside returning to God.* Reminder that the devil exploits extreme reactions (e.g., feminism vs. misogyny), making Jesus the only true path.Notable Quotes:* “That's such garbage science that it's astounding.” (On red meat studies)* “If you worship women, you can say, well, this is for the benefit of women that I'm killing babies, 50% of which are women.” (On feminism and abortion)* “Nobody likes the guy who peaked in high school.” (On nostalgia)* “We can't just go back to God. We have to tear down the high places.” (On smashing idols)Call to Action:* Visit kingsplaining.com for new t-shirts.* Like, share, and subscribe to the podcast.* Tell a friend to join the “Rube Empire.”Closing: The episode blends humor, conviction, and provocation to challenge listeners to reject cultural idols, pursue Christ, and advance God's kingdom. The hosts' unapologetic style and biblical grounding frame their critique of modern society. This is a public episode.

This week the U.S. Supreme Court considered the application of the Free Exercise Clause to certain books read to elementary aged children as part of Maryland's public school curriculum for "story time." The case itself should be a warning to Christians. In 1901, Herman Bavinck explained what was going on by which he predicated the predicatment these parents find themselves in. The prophet Jeremiah tell us what we should and should not be doing if we want to see the situation change.
