We dive into Rod Hall's election campaign and his efforts to bring God fearing morals and virtues into schools.  Defeating woke ideologies, boys in girls sports, pornographic material in school libraries, and indoctrination.  We ask tough questions like how are our schools safer and what is being done to protect our kids from school shootings?  Is there a plan to educate our kids about gun safety? We dive into deep conversations about how our schools moved from focusing on on test scores, literacy, math and history, into places of indoctrination about socialism, transgenderism, and activism.  Then what we are doing to get back to legitimate education.  We discuss how our communities and leaders must do more to protect our children from not only violence but from social ideologies that will destroy their hearts and souls.  This episode tackles the importance of God, family and traditional values that lead to personal development, rich self-esteem, affective leaders, and strong societies.  Teachers, parents and school board leaders must espouse and stand up for conservative values.
