For The Sake of Our Children, Education Must Be of Critical Importance in 2024 Jan 04, 2024

Show notes

As we move into 2024, we're seeing more and more teachers' union representatives talking about comprehensive sex education and why they believe that parents should *not* have the final authority in the lives of their children as it relates to government education and what those kids are being taught. The agenda of the NEA permeates all of our government schools, even those in rural America, and we're going to look at it specifically. Today, I'm going to focus on education and why I think it should be the preeminent issue in the 2024 elections and in the hearts and minds of parents. I implore you, for the sake of our children, to hear my heart on this issue.
