The Reason We Learn

This is a short (very) clip taken from my longer conversation with David. It was such a fun conversation, I hope you'll check out the whole thing! Fellow Gen-Xer David Krae joined me for a conversation about the current cultural trends known collectively as "Woke" culture, looking at them (and "interrogating" them, as the kids today say) through the lens of our Gen-X childhoods. We cover TV, movies, education, parenting, working in corporate America, Hollywood, and the government, and so much more! Check it out! David Krae is a film director, actor, producer and author. After years working on both sides of the camera as an actor and crew member on various film and television projects, in 2006 he directed the independent feature film The House, which was featured as an Official Selection of the Canadian Filmmakers' Festival.

Kelly is back, this time with a report for us about the Whole Child Community School Model, and why parents need to be very concerned about it. Kelly is an independent researcher, education advocate, and host of the "A Time to Stand" podcast where educational concerns, parental rights, and politics are discussed. In California, some of the nation's greatest educational concerns are created and implemented. Witnessing these concerns firsthand led Kelly to begin extensive research, speaking at school board meetings, and traveling to Sacramento for California Department of Education and Capitol Hearings. She has trained groups of parents and taxpayers and now has a following that extends across the country. Wherever Critical Race Theory, Social Emotional Learning, Comprehensive Sexuality, Community School models, Equitable Math, and more are implemented, Kelly, and many others like her, will be there to stand against these concerns and equip you with information on these and more. For Kelly, this is our children’s and our nation's welfare and well-being that is at stake. She invites everyone she meets to be equipped and join in this effort because now more than ever it is A Time To Stand.

Kelly Ske joined me again today, this time to discuss the CDC's Whole Child Community School Model, and during the show, the question was asked: "Is there a different or better identity for kids to hold other than a gendered one, or is gender so base that it will occupy a lot of their ID?" I chose to take on the question of "identity" as it's discussed in "educational" spaces in general, and with children specifically, because this is a topic we really need to debate much more than we have been!

Kelly Ske joined me again today, this time to discuss the CDC's Whole Child Community School Model, currently in various stages of implementation around the country. Check your state's DOE/DPI website; guaranteed it's mentioned there. No, it doesn't matter if you're in a "red state." We have serious questions about what the impetus for this was, never mind the evidence supporting it. It represents a massive encroachment on the American family, and places parents at the BOTTOM of list of inputs. Parents, take notice. When people promise you help you didn't ask for, and don't need, while taking money out of your pocket to pay for it, you should probably do some investigation into what the heck they're doing, and why.

Time is running out for public comment in the second revised draft of the California Math Framework. If adopted, districts around the state will be encouraged to use this framework to transform the way they teach math in K-12. David Margulies graduated from UC San Diego with a Ph.

In this show, I welcome back Alaric and Christie to talk about constructivism, psychology, and linguistics, and how they are the elephants in the room no one seems to be talking about. We hear a lot about Marxism (and its varieties; race and gender in particular), but if those are the vehicle, the drivers are constructivism, psychology and linguistics. You can read more of Professor Naudé's writings on his website: https://www.naude.eu I highly recommend his book, The Babylon Cypher, as well. You can purchase it from Amazon, or from his website.

The National PTA and PBS are reaching back to 2018 to lie to parents about how they should (not just can, but SHOULD) use PBS programming to foster "a love of reading." #K12 #reading #PBS

Welcome to new viewers! I hope you will consider subscribing and joining me in shining a bright light on what's happening in America's schools! From political indoctrination, to plummeting literacy rates, the system is broken, and our kids need our help. I realized most parents don't really know what's going on, or aren't sure what to do about it, and decided to do what I could to help. Information is power, so I created this channel to empower parents, teachers, administrators, concerned taxpayers, and anyone else who's as concerned as I am that our schools, and our kids, are being used to push an anti-reason, anti-liberty, anti-human, anti-American agenda.

The PTA isn't what it used to be, that's for sure. Wait until you hear what an official from the VA state PTA said about parents opposed to CRT in Fairfax County.

Why am I making videos exposing the escalating threat of cultural marxism, racism (masquerading as "anti-racism"), and other irrational ideas in our schools, and consequently, our society? Because my personal and educational philosophy compel me to.

Being "Woke" may equate with being "virtuous" to some, but not to me. I have no desire to measure my worth against some arbitrary set of standards created by people so thoroughly committed to rejecting reason and reality. In this video, offer my .02 about what it means to be UNwoke, and why I'm proud to say that's what I am. Here's the article I'm responding to from Red State: https://redstate.com/sister-toldjah/2020/11/18/woke-author-tries-defining-what-the-opposite-of-woke-means-and-the-responses-were-perfect-n281570 Support this channel: Paypal: https://www.paypal.me/thereasonwelearn Contact me: Website: http://www.debfillman.com Instagram: @the_reason_we_learn
