990: Are We Letting Schools Brainwash Children?

990: Are We Letting Schools Brainwash Children?

Are public schools beyond saving? We expose the system’s failure and show how parents are taking back control. Real numbers. Real stories. Real solutions. The future belongs to your family - not the state.

What happens when parents stop outsourcing their values to a broken system?


What if the very institutions we trust with our kids are doing more harm than good? This isn’t some theoretical debate anymore - it's happening in real time, and parents across the country are waking up to the dystopian reality of government-run education. From failing test scores to flat-out ideological indoctrination, the public school monopoly is collapsing under its own weight. In this episode, we confront that collapse head-on and explore the massive cultural and parental awakening unfolding before our eyes.

Joining Brian is Andrew Clark from Yes. Every Kid., an advocacy group on the front lines of the parental rights revolution. Together, they break down the cultural power struggle happening in classrooms, the pushback from teachers’ unions, and the growing number of parents refusing to comply. The spark? COVID gave parents a front-row seat to the madness. Now, those same parents are asking tough questions and demanding better for their kids.


This episode dives deep into the shocking proficiency stats coming out of cities like Chicago and Baltimore - and why spending $85,000 per student still leads to total failure. But it’s not just about the numbers. It’s about who owns your child’s future: you or the state? You’ll hear how the legacy of Horace Mann and Rockefeller still haunts modern education, and why the time for a paradigm shift is now.


Brian and Andrew don’t just critique the system - they lay out what’s next. Education Savings Accounts, micro-schools, homeschooling pods, and real freedom of choice. This isn’t about left or right. It’s about getting kids an education that actually works. And spoiler alert: it's the private sector and local communities leading the charge.


If you're a parent, grandparent, or anyone who cares about the future of this country, this episode is a wake-up call. It’s time to stop tolerating mediocrity and start demanding freedom. Because when the system grips tighter, more families slip through its fingers - and that might just save the next generation.
