What happens when a dedicated teacher decides to stand up against the powerful teachers' union? Stacy Adair, a conservative educator from Colorado, did just that and shares her inspiring story with us. From the initial spark that led her to speak out in 2020 to her deep dive into the union's controversial stances, Stacy unpacks the personal and professional challenges she faced, including incidents of intimidation and backlash. Discover how she has been pushing for a more conservative school board and the awakening among parents and educators.
Hear from a seasoned conservative teacher who gives us an inside look at the post-election dynamics of supporting a school board aligned with traditional values. This chapter highlights the practical hurdles faced in the classroom, from the refusal to enforce mask mandates to the contentious implementation of restorative justice. We discuss the critical need for open lines of communication between teachers and board members and the palpable disconnect between liberal educational philosophies and real-world classroom needs.
Finally, we tackle the broader issues impacting education today, such as the decline in teaching essential skills like math and handwriting. We also explore how political agendas, including the "woke" movement, are shaping classroom policies on pronouns and gender identity. The episode wraps up with a heartfelt appeal for concerned teachers and parents to take action and to remember, "You are not alone."
