Podcasts about teacher unions

Pippa Hudson speaks to Dr Solomon Chibaya, lecturer in education policy at the University of the Free State, about the ripple effects of the Basic Education Laws Amendment (BELA) Act signed into law by President Cyril Ramaphosa in September 2024. While two contentious clauses—on language and admissions—were placed on hold, the Act still reshapes school governance in South Africa. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.

That's quite the crackdown on truancy from David Seymour today - don't expect this to go down well with the teacher unions. So the first thing David Seymour's announced is that he's coming for the parents. He's bringing in the possibility of enforcing fines on parents who don't send their kids to school. Now, it's 100 percent that the excuse-makers of this country are gonna have a problem with this because it's picking on the vulnerable, etc. Let me tell you something - school is compulsory in New Zealand. If it's compulsory and you don't do it, you will get punished. A fine is the punishment, that's how compulsion works. There's no point in having it be compulsory if you aren't prepared to punish someone for the compulsory thing not happening. And the fine thing is not new, they already exist on the books. Parents can be fined up to $3000 if they're recidivist offenders, it's just that the fine is not enforced. The second thing he's doing is scrapping teacher-only days during term times. Schools now have to hold teacher-only days in term breaks. 100 percent the teacher unions will complain about this, but again - this is not new. According to David Seymour's office, the law already states that teacher-only days should only be held during school breaks. And if they have to be held during term time, it must be only with the permission of the Ministry of Education - but it's got a bit loose. So, all David Seymour is doing here is reminding us all what the existing rules already are and getting us to follow them. And the fact that that is quite a big crack down - I think that tells you how loose we've gotten with respecting education. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – Teacher unions like the AFT claim to offer solutions for a better life, but instead push a Marxist agenda. With blatant political bias, these unions prioritize activism over education, resulting in a significant membership decline. Public sector unions are losing millions, as their focus shifts from supporting teachers to promoting far-left causes, leaving education underfunded and neglected.

Virginia’s largest school system, one of the biggest in the country in fact, is about to enter into a collective bargaining agreement. Michael Pope has the details.

Pre-Tertiary Education Teacher Unions have called off their strike with immediate effect as a result of the court action by the National Labour Commission

The National Labour Commission has directed the striking teacher unions to immediately call off their industrial action after arbitration. The long-anticipated meeting had all the leadership of the teacher unions coupled with some teachers who abandoned the classroom to protest in solidarity with their leadership at the NLC premises.

On Wednesday, March 20, teacher unions comprising the GNAT, the NAGRAT, and the CCT-Gh embarked on indefinite strike due to the government's delay in renewing their collective agreements, among other concerns.

Journalist Tim Schwab is no stranger to investigative journalism that scrutinizes power structures and questions how private interests intersect with public policy.  With funding from a 2019 Alicia Patterson Fellowship, Schwab pursued an investigative series specific to Bill Gates and the Gates Foundation, and his work was published by The Nation in 2020 and 2021. Now Schwab expands on his reporting in a new book, The Bill Gates Problem. Schwab provides an in-depth analysis of Bill Gates' philanthropic trajectory, tracing his evolution from a prominent figure in the tech industry to a globally admired individual. Drawing from years of investigation, Schwab highlights concerns related to undue influence on public policy, private markets, scientific research, and media narratives. Are such philanthropic endeavors truly democratic? Or even effective? By facilitating an open dialogue, Schwab seeks to empower participants to critically evaluate the role of philanthropy in society, encouraging constructive discussions about its impact and implications. Tim Schwab is an investigative journalist based in Washington, D.C. His groundbreaking reporting on the Gates Foundation for The Nation, Columbia Journalism Review, and The British Medical Journal has been honored with an Izzy Award and a Deadline Club Award. The Bill Gates Problem is his first book.

America's educational leaders, the ones who set the tone for a critical mass of K-12 and university education, are the products of a very narrow schooling. Today's pedagogy is rooted in Marxism and hostile to our shared Western Civilization. To be clear, today's educational leaders have been taught to hate America and to actively work for its overthrow. We, active citizens loyal to the Republic as well as to Judeo-Christian values, can and should unseat these latter-day Nomenklatura and restore genuine learning to our schools. A good first step is to vote NO on all school funding levies.Would you like to share your thoughts with Ralph?  Please email your comments to hello@idahospeaks.com or post your comments on @IdahoSpeaks on Twitter.Idaho Speaks is a listener supported production.  Please visit idahospeaks.com/support to learn more.Do you have something so say?  Interested in learning more about publishing on the Idaho Speaks Network?  Our nation was built on ideas and your idea could be the next political advancement for Idaho.  Call Ed at (208) 209-7170 or email hello@idahospeaks.com to start the conversation.

To counter FL Fascist Gov Ron DeSantis' attack on schools (and therefore students and their right to learn), I invited a guest who's working hard pushing back against the push to whitewash our history and to keep teaching our kids a truthful, honest history from which they can actually learn.Jesse Hagopian is above all else a teacher. An educator! He's on hiatus from the classroom, working to ensure that teachers are able to continue teaching our children facts– from science to history and beyond, free from the heavy authoritarian hand that Republicans favor these days.From his website at iamaneducator.com, we learn that Jesse is an editor for the social justice periodical Rethinking Schools, is the co-editor of the books, Black Lives Matter at School, Teaching for Black Lives, Teacher Unions and Social Justice, and is the editor of the book, More Than a Score: The New Uprising Against High-Stakes Testing. Jesse serves as the Director of the Black Education Matters Student Activist Award, is an organizer with the Black Lives Matter at School movement, and is founding member of Social Equity Educators (SEE). And if you liked the “Legalize Black History” hat Jesse is wearing in this interview, he's got that merch for sale here, with proceeds going to supporting the youth winners of the Black Education Matters Student Activist Award, as well as supporting the writing of a forthcoming book about the movement to stop the banning of Black history.But I invited him to join us to tell us about his work with the Zinn Education Project! Hopefully you're read or are otherwise familiar with Howard Zinn's A Peoples History of the United States.

Social media posts can add to cumulative risk and I further discuss the Idaho student killing; teachers unions have always been a con-game, in particular now; Congress moves ahead a bill to impose mental-health checks on all students, including homeschooling students; others question Dr. Gold, and the Five Docs do too; and current jab-related absences/headlines in the medical profession.

Famous embalmer Richard Hirschman joins to expose the massive, fibrous clots forming in the bodies of the vaccinated. Embalmers across the world are seeing the same, exact thing: killer clots, and the agenda is undeniable! Karen Kingston joins to detail how Pfizer titles it's injections, "smart devices", and Big Pharma players call humanity a "disease". Are the Elites spraying us with AI technology, posed as "COVID"? We will never forget what the Liberals did. They psychologically abused children with literally suffocating mask mandates. Teacher Unions shut down schools. Governors and “public health officials” trapped our elderly in nursing home death traps. Liberals collecting a guaranteed government paycheck shut down struggling businesses forever, deliberately. They kept ruining businesses and lives for months, even a year after it was 100% obvious none of it was necessary or even helpful. Nikki Jones is an Angel Wife. An illegal immigrant killed her husband in a hit-and-run car crash in 2019, leaving her as a single mother to a 2-year-old and a six-month-old. The man who killed Nikki's husband was first caught with multiple IDs in 2007. In 2013 he had a DUI. Then, another DUI in 2017. Then, a crash causing property damage in 2018. Then, in 2019, driving without a license. Visit our friends at Goldco!

On today's Breitbart News Daily podcast, we begin with some details about Alex's Halloween with young children and how some masked freaks tried to ruin it for everyone. Meanwhile, Laurene Powell Jobs'  "The Atlantic" magazine has called for an amnesty for all of the totalitarians who gave terrible recommendations that caused you and your children to suffer during the COVID pandemic. Enraging! Alex then connects the dishonest virtue signaling by the Left to their inevitable political failings this election season. Plus, much more in the opening, including the latest details of the Paul Pelosi attack. Is this apparently pro-BLM/pro-LGBTQ/pro-hemp nudist advocate from Berkeley the new face of MAGA? No. Then, Tina Descovich and Tiffany Justice, the co-founders of ‘Moms for Liberty' (momsforliberty.org) join us to discuss the new teachers' union report from Peter Schweizer's Government Accountability Institute (GAI) that reveals an overwhelming amount of union dues going to left-wing causes despite a surprising number of non-Democrats among their membership.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- In an opinion editorial featured on Fox News, Dr. Nichole Saphier addressed the 2022 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) which showed student math and reading scores have declined sharply since 2019, correlating to the K-12 remote learning adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Saphier explains the prolonged school lockdowns were the result of teacher union politics—and not based on science or medical recommendations.   6:55pm- Who Won Social Media? + Zeoli's Final Thought 

Money can't fix every problem...

Teacher unions and Texas politicians are damaging, respectively, our schools and electric grid. On this week's Liberty Cafe, we discuss why throwing money at public schools and the electric grid won't solve the problems with either of them.

THE THESIS: There is a Country where it is increasingly illegal to obey God. In that same Country, it is perfectly legal to mentally--and, in fact, medically--kidnap children. That Country is the United States and God will not be mocked.  THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES:  Galatians 6 Doing Good to All 6 Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. 2 Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3 If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. 4 Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, 5 for each one should carry their own load. 6 Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor. 7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. THE NEWS & COMMENT: NO decent adult, NO godly adult hides the pain and confusion of a child from a parent, unless they have legal proof that the parent has been removed from that child's life due to abuse. But, that is exactly why so-called “schools” do by policy when it relates to their idol of “transgenderism.” The Useful idiocy of people like Hank Johnson are vital to the efforts of The Party.  [AUDIO] - Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA): "People at school board meetings will never forget MAGA Republicans descending on their school board meetings just like they did on January 6. It was a coordinated attack happening across the country." [AUDIO] -  Guam will Capsize and Tip Over into the ocean Hank Johnson Thankfully, a small group of conservatives is beginning--oh, so slowly--to realize that most, if not all, Teacher Unions are anti-family, which makes them anti-God.  EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Blackburn Introduces Legislation To End Federal Charter For Largest Teachers' Union In US The white house is attempting to outlaw abiding with God. Our friend, Professor Jacobson is fighting against the plan of the people who run Joe Biden to require schools to speak and teach the lie that kids are born in the wrong body.  READ: [Legal Insurrection's] Opposition To Biden's Plan to Gut Campus Due Process and Free Speech, and Impose Gender Ideology; Legal Insurrection Foundation files comment letter: “we oppose the Department's (a) efforts to gut due process protections for persons accused of sexual harassment, (b) threats to free speech posed by dramatic expansion of its definition of harassment, and (c) imposition of gender identity ideology into Title IX, in a way that would undermine the statute's language, purpose, and goals of providing equal opportunities to women.” This is psychological kidnapping. In separate countries like Washington and Oregon, it can be a precursor to medical kidnapping as The Party can chemically and surgically mutilate kids without parental consent, but they can force the parents to pay.  [AUDIO] - Finally, the Michigan Department of Education instructs teachers how to facilitate child sexual transitions and recommends that they keep a child's “chosen name and pronouns” a secret from parents, even if the child is suicidal. [AUDIO] -  When a teacher asks how to respond to a student who claims to have “she/he/they/them” pronouns, the trainer responds adamantly: “Go with what the kid says. They're the best experts on their lives. They're the best experts on their own identities and their own bodies.” [AUDIO] - Trainer Amorie Robinson, who says she is a “Black, masculine-identified, cisgendered lesbian” and uses the “African name” Kofi Adoma, says that gender is an infinite spectrum, including identities such as “genderfluid,” “genderqueer,” “butch,” “stud,” and “questioning.” Here is a red state, Idaho, linking to vile sexual content for kids. Yes, I have heard people say this stuff is “several links away” from the Idaho school resources. There should be NO links to it all. This is exactly what Washington, Oregon and California did. They start slow and work-up. Weak, professional Republican “governor of Boise,” Brad Little needs to fire everyone involved in this. If not, he is no better than a Democrat.  [AUDIO] - The Idaho state government is now training students in "porn literacy," teaching how pornography can "sexually excite and create fantasy" for children. It's time to break the state-run education monopoly and provide families with universal school choice. [AUDIO] - Meanwhile, so-called Republican Governor, Brad Little is bragging about funding the schools!  [AUDIO] - An Iowa teenage sex trafficking victim who stabbed her rapist to death was sentenced by a judge on Tuesday to five years of closely supervised probation and must pay $150,000 restitution to her abuser's family. Forbes published a hit piece on a teen girl! Chloe Cole is a “transitioner”, a young woman attempting to get her body back from gender-jacking “doctors.” Forbes attacked her because . . . she's autistic.  Forbes appears to have taken the article down, here's a write-up with some of its lowlights.  Yeah, Forbes removed it LISTENERS EMAILS: Kim Words paint a picture. I have had to stop the podcast a few times recently when you got very descriptive about sexual crimes. You were talking about Sexual researcher abusing his daughter, Clinton rap discussion. We need to know but we don't always need to be close to the face of evil. Paul Re: WAP episode: I won't say I enjoyed it, but I WILL say I am grateful and indebted to you for it. I would never sit and watch Hil-liar-ry say anything, but it's good that I heard the excerpt from her new show. Then your extended discussion about all the non-Biblical sexuality being shoved at us caused me to contemplate so many past personal exchanges and personal acquaintances and events, and my understanding becomes greatly enhanced. Thanks SO much for that episode, and ALL your episodes. Paul from White Lake Brian Brother I was deeply offended by you playing those vile words. I don't need the images in my head that those words conveyed. I know rap is horrible. I don't need you to remind me. I love you but please don't do that again. Your friend in Texas, Brian Richard  This is a important topic, the sexuastion of every thing is the devils play ground, not sure witch is worse sex or greed . Don't force yourself to play anything like again, I can tell it really hurt your soul to play that , we can use are imagination and look it up if it's something worth seeing, so don't do that to yourself again. God blessSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Max Nelsen, Director of Labor Policy at the Freedom Foundation, discusses his stunning report that showed that $36 Million of COVID PPP money intended for small business relief during the early days of lockdowns went to 200 unions, including teacher unions, that were ineligible to receive the money. Nelsen comments that the “American labor movement today, is not the American Labor movement of 100 years ago”. It is not “hard hats, or coal miners”, but rather is made up of “government employees”, with “teacher unions” making up the biggest group. Adding that the reports findings were “extra frustrating” because unions have become mostly “political organizations”, and primarily the unions that applied and received the PPP money, were the same unions “advocating for these government lockdowns that necessitated the need for these relief programs in the first place.” Commenting, the organizations took “money off the table” from “struggling mom and pop down the street” that were “just trying to keep their doors open through this unprecedented government imposed lockdown situation”, while the state and local governments were “awash in money” and never laid anyone off.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this ninth episode of Black Work Talk, host Steven Pitts welcomes Jesse Hagopian, an Ethnic Studies teacher at Garfield High School in Seattle, Washington.  The public schools in the United States have been near Ground Zero during this confluence of COVID, the recession, and the fight for racial justice and because of this, education has become a flashpoint for political struggle. Jesse has been active trying to ensure that any school re-opening takes places on a timeline and fulfills key conditions that best serves the interests of students and staff, not the needs of outside political actors with their agendas. Prior to the pandemic, Jesse worked with others from around the country developing a liberation pedagogy and working with his union (and others) to build a social justice unionism that has the power to transform education.  Recently, Jesse has edited two books collecting essays on making teacher unions a force for racial and economic justice: Teacher Unions and Social Justice: Organizing for the Schools and Communities Our Students Deserve Black Lives Matters at School
