As I was recording this podcast, the following email went out to community stakeholders from the Superintendent of the Estes Park School District regarding the district policy concerning the charter school application and upcoming process here is what it read: Estes Park School District Staff, Parents/Guardians, and Community,Loveland Classical Schools has submitted an application to start a K-8 charter school in the Estes Park School District. The application was submitted and has met the requirements set in the policy. District policy also dictates that the district must host public meetings so that stakeholders have the opportunity to relay questions and express concerns or support regarding the charter school application.

This form will be accepting responses until January 10th, 2023. For more information and up to date details, please follow along on our website HERE. Kind Regards, Ruby Bode, Superintendent Here are the two emails I read on the episode: To members of the Estes Park School District Board,I reluctantly offer these comments regarding the proposed charter school application. Reluctantly, because based on my prior experiences with such issues in Estes Park, I suspect this may already be a done deal. Reluctantly also because I am aware that my comments may offend certain people including some who are good friends. Nevertheless, I believe the issues and concerns below should be part of the public record regarding the charter school application.Here is the first:LOVELAND CLASSICAL SCHOOL CHARTER PROPOSAL AND A BRIEF SUMMARY                                    OF SIGNIFICANT LCS POLICIES AND PROCEDURESOME HELPFUL DEFINITIONS:            A NON-PUBLIC (PRIVATE) SCHOOL IS A SCHOOL SUCH AS AN INDEPENDENT, PAROCHIAL OR HOME SCHOOL THAT DOES NOT RECEIVE ANY PUBLIC (TAXPAYER PROVIDED) FUNDING. THE OPERATIVE TERM HERE IS “INDEPENDENT” MEANING THAT BY NOT ACCEPTING PUBLIC FUNDING THE SCHOOL IS ALSO RELIEVED FROM FOLLOWING MOST STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS THAT OFTEN ACCOMPANY THE RECEIPT OF GOVERNMENT FUNDING.            A CHARTER SCHOOL IS A PUBLIC SCHOOL THAT DOES RECEIVE TAXPAYER FUNDING; CONSEQUENTLY, A CHARTER SCHOOL MUST FOLLOW APPROPRIATE CORRESPONDING STATE REGULATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS THAT ACCOMPANY THE ACCEPTANCE OF TAXPAYER FUNDING.LCS POLICIES AND PROCEDURESA.    SCHOOL GOVERNANCE WILL BE DONE BY AN APPOINTED (NOT AN ELECTED) BOARD IN LOVELAND. THERE WILL BE NO DIRECT ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE TAXPAYERS OF THE ESTES VALLEY OF THE BOARD'S DECISIONS.B.     FUNDING PROVIDED TO THE LOVELAND CLASSICAL SCHOOL WILL ACCORDINGLY REDUCE FUNDING AVAILABLE TO  CURRENT ESTES VALLEY PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR FACULTY, STAFF AND STUDENT PROGRAMS.  IN OTHER WORDS, THE PROPOSED LCS CHARTER SCHOOL WILL BE IN DIRECT FINANCIAL COMPETITION WITH THE ESTES PARK SCHOOL DISTRICT (EPSD), AND THUS EXACERBATE THE CURRENT FUNDING AND STUDENT NUMBERS CHALLENGES OF THE ESTES PARK SCHOOL DISTRICTC.     ADDITIONAL TAXPAYER PROVIDED STARTUP FUNDING FOR THE CHARTER SCHOOL WILL BE USED TO RENOVATE AND EXPAND CHURCH FACILITIES WHERE THE CLASSES WILL BE HELD (ESTES PARK BAPTIST CHURCH—CORNERSTONE) IN ESTES PARK. THE CHURCH WILL ALSO RECEIVE A YEARLY USE FEE.  THE MINISTER OF THE CHURCH TO RECEIVE THE RENOVATION MONEY IS ALSO ON THE BOARD OF THE LOVELAND CLASSICAL SCHOOL (A CLEAR CONFLICT OF INTEREST). ALL ALTERNATIVE LOCATIONS FOR THE PROPOSED LCS BRANCH ARE EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN CHURCHES IN THE ESTES VALLEY.D.    ALTHOUGH COLORADO CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE REQUIRED TO ADMIT STUDENTS OF ALL INCOMES AND ACADEMIC ABILITIES, THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION OR FOOD THAT CAN OFTEN BE  CRITICAL TO CERTAIN LOW INCOME FAMILIES. THE PROPOSED LOVELAND CLASSICAL CHARTER SCHOOL WILL NOT PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION AND MEAL PROGRAMS AS THE ESTES PARK PUBLIC SCHOOLS DO. STUDENTS MAY ALSO BE REQUIRED TO PURCHASED SCHOOL-SANCTIONED CLOTHING.E.     ALTHOUGH COLORADO TEACHER CERTIFICATION FOR LCS IS RECOMMENDED, IT IS NOT REQUIRED (THIS IS TRUE FOR ALL APPROVED COLORADO CHARTER SCHOOLS). THE LCS BOARD IN LOVELAND WILL THUS HAVE FINAL SAY ON TEACHER QUALIFICATIONS.F.     LCS POLICIES REGARDING CURRICULUM REQUIREMENTS ARE AS FOLLOWS:1.     “The theory of evolution in regard to human origins will not be taught at this time” “but such teaching is not intended to exclude other theories of human origin and development such as creation” (a potential Constitutional violation)2.     The LCS curriculum does not include human sexuality instruction (a potential violation of certain Colorado statutes unless an official waiver has been granted)3.     “Controversial issues” are defined as those of a political or social nature where there are differences of opinion and passions run high. These issues  may not be addressed in certain cases as determined by the LCS Board in Loveland. Thus, controversial issues may only be explored when arising from some part of the curriculum in grades 6-12. When these subjects come up, teachers will present an “impartial view” without proselytizing. Contemporary controversial issues will not be discussed in the elementary school, even if part of the Core Knowledge sequence, without Site Principal approval.*The above information is taken from a variety of sources. Since thorough and reliable information is limited, I welcome any additions and/or corrections to the above statementsMY PERSONAL ANALYSIS OF THE LCS CHARTER PROPOSALUnder the Colorado Charter School Act an approved charter school is allowed to have an independent governing board, to hire unlicensed teachers, to impose conservative dress codes and to provide creative and sometimes experimental approaches to teaching the general high school curriculum approved by the State Board of Education.At the same time, however, a charter school is still a public school that must be open to students of all income levels and academic abilities. It may not exercise the kind of selective admissions policies that are allowed to independent and parochial schools because a public school is intended to serve the general public, not a select group of like-minded people. A charter school may not promote religion (especially a particular religion) in any way, nor may it discriminate against any ethnic, racial or gender group in any way.In my personal opinion, The LCS application proposal fails the Charter School test. The refusal to teach the origins of human evolution clearly reveals the narrow fundamentalist religious education mission of the school. The LCS approach to human evolution has nothing to do with a “classical education” and it  is contrary to both state-approved scientific education and the general public's belief in appropriate scientific education. LCS's motivation is further affirmed by the accompanying proposed religious locations, taxpayer supported church startup funding  (and consequent Board membership conflicts of interest). Lack of local control of the LCS Board is also an issue of  concern.In addition to failing the appropriate religious test for a charter school, LCS also fails the general test of how to approach controversial issues. The seemingly benign language and processes regarding the teaching and discussion of controversial issues leaves far too much power in the hands of the Site Principal and the independent LCS Board. Parsed carefully, the language is very similar to the language of requirements imposed in Texas and Florida to promote particular political views by carefully and intentionally limiting and censoring discussion of certain controversial issues. Restricting faculty responses and faculty led discussions to this degree may be fine for the promotion of certain political, social or religious agendas, but it is not good public education.In summary, the LCD proposal is a proposal for a private school designed to meet the needs, not of the general public, but instead mostly to satisfy the needs and desires of conservatives,  religious fundamentalists and evangelical Christians. There is nothing wrong with a private school to satisfy those needs and desires, but there is everything wrong for such a school to expect to be supported by public taxpayer funding. Should the current School Board support such a proposal,  future bond issues and appeals for public funding may consequently fall on deaf ears from a significant portion of the taxpaying public who will not forgive the Board for helping to financially undermine the Estes Park School District in order to serve the narrow and minority agenda of a powerful religious and political lobbying group. Does the EPSD need to significantly improve its academic program in some areas? Yes it does, and this should be the Board's focus rather than encouraging a competitive charter school with particular political and religious agendas that risk doing more harm than good to the public school system.*My reactions to this charter school proposal are based on 36 years of teaching in independent schools (including nine years as a Headmaster), service on the Board of the Association of Colorado Independent Schools, and participation in a number of ACIS Accreditation Evaluations.As my background implies, I am not opposed to independent schools, religious schools or charter schools. The school choice program in Colorado has certainly benefited my children and grandchildren. Would I be opposed to any type of charter school in Estes Park? No, I would not be, as long as the charter school is a true “public school” in the sense that it serves the entire community (i.e. that it is without inappropriate political, social or religious baggage).  Am I opposed to a  “classical school” without the aforementioned baggage?  Not necessarily, although having taught both Western Civilization and Global Studies(along with Comparative Religions) I would offer the caveat that too much focus on the Western Canon may not well serve our increasingly diverse student population. Consequently, any proposed charter school should take that into consideration and avoid offering “canned curriculums” often provided by groups with particular agendas that may not be appropriate as part of the Estes Park “public” school system.In this vein, I urge individual Estes Park Board members, as you consider this charter proposal, to act as stewards of the overall Estes Valley educational community and not as perceived representatives of any particular political, social or religious action group.Here is the second: We are writing to strongly oppose the LCS-EV application.   The money that it siphons from the school district will have a serious negative impact on the quality of education the district will be able to provide for students who do not attend the new school.  The data show that Estes Valley schools are performing well, but this change could mean fewer teachers and possibly lower salaries which are already among the lowest in the nation.  Also, it is a clear violation of the separation between church and state for the district to spend $50,000 renovating a church to accommodate the special needs of the new school.The financial requirements for the students in the new school will eliminate any students of limited means, because they will not be able to afford the uniforms, lunches, and transportation.  There are many parents in Estes Park who work in the service industries who are barely able to afford living in Estes.  This is discrimination against those parents and students.It seems to us that spending a half million dollars for the benefit of 40-70 students is fiscally unsound. Diluting the money from tax dollars to run two schools does not provide the highest quality of education for the students in either one.If the school is approved, the Estes Park elected school board cedes any oversight to the appointed board of the Loveland Charter School, who are not local residents.  The board even includes the pastor of the host church……talk about a conflict of interest!  And to imagine that the Loveland board--not even required to appoint certified teachers--will appoint anyone but religious pedagogues is naive. We want to emphasize that we are NOT opposed to religious schools....one of us attended them, after all.  But this is a thinly disguised attempt to use public money to fund a religious school, and that is what is not acceptable.  If there are parents who want their children in a religious school, they should be willing to pay for it.-- Mary and Barry HanniganEstes Park, COwww.blackcanyonrecords.com/maryHere is the link to the Great Schools reviews I read from: https://www.greatschools.org/colorado/loveland/4273-Loveland-Classical-School/reviews/And just for fun, here is Willam Burroughs reading his Thanksgiving Poem: Today's episode is sponsored by: Get full access to The Colorado Switchblade at www.coloradoswitchblade.com/subscribe

Hank Hanegraaff, president of the Christian Research Institute and host of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, is thinking about the recent mid-term elections. We put so much hope in our political system, and certainly political activism plays a necessary role. Yet while the ballot box is necessary, it is insufficient. Consider maladies in Western Civilization such as transgenderism and radical transgender surgery—something you could never have imagined where people are now at young ages having top and bottom surgeries making up maybe a trillion dollar industry for the medical establishment with young people becoming medical patients for life. Radical individualism, wokism, militant egalitarianism, religious pluralism, and so on. All such things are not magically changed or redeemed at the ballot box. Illiberal liberalism is perpetuated and disseminated in so many different ways. Think about educational institutions—so many educators saying the state should have a bigger input into the lives of children than parents. The entertainment industry, which many of us are hooked on. Environmental industries that create, manipulate, and disseminate ideological constructs driving Western civilization in a various dangerous direction. Just a glimpse of the darkness. What are the solutions? The church must awaken from its diabetic coma brought on by a steady diet of fast-food Christianity. Christians must become not only intellectually equipped but equipped internally—by a mysterious Zoetic energy—the energy by which we may yet reclaim the soul of the world against the insistent forces of secularism and paganism. For further reflection, see Hank Hanegraaff, Truth Matters, Life Matters More: The Unexpected Beauty of an Authentic Christian Life https://www.equip.org/product/cri-resource-truth-matters-life-matters-more/

There's a quote by political philosopher Hannah Arendt that goes: “Every generation, Western Civilization is invaded by barbarians. We call them children”. For renowned filmmaker Tan Chui Mui, motherhood perhaps did feel like an invasion, with lots of societal pressure thrust upon "the mother" to conform to certain ideals, coupled with a sense of loss of self that comes along when you are expected to make your child your main focus in life. These and more themes run throughout her award-winning film Barbarian Invasion, a film within a film that explores the choices and challenges of trying to live life on one's own terms. We find out more about the film from Chui Mui, who was also the film's director, screenwriter and lead actor.Image Credit: Instagram/Tan Chui Mooi

In this episode of The Remnant Underground, Michael Matt takes a hard look at two issues of international urgency: 1) Pfizer's shocking admission to a MEP on the floor of the EU parliament. 2) Even Leftist progressives are sounding the alarm that Team Biden is recklessly pushing US into World War III With respect to Number 1: Whom are we to judge first for this crime against humanity? Pope Francis? Bill Gates? With respect to Number 2: Do those who support US intervention in Ukraine realize that they're also supporting World War III? And as if that weren't enough, do they realize with whom they're in bed, i.e., Justin Trudeau, Barack Obama, and George Soros? It's time to ask the question everyone from Jeffrey Sachs to Colonel Douglass McGregor has been asking for months now: Why is negotiating for peace with Russia simply not an option? Plus, Pope Francis attacks traditional Catholics again, this time right in the middle of saying Mass. The takeaway: The pope is, as Cardinal Muller admitted recently, engaging in a ‘hostile takeover of the Catholic Church” and to get there, he needs to get rid of us. So, what we're watching right now is the Globalist cabal dismantling the Catholic Church (which built Western Civilization) while systematically pulling America apart at the seams. After all, “equity and inclusion” demand that the American taxpayer give billions of dollars to Joe Biden, to he can fight Barack Obama's proxy war with Russia. Russia is Public Enemy Number One. Right? So bring on World War III! Everybody okay with this?

"Oil is the primary resource of our abundant industrial, turbo techno economy, and without reliable, predictable, affordable supplies of it, we're going to be in a lot of trouble. And that's exactly where we are now." - James Kunstler Some mitigators want to find workarounds for the problems we are facing in the economy, the energy crisis, and the climate. But there are also the early adaptors who believe the only way through these crises is 'to adapt to them by changing our behavior and the way we do things.' To survive in the future, we must learn to live differently. So, how can we face this course correction head-on? James Howard Kunstler is a prolific author, public speaker, blogger, podcaster, and painter. He's the author of Living in the Long Emergency, about the "converging catastrophes of the 21st century." You can hear more of his ideas and insights on his Clusterfuck Nation blog, which has fresh content on Mondays and Fridays, and his monthly podcast, the KunstlerCast. On this episode of The Wiggin Sessions James Kunstler joins me to discuss how the increase in population and a broken energy business model led to ​​the current deindustrialization of Western Civilization. We discuss the real reason for the auto industry's demise, the weightiest issues in the upcoming midterms, and why we're all living with a persistent anxious hum, that's getting harder to ignore. Listen in to understand why the most significant challenge we face is determining how we will adapt so we can continue to inhabit our planet. Key Takeaways James walks us through the planet's warming through the different periods of the last 2000 years. How Germany's decision to go green has tanked their economy and turned them medieval How Techno-narcissism fails to understand history or the consequences of its actions The capital-intensive reason we must stop doing agribusiness on the current industrial scale The real reason the future of the automobile is in danger of demise Why identifying how we are going to inhabit the landscape is the critical question we need to answer NOW Why early adaptors are the ones who recognize times of change and discover ways to adapt Why the disconnect between our leadership's responsibility and what's actually happening causing mass formation psychosis How the epic failure of the current administration is giving James hints of the Jacobin phase of the French Revolution How the increase in population and a broken energy business model led to ​​the current deindustrialization of Western Civilization Which will hold more weight in the upcoming midterms: kitchen table issues or green economy social issues How economics is mitigating techno narcissism with the decline of skyscrapers Where you can find James' paintings of the human imprint on the traditional landscape Connect with James Howard Kunstler James Howard Kunstler Clusterfuck Nation KunstlerCast Connect with Addison Wiggin Consilience Financial Be sure to follow The Wiggin Sessions on your socials.

Enjoy session 3 of 7 from Grace Agenda 2022 Main Conference in Moscow, ID. When a man and woman say, “I do,” they are launched together into a grand adventure with numerous unexpected twists and turns. Along with all the blessings from marriage, there are also sleepless nights with crying babies, expensive car repairs, burnt dinners, potential drama with extended family, and turmoil in the world. The world thinks that when a marriage is confronted with hardship, either spouse can push the emergency eject button and simply move on due to “irreconcilable differences.” But Christian couples are commanded, in sickness and health, riches and poverty, good times and bad, to display the glory of Christ and the church. To do this takes gritty faith, covenant fidelity, and joyful forbearance. Grace Agenda 2022: Marriage Bootcamp aims to equip Christian couples to ride into the turbulence of the world in which we live with a fearless resolve to glorify God in their home and so advance the kingdom of God in the midst of the smoking crater that is Western Civilization. — The last several years Christ Church has tried an experiment in grace and has not charged for the Grace Agenda conference. In keeping with this spirit of grace, we are accepting free will donations at https://www.graceagenda.com/donate.

Hank Hanegraaff believes that the following conversation with Noelle Mering is one of the most important podcasts he has ever recorded. Most people view woke ideology as a political or social movement, but Mering is convinced that it is a demonically motivated movement that takes partial truths and totalizes them while making God the ultimate oppressor. She wrote Awake, Not Woke: A Christian Response to the Cult of Progressive Ideology as an effort to shed clarity on a movement that operates in confusion and like a trojan horse has manipulated many well-meaning Christians with ideological suppositions that are not only incompatible with but completely counter to Christianity. In short, the advocates of this progressive ideology will increasingly demand allegiance to their cause and Christians must be equipped to recognize and counter the claims of woke ideology by deepening their understanding of what is true and leaning on the historic foundations of the Church.For more information see Noelle Mering, Awake, Not Woke: A Christian Response to the Cult of Progressive Ideology, available for your partnering gift. https://www.equip.org/product/cri-resource-awake-not-woke-a-christian-response-to-the-cult-of-progressive-ideology/Topics discussed include: What is the definition of woke?
