Her work now focuses on project-based learning designed to nurture curiosity, critical thinking, and intrinsic motivation in children.Jenna, a Registered Nurse and wellness educator, co-founded the school after recognizing similar systemic problems in healthcare and education. Her work helps integrate nature, hands-on learning, and whole-person wellbeing into the educational experience.Together, they're building a model where learning follows the child's interests through questioning, research, creation, and reflection. Their goal is to help children develop agency, curiosity, and the confidence to keep learning long after the classroom.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[03:40] How public school was designed to crush curiosity[21:31] The grief, the infinity fountain, and the 30-day scramble to open Infinity Academy[41:12] What is project-based learning, and what does it look like?[43:11] Why community beats homeschooling, and what learning looks like at the Academy[01:04:14] Teaching history without presenting it as an absolute truth[01:25:49] Sex ed, gender ideology, and the topics deliberately left to parents[01:48:48] Why "preparing kids for the real world" might be the wrong goal entirely[01:56:41] Advice for the single mom trapped in the public school systemLearn more from Gillian and Jenna:Infinity Education | WebsiteInfinity Education | InstagramInfinity Academy | WebsiteGillian Berard | Instagram Find more from Alec:Alec Zeck | InstagramAlec Zeck | XThe Way Forward | InstagramThe Way Forward is Sponsored By:RMDY Academy & Collective: Homeopathy Made AccessibleHigh-quality remedies and training to support natural healing.Enroll hereExplore here Paleovalley: 100% Grass-Fed Bone Broth Protein is a nutrient-dense, easy-to-digest source of collagen and essential amino acids.

This episode of Vermont Viewpoint was published 03/12/2026. Sen. Tanya Vyhovsky joins to talk about the ICE incident in South Burlington yesterday. Former Ag. Secretary Roger Allbee joins to talk about his new book, Turning the Soil 250 Years of Vermont Agriculture. VT Interfaith Action Exec Director joins to talk about her firsthand account of the ICE incident.  Superintendent of Schools of WRVSU Jamie Kinnarney joins to talk about updates to act 73 related to education in the legislature.

Across the country, students are walking out of class to protest ICE and immigration enforcement but the real issue isn't free speech. The bigger question is why taxpayer-funded schools are becoming staging grounds for political activism.Today I'm talking about what these walkouts reveal about the state of public education, who's influencing our kids, and why parents need to start paying attention. If education isn't neutral—and it isn't—then we need to be asking who is shaping the worldview of the next generation.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

AI isn't coming. It's here. And it's already shaping your kids. While most parents are barely aware of what tools their children are using, classrooms are changing, homework is changing, and the way young people think and create is changing. The question isn't whether AI will be part of your family's future — it's whether you'll lead your home through it intentionally or let it shape your children unchecked. In this episode, we train fathers to think clearly about artificial intelligence: the real dangers, the subtle temptations, and the massive opportunities. What are teachers seeing in classrooms right now? How should Christian parents respond? And how do you disciple your children to use AI as a tool — not a crutch, not a shortcut, and not a master? Technology always discipled someone. The question is: will it disciple your kids… or will you? If you care about raising capable, honest, thinking adults in an AI-saturated world, this episode is for you.

That question sets the tone for this wide-ranging, funny, and thought-provoking episode of The Sandy Show, where Sandy and Tricia tackle everything from elite college admissions to celebrity chaos—with plenty of laughs along the way.The show opens with a jaw-dropping look at the hardest colleges in America to get into, where acceptance rates are so low they make winning the lottery feel reasonable. Sandy breaks down the numbers and sparks a real conversation about whether chasing prestige is worth the debt—or if trade schools and apprenticeships might actually be the smarter path to success

Have you noticed how often adults disagree with each other now?  People are losing trust in authority. Teachers say one thing. Experts say another. Social media says something completely different. And quietly, many parents are asking a question they never expected to ask: Who is shaping our children right now and can I protect them? Children may not follow the headlines or cultural debates, but they do feel the confusion around them. And when authority outside the home becomes uncertain, they instinctively look to the people closest to them for direction. Which means something important is happening right now. The world our children are growing up in is changing and we need to slow things down. For generations, parents could rely on the authority of the institutions around them. Schools reinforced what families taught at home. Communities shared similar expectations. Experts were generally trusted voices of guidance. But today, many parents sense that something feels different, and they are concerned. Experts disagree publicly. Cultural expectations are shifting quickly. And the voices shaping our children's thinking seem louder and more numerous than ever before. So where does that leave parents? In this episode of Equipped To Be, Connie Albers explores why parents must lead more intentionally in a culture where authority is increasingly distrusted and societal norms are breaking apart. Children may not understand the cultural shifts happening around them, but they absolutely feel the uncertainty. And when the world feels confusing, they instinctively look to the people closest to them. You, their parents! Connie shares why the home has never been more important and how parents can create stability for their children even when the culture around them feels unsettled. When authority outside the home weakens, the influence of parents does not shrink: it grows.

AI is writing essays. AI is passing exams. AI is graduating with honours. But what’s happening to our kids’ brains? When an MIT study found students who used ChatGPT had dramatically worse recall, headlines screamed: “AI is destroying intelligence.” The truth is more complicated — and more confronting. In this episode, Justin and Kylie unpack what AI is actually doing to developing brains, why schools may be accidentally making it worse, and the one rule every family needs before a child touches ChatGPT again. Because this isn’t about banning AI. It’s about protecting your child’s ability to think. KEY POINTS Brain first, then AI What EEG scans revealed about neural engagement Why students using AI first “never recovered” cognitively The alarming reality inside high schools and universities How over-reliance weakens critical thinking (even in doctors) The “forklift at the gym” analogy from Alfie Kohn Why productive struggle is essential for learning Practical scripts parents can use at home What schools should be doing differently QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Using AI to write for you is like bringing a forklift to the gym. The weights get lifted — but you don’t get stronger.” ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Create the Brain-First Rule. No AI use until your child has attempted the task independently. Normalise Productive Struggle. Remind them: frustration builds neural pathways. Use AI as a Challenger, Not a Writer. Instead of “Write this for me,” teach them to ask: “Ask me to explain my argument before giving feedback.” “Challenge my reasoning with three hard questions.” Model It Yourself. Let your kids see you think first, then refine with technology. Have the Long-Term Conversation. Ask: Do you want to think for yourself — or let a machine think for you?

In the previous episode (Ep771), I argued that if you want to know what has caused the chaos in our country, you need look no further than what is being taught in our public schools. This week, I provide the proof.

Episode 379 of RevolutionZ starts with some discussion of the savaging of the Iranian people before returning to our sequence of chapter excerpts from the forthcoming book, The Wind Cries Freedom to discuss experiences of education and economy in the participatory revolutionary struggles of the next American revolution. Trump represses and depots; bellows and bombs. Are we doomed to chase every new outrage, or can we build a unified movement that outlasts headlines and outmaneuvers chaos? Are we whacking moles, one by one, with us divided up like the moles are? With us atomized? Or are we united so as to collectively thrash the whole field of moles all together? One big struggle? Can we go from war talk and whiplash politics to a grounded strategy that links antiwar action, racial and gender justice, economic equity, anti-fascism, and environmental preservation into one big movement of movements to actually compound strength rather than splinter it?From that foray into foreign affairs made local, we present the 24th chapter of Miguel Guevara's oral history project. This time, he questions Bertrand Jagger, Bridget Knight, and Julius Rocker about education and then also economy. The interviewees and Miguel together discuss how universities trained obedience and optimized for fractured attentions were pushed toward a new mandate—curiosity, context, and courage. Communities opened public schools at night, turned libraries into festivals, and made classrooms into commons. Student strikes didn't just shut campuses down; they reopened them as shared spaces where teachers and students co-chaired sessions, set aims, and demanded preparation for balanced jobs that reject classist pipelines.Workplaces followed suit. Early co-ops that initially kept managerial habits learned that full irreversible transformation needs balanced jobs and self-managed decision-making. The critical breakthrough came when shops federated workers' councils, shared methods, provided mutual insurance, and spread solidarity across industries. Public services moved first, but hospitals, manufacturing, and large firms of diverse kinds developed cracks where new norms—solidarity, equity, transparency, diversity, ecological standards and especially self-management—took root.Throughout their interviews the interviewees describe their thoughts and feelings regarding on-going struggles and events. We hear about a long march through the economy to spread new remuneration norms and work roles inside firms and then to reorient allocation writ larger. Instead of markets that pit workers against consumers, and one another, we hear how councils began to plan together around need, capacity, and impact. Participatory budgeting simultaneously began to spread these habits in cities to turn policies into a public craft. The result, the interviewees explain, was a transitional landscape where two economies coexist:ed one clinging to ownership, profits, power, and spectacle, the other winning trust by delivering dignity, competence, equity, and shared voice. The discussions also address independent media, transforming institutions from the inside, and building new ones from scratch always with eyes on relentless outreach to ensure that the new can grow without being captured or bent out of shape by the old not yet entirely replaced.If building schools as commons and reconstructing jobs to only produce effectively but also ensure self management sounds like a future worth winning, perhaps hit follow and share this episode with fellow students, neighbors, friends, and/or workmates.Support the show

WELCOME TO THE HOMESCHOOL YO KIDS PODCAST Are you ready to take control of your child's educational future and reclaim your power as a parent? In this powerful episode, host Jay sits down with visionary strategist Jay Artist Wright to discuss why the current school system is failing our children and how we can advocate for a better way forward. Jay Artist Wright shares her incredible journey from a first-generation college student to a leading education policy advocate. She opens up about her personal struggles with childhood instability, high school trauma, and a near-death health scare that completely shifted her perspective on life, purpose, and legacy. We dive deep into the mission of Freedom to Choose Schools and why it is vital for families to have a seat at the table when it comes to educational policy and school choice.Throughout this conversation, we explore the truth about per-pupil funding, the school-to-prison pipeline, and why the traditional education model remains stuck in the industrial age. This episode is a call to action for every Mama Bear out there to recognize the brilliance in their children and demand an education that treats them with value and respect. Whether you are already homeschooling or exploring new options, you will walk away with the confidence to choose what is best for your family.Jay Artis Wright is the CEO of Freedom to Choose Schools, a national organization advancing educational freedom and parent empowerment. A longtime education advocate, she mobilizes families, educators, and policymakers to expand school choice and improve opportunities for students, particularly in Black and Latino communities, through policy advocacy, civic engagement, and grassroots organizing.RESOURCES AND CONNECT

In 1879, Richard Henry Pratt founded the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, the first federally supported off-reservation boarding school for Native American children. Designed to promote assimilation into American society, Carlisle became the model for the broader system of Native American boarding schools that spread across the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In this episode, I explore how Carlisle operated, the federal policies that shaped it, and the lasting impact of the Indian boarding school system on Indigenous communities.Support the show

Then President Trump gives an update on how he believes the conflict with Iran is unfolding, while former President Biden appears publicly and leaves the crew trying to decipher some truly puzzling remarks. Plus, Patrick Sullivan joins the show with a jaw-dropping investigation into Big Food. After battling cancer in 2014, Sullivan and his wife began digging into what's really happening in America's food supply—and what they found is alarming. Why do many major food companies trace back to cigarette corporations? Is the same addiction science being used in our food today? Sullivan breaks down how the U.S. food system changed dramatically over the last 30–40 years and who may really be behind it. A fascinating conversation you have to hear.

The Alliance for Civics in the Academy hosted "How Can Universities Strengthen Civic Education in K–12 Schools?" with Jennifer McNabb, Joshua Dunn, and Jenna Storey on March 4, 2026, from 9:00-10:00 a.m. PT. Universities are increasingly reexamining their role as incubators of effective citizenship. An essential yet often overlooked part of this work is strengthening K–12 civic education. This webinar explores how efforts within higher education can support civic learning in K–12 schools, with particular emphasis on the academy's role in training the next generation of educators. ABOUT THE SPEAKERS Meira Levinson is a political theorist/philosopher of education who is working to start a global field of educational ethics that is philosophically rigorous, disciplinarily and experientially inclusive, and both relevant to and informed by educational policy and practice. In doing so, she draws upon scholarship from multiple disciplines as well as her eight years of experience teaching middle school humanities, civics, history, and English in the Atlanta and Boston Public Schools.  Meira has written or co-edited nine books, including Civic Contestation in Global Education and Educational Equity in a Global Context (both 2024, with Ellis Reid, Tatiana Geron, and Sara O'Brien), Instructional Moves for Powerful Teaching in Higher Education (2023, co-authored with Jeremy Murphy), Democratic Discord in Schools (2019, with Jacob Fay), winner of the 2020 AERA Moral Development and Education SIG Outstanding Book Award, and Dilemmas of Educational Ethics (2016, with Jacob Fay). Her book No Citizen Left Behind (2012) won awards in political science, philosophy, social studies, and education and has been translated into Chinese and Japanese. Meira shares educational ethics resources on JusticeinSchools.org, materials to support K-12 educators working in politically charged environments at Educational Values in Action, and resources for youth activists and teacher allies at YouthinFront.org. Each of these projects reflects Levinson's commitment to achieving productive cross-fertilization — without loss of rigor — among scholarship, policy, and practice. Meira earned a B.A. in philosophy from Yale and a D.Phil. in politics from Nuffield College, Oxford University. Her work has been supported by fellowships from Guggenheim, the Edmond & Lily Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard, Harvard Radcliffe Institute, and the National Academy of Education. Prior to joining the Stanford faculty, Meira taught at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Jennifer McNabb is Professor and Head of the Department of History at the University of Northern Iowa, where she teaches courses on early modern European history and the history of England. She was Co-Chair of UNI's Civic Education Task Force, which created UNI's Center for Civic Education, and she was Co-PI for a National Endowment for the Humanities Connections Grant that developed UNI's first civic education curriculum: "Civic Literacy, Engagement and the Humanities." McNabb is also a Co-PI of a national grant that will establish the Iowa Civic Educators Institute, providing professional development opportunities for in-service and pre-service social studies and history teachers throughout the state. McNabb has received several awards for her teaching and has completed four courses for The Teaching Company's The Great Courses on the Renaissance, witchcraft, sex, and marriage. She currently serves as a Councilor in the Professional Division of the American Historical Association and as president of the Midwest Conference on British Studies. Joshua Dunn (PhD, University of Virginia) serves as Executive Director of the Institute of American Civics at the Howard H. Baker School of Public Policy and Public Affairs at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. His research and teaching focus on constitutional law and history, education policy, federalism, and freedom of speech and religion. His books include Complex Justice: The Case of Missouri v. Jenkins (University of North Carolina Press), From Schoolhouse to Courthouse: The Judiciary's Role in American Education (Brookings Institution Press) and Passing on the Right: Conservative Professors in the Progressive University (Oxford University Press).  Moderator Jenna Silber Storey is the Ravenel Curry Chair in Civic Thought in the Social, Cultural, and Constitutional Studies Division of the American Enterprise Institute, and Co-Director of AEI's Center for the Future of the American University.  She is also an SNF Agora Fellow at Johns Hopkins University and a Research Fellow at the Civitas Institute at the University of Texas at Austin.  She previously taught political philosophy at Furman University, where she was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Politics and International Affairs, and Executive Director of Furman's Tocqueville Program.  Her writing has appeared in outlets such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, The Chronicle of Higher Education, Inside Higher Ed, First Things, and The National Endowment for the Humanities flagship journal, Humanities.  Dr. Storey is the co-author, with her husband Ben, of Why We Are Restless:  On the Modern Quest for Contentment (Princeton University Press, 2021).  They are currently working on a book titled The Art of Choosing: How Liberal Education Should Prepare You for Life.

The promise of AI in education is incredible: picture infinitely patient tutors that can teach every student exactly the way they need to be taught. But the history of education technology tells us that these kinds of simple, optimistic stories are naive. Ask any teacher or student whether they feel unleashed by technology to do their best work.  Because AI has the potential to completely transform education — is already transforming it — faster than educators can keep up, it's essential that we start asking the big questions: how should these tools be used in the classroom? What's the purpose of education in an AI age? And how do we prepare students for a future that's still so radically uncertain? Our guest this week actually has some answers. Rebecca Winthrop leads the Center for Universal Education at the Brookings Institution, and they just released a report called A New Direction for Students in an AI World. She and her colleagues conducted an extensive ‘pre-mortem' of AI in the classroom, speaking with hundreds of educators, students, policy-makers, and technologists worldwide.  In this episode, Rebecca walks us through what she's learned — what's working, what's not, and most importantly, what are the concrete steps that parents, teachers, and administrators can and should take right now?   RECOMMENDED MEDIA A New Direction for Students in An AI World The Disengaged Teen by Rebecca Winthrop and Jenny Anderson   RECOMMENDED YUA EPISODES Rethinking School in the Age of AI Attachment Hacking and the Rise of AI Psychosis How OpenAI's ChatGPT Guided a Teen to His Death AI and the Future of Work: What You Need to Know Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It's Thursday, March 5th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark 9 Nigerian Muslims on trial for killing 200 Christians Nine Fulani Muslim herdsmen are on trial in Nigeria for participating in the massacre of over 200 Christians in the country last year. Christian Daily International reports this is a rare case of prosecution against the Fulani herdsmen. The prosecution comes as the United States is calling on the country to combat Christian persecution. The U.S. is considering a bilateral agreement with Nigeria to protect Christian communities there and eliminate jihadist terror.  Psalm 7:9 says, “Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the just; for the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.”  Nigerian Anglicans reject the homosexual agenda of Church of England Speaking of Nigeria, the Global Anglican Future Conference is meeting this week in the West African country.  The movement of conservative Anglican churches, mainly in Africa and Asia, supports Biblical sexuality. The group has effectively broken off from the Anglican Communion led by the Church of England.  Sarah Mullally is set to become the first female archbishop of Canterbury in the Church of England. Sadly, she supports blessings for homosexual couples.  The Global Anglican Future Conference now plans on appointing its own leader who will represent Biblical values. The conservative group says it represents 85 percent of the world's practicing Anglicans. Christian teacher vindicated for refusing to say inaccurate pronouns In the United States, an Indiana school district agreed to pay $650,000 in a religious freedom lawsuit. Brownsburg Community School Corporation forced John Kluge, a Christian music teacher, to resign for not using biologically incorrect pronouns.  David Cortman with Alliance Defending Freedom commented on the case. He said, “After almost five and a half years, common sense has prevailed at Brownsburg. … Schools should learn that refusing to accommodate religious employees can be illegal and expensive.” Red state families having more babies than blue state families The Institute for Family Studies reports that the women in red states are birthing more babies than those in blue states since the COVID-19 pandemic. The 20 states that voted Democrat in 2024 saw a decline in people in their 20s and kids under 10 compared to 2019. Meanwhile, Republican-leaning states often had cheaper housing and tended to attract parents with young kids. States like Idaho, South Carolina, Florida, and Tennessee saw a 10% increase in married families with young children over the last five years. States like California, New York, and Illinois saw a decline in such families.  Trump cut federal workforce by 12% The federal government's civilian workforce shrunk by over 380,000 people during the first year of President Donald Trump's second term.   That's a 12% workforce reduction between September 2024 and January 2026. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management reported the numbers yesterday. Scott Kupor, the director of the agency, said, “This effort ensures taxpayer dollars support a workforce that delivers efficient, responsive and high-quality services.” Mortgage rate fell to 5.98% Mortgage rates fell below six percent for the first time in years. The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate fell to 5.98 percent last week. It has not been that low since September 2022. Recent rates peaked at 7.8 percent in October 2023. Mortgage rates have been coming down slowly since the Federal Reserve began cutting its benchmark interest rate last year.  Only 4% of American adults have Biblical worldview And finally, Dr. George Barna released his latest survey on Biblical worldview. Sadly, only four percent of U.S. adults have a Biblical worldview. That's unchanged compare to 2023 and down from 12 percent in 1994. Most Americans, over eight in ten, may believe some Biblical principles but often think and live in ways that conflict with the Bible. Also, only two percent of young adults have a Biblical worldview. The survey noted, “Despite the increased attention given to faith matters after the Charlie Kirk murder, and the growth in church attendance and individuals purchasing Bibles immediately after that incident, there is no hint of improvement when it comes to Biblical worldview.” However, Dr. Barna wrote, “We reached a low point—4%— in 2023. The fact that we have not plumbed new depths since then hopefully suggests that we have bottomed out and are in line to experience positive growth in biblical thought and action.” Romans 12:2 says, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, March 5th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Roland "Champ" Bailey, Jr. is t a Pro Football Hall of Famer and one of the greatest cornerbacks to ever play in the NFL.  During his playing days for the University of Georgia, Washington Redskins, and Denver Broncos, Champ built a stellar reputation as a diligent and detailed leader who modeled high-performance. He still holds two NFL records with 203 career pass deflections and being selected to 12 Pro Bowls as a cornerback. He was tabbed for the NFL All-Decade Team of the 2000s and chosen to the Broncos 50th Anniversary Team.

March 4, 2026: The ECB just released new data showing companies that use AI are hiring, not firing — but the full story of what happened to bank tellers reveals why that optimism has a shelf life. USAA CEO Juan Andrade says Gen Z won't be as well off as Boomers and Gen X, and the numbers are stark: entry-level job postings down 29% globally, Gen Z financial insecurity up 18 points in a single year, and an average net worth of negative $22,000. Slack cofounder Stewart Butterfield says most of what passes for work in large organizations isn't actually work — he calls it hyper-realistic worklike activities, and the data shows it's costing U.S. companies $37 billion a year in ineffective meetings alone. And a neuroscientist who testified before the U.S. Senate says Silicon Valley convinced schools they were broken when they weren't, spent $30 billion putting screens in classrooms, and produced the first generation in modern history to score lower on cognitive tests than their parents — and now AI in classrooms is about to repeat the exact same mistake.
