I am the Director of Race and Equity at UCLA, and my recent posts have stirred controversy. I expressed strong opinions about certain individuals, including comments on free speech and the death of public figures. I noted that my role involves revolutionizing DEI in higher education. After facing backlash for my remarks, particularly regarding Charlie Kirk, I deactivated my BlueSky account. Additionally, there have been issues with the UCLA EDI website, which is currently showing an error page.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The discussion centers on school choice as a solution to the failing public education system, which speakers characterize as a monopoly plagued by Marxist ideology and union influence. They highlight geographic, state-mandated, and teacher certification monopolies that stifle competition and innovation. Corey DeAngelis, an education policy expert, advocates for "funding students, not systems," arguing it shifts the focus to parental rights and better outcomes. Research suggests school choice leads to reduced crime, teenage pregnancy, and increased graduation rates. Studies also indicate that competition from private and charter schools can improve public school performance. Speakers criticize faculties of education for low academic standards and leftist bias, perpetuating ineffective teaching methods like whole-word learning and self-esteem training. They note the teachers' unions' disproportionate financial support for the Democratic Party, hindering bipartisan progress on school choice. The conversation touches on the impact of COVID-19, which exposed the ideological leanings within schools and mobilized parents. They discuss the success of universal school choice programs in states like Arizona and Florida. Concerns about low-income families being left behind are addressed with data showing that school choice benefits these families and increases parental involvement.

Speaker 1: I'd also say on the teenage pregnancy thing, found a reduction in crime but also a 38% reduction in paternity disputes which could be caused by out of wed lock births or teenage pregnancies. Another separate study in New York City was a charter school experiment. They found that winning a lottery to go to a charter school in New York City decreased the likelihood of crime for male students by a %. Speaker 0: Republicans don't have a hope in hell of ever winning the culture war if they allow faculties of education to maintain their hammerlock on teacher certification. Everything else as far as I'm concerned, it's blowing in the wind. Speaker 1: And if Democrats Democrats are smart, the way that we can get towards bipartisanship on school choice is through. Speaker 0: Hello, everybody. I'm speaking today to doctor Corey D'Angeles. He has a PhD in education policy, which under normal circumstances wouldn't necessarily be a good thing. But he graduated from the Department of Educational Reform at the University of Arkansas, and that's one of the rare schools, maybe the singular schools, that isn't, you know, terribly bloody Marxist in its fundamental orientation with, you know, a smattering of incompetence thrown in there just for just for good measure. I've been following doctor D'Angeles Corey on X for a good long time. He's one of these one man wrecking balls, one person wrecking balls like Leila Micklewate who's fighting the good fight against Pornhub and Robbie Starbuck who's a complete bloody army in relationship to calling corporations out for their foolishness of their DEI policies. And Corey's been distributing the word in relationship to school choice. And school choice is a matter that's bigger than you might think, even though it has become quite a hot political issue. Because the school system, the public school system is a failure in many ways. It's extraordinarily expensive. It's expansive. And it does an absolutely dismal job of what it should be doing, which is educating children. At least teaching them to read, let's say a bare minimal standard of literacy. And although it turns out to be quite effective as a propaganda machine, there's a variety of reasons that it's rotten to the core. But the fact that it's a monopoly is definitely one of them and we delved into that topic in great detail. If you're a parent and you're concerned about your children's future, if you're concerned about your rights as a parent, if you want to have the option to find a educational institution of high quality so that you can give your children the start they need in life and also to protect them against a substantial amount of ideological warping, then the issue of school choice should be something that's paramount in your attention as it has become for for for many people in The United States. In any case, we delved into the rationale for school choice from the free market and libertarian perspective, but also from the perspective of parents' rights. I suppose a cardinal question of our time is, well, just whose children are they? And I think the right answer to that question is children should be watched over by those who have their best interests most firmly at heart, and that's inevitably going to be parents. And so it's in the service of children that parents have the rights right to determine the educational pathway that they can pursue. And even though parents might not be able to do that on their own, because educating children is a difficult job, they're certainly in the best position to make intelligent choices about the direction to take if those choices are available to them. And so Corey's been working very hard on making that possibility a reality for parents. And so that's what we talked about today. Well, Doctor. DeAngeles, hey, I got to make sure I'm pronouncing that exactly right. Am I pronouncing that exactly right? Speaker 1: Yeah. DeAngeles like Los Angeles, but I'm not I'm not a real doctor. I'm more like a Jill Biden doctor. Got a PhD in education policy. Oh, yes. Where from? University of Arkansas. Speaker 0: I see. When did you get that? Speaker 1: Pretty recently, actually. Well, I'm getting older now. It's 2018 or so. I got the PhD, and I studied school choice How many people brainwashed? I didn't. It was actually the Department of Education Reform. So, 99% of education PhDs are Marxist institutions. Yes. This one was housed in the College of Education, but not a lot of people liked us there because it was the Department of Education Reform. Just the very name of the department implied that we're trying to shake things up to try to improve the education. Speaker 0: You said 99% of education PhDs are Marxists? I think it's higher than that. Speaker 1: 99.5%. Speaker 0: Yeah, And the rest of them are socialists. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And so how did that institution come to exist and why does it still exist? Speaker 1: I think it originally was funded by a grant from the Walton Family Foundation and it still exists. There's professors there, my advisor's named Patrick Wolf and the journal of school choice is actually housed in that department. And Patrick Wolf did a lot of the early evaluations of voucher programs like in DC for example. They were able to use random lottery to determine the different outcomes for kids in the public schools versus the private schools. Much like a medical trial, you do the placebo for the kids who lose the lottery, which is the public school system business as usual. If you win the lottery to get a voucher to go to a private school, Wolf's evaluation for example in 2013 found about a thirty percent increase in the likelihood of graduating from high school from getting more educational opportunities through the voucher. Can see That was random? Yeah. Randomized control trial. So, you can say with a big enough sample with certainty that this is not because of the family characteristic of the students, not because of the student's racial background or their income, it's because of them getting a better opportunity to go to a better school. So, I did that research when I started. My first study was actually with Doctor. Wolf and we found that the Milwaukee voucher program that started in 1990, we found a huge reduction in crime later on in life. So, shouldn't shouldn't be very surprising. Get a you're more likely graduation rates? Didn't control for graduation, but it's probably closely linked. If you're more likely to graduate, you're probably going to be more likely to get a job, less likely to be involved with the criminal justice system. Speaker 0: Yeah. Oh, well, okay. Let's back up and do a big picture overview. You should perhaps let everybody know. Well, two things. You've authored or co authored two relatively recent books. Right? One of these, this is The Parent Revolution. And that's this year's twenty Speaker 1: Twenty twenty four. Speaker 0: Twenty '20 '4. Wow. So essentially this Pretty recent. Yeah. And then there was another one that you co authored. What's the title of that? Speaker 1: Mediocrity. Right? Speaker 0: Right. Speaker 1: 40 Ways Government Schools Are Failing Today's Students. And it was on the fortieth anniversary of the Nation at Risk Report, which came out, which basically said that, Look, our outcomes are horrendous and things haven't gotten any better since then. In some cases, they've gotten worse and we spend a lot more money than we did back then. Speaker 0: Well, that's better, at least Speaker 1: for the people who have the unions. We spend about $20,000 per student per year now, which is about 52% higher than average private school tuition in this country. That spending in the government schools has increased by about 164% inflation adjusted since 1970. Have the outcomes gotten 164% better? No, obviously not. But it's because they're not focusing on math and reading, they're focusing on gender ideology and critical race theory in the schools. And if you're focusing on those things and teaching kids to hate your country, it shouldn't surprise us that the academic outcomes aren't getting any better. Speaker 0: Yeah. So why don't you explain exactly what problem you are attempting to address? How would you characterize your because there's you're you're an interesting person because lots of people are focusing on the dismal plight of the schools, let's say, and their dreadful expensiveness. You know, 50% of US state budgets are spent on K-twelve education. Right? 50%. So that means essentially that the teachers unions have a hammerlock on 50% of the state budgets. It's worse than that. It means that the faculties of education, we can talk about them in some detail, because they have a monopoly on teacher certification, basically have their what would you say? Their status is subsidized by half the money that Americans spend at the state level. Yeah. Right? And it's the only way they can survive because I don't know if there's a more dismal faculty than the faculties of education. Social work might compete. Speaker 1: They have the lowest scores on all the SATs and other academic credentials and they also have a monopoly, a geographic monopoly when it comes to the K-twelve government school system where in most places in America, you live where you live and you're assigned to a school just based on your address, which gives them no incentive to spend additional dollars wisely. I mean, just imagine if you had to shop at a government grocery store that you were assigned to based on where you lived and they had empty shelves, no food. When they did have food, imagine if you got food poisoning where it was expired. If you wanted to go somewhere else, they'd tell you to go complain to the grocery board who wouldn't listen to you and would try to cut off your mic, which is what happens with the school boards right now. If you had to just move houses to get access to a better grocery store, that would make zero sense. Or if you had to pay twice, basically once through taxes for the government grocery store you're not using, and then again out of pocket for a grocery store that actually provided you with healthy food. That's what we have with the government school system today. You cannot go somewhere else unless you pay twice essentially, and low income families are basically just screwed in the worst failure factories that we call public schools today. In places like Chicago, they have like 33 public schools with 0% math proficiency rates and they spend about $30,000 per kid. Guess what? Their teachers union boss, Stacy Davis Gates, she sends her own kid to a private school. She knows better than anybody else that their schools are not working for kids. And that's the main problem that I see and everything else trickles out from that monopoly issue. They don't have an incentive There's a Speaker 0: number of different monopolies operating that you just described. There's geographic monopoly, and that's a good analogy. So there's no competition. The problem with no competition is that when there's no choice, there's no real incentive to do the hard work that produces improvement. And there's actually no possibility even for comparison between different systems, right? So without competition, you don't have any possibility of really head to head evaluation, right, and no necessary incentive for innovation. So there's a geographic monopoly, which you just described. You send your kids to the school that's in your location and that's that. And then there's a state mandated monopoly because you have to send your kids to And then there's a teacher certification monopoly. So we actually Speaker 1: And that trickles down from the university level into the k to 12 system. Speaker 0: Right. Right. Okay. And now so you've fundamentally concentrated and does this include your doctoral research? You fundamentally concentrated on the issue of choice per se? And were you interested in choice as an economist might be interested in choice or why were you Speaker 1: interested in Yeah. Did my bachelor's and master's in economics. Oh, yeah. And I had a professor there, John Merrifield was his name. He's now a retired professor, but he was probably the only free market professor at the University Texas San Antonio that I knew of and I had him, I took all of his classes, he was my advisor. He was affiliated with the Friedman Foundation at the time, which is now called Ed Choice, is a school choice advocacy group. He was the one who directed me or suggested to me at least three different times, Hey, you should probably do this PhD program. And I ultimately took his advice and I'm glad that I did. And that's how I look at the school system. I see it as one of the most socialist institutions that we have in America today where the government operates the means of production, the schools that you have, whether you want to call it the local, state or federal government, they all have their hands into the government school system and taxpayers have to fund it and there's a monopoly. Monopoly. Speaker 0: They there's no competition. What's the percentage of Democrat Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 0: Financial support from teachers' unions across The US? Speaker 1: Yeah. If you look Speaker 0: at It's in the high nineties if I Speaker 1: remember 99.9% of Randy Weingarten's union. She's the head of the American Federation of Teachers. She lobbied the CDC to make it more difficult to reopen schools during COVID. That's another story altogether. They knew they could hold children's education hostage to get billions of dollars in ransom payments and so called COVID relief that started in 2020 because they knew if they were closed, they could say, We need more money because we're closed. It's the same story as we see with the test scores. They say, We're failing because we need more money. It's the definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results. Speaker 0: They're not doing the same thing because they keep ramping up the mounted costs. Yeah. Right? So it's worse than the same thing. Speaker 1: Their same thing is always give us more money and it never improves Speaker 0: anymore. Smaller classes, more money. Speaker 1: Yes. And in every other industry, if you think about what smaller class sizes actually means, that means lower units of production output for the same inputs. Yeah. Everywhere else, you increase your production over time with more technology. Speaker 0: Well, in principle, you'd assume that much of the heavy lifting could have been done by computational technology. Think that's particularly true if it was applied properly for you know when you're teaching children basic skills, likely reading is the best example of this. So when children learn to read contrary to the whole word theorists who are also a product of the faculties of education and devastated literacy in their theoretical stupidity. So English obviously is a phonetic language and the way you learn to read is that you learn to associate sounds with letters and that's actually a rather dull process. There's nothing intrinsically not there's little that's intrinsically interesting about that. Some kids will treat it like a puzzle. Some children can associate letters with sounds very rapidly and some take much more practice. That's IQ dependent fundamentally, although it's there are other contributing factors. You can have high IQ kids with dyslexia, but it's basically an IQ phenomenon. But what you wanna do with little kids is continual exposure and practice because they need to produce little neural circuits that recognize each letter and that use the conjunction between the visual system and the auditory system in the brain to tag each letter with a sound. Letters first, two letter combinations, three letters, small words. Then as you develop expertise, phrases, you get in a single glance and maybe even sentences if you start to become stunningly proficient. Right? Computers are unbelievably good at the first part of that. Mhmm. Right? Because they're they're incredibly patient and they can give you immediate feedback. And so at least in principle, it would be possible to augment teachers with appropriate technology and increase their efficiency and we've seen none of that. Right? Speaker 2: None of that. In business isn't just about offering an amazing product or service though that's certainly essential. What truly sets thriving companies apart is having powerful reliable tools working behind the scenes to streamline every aspect of the selling process. These are the systems that turn the complex challenge of reaching customers and processing sales into something that feels effortless and natural.

Speaker 1: And the reason that we see so many of people in the Democratic party fighting against things like school choice where families can take their money somewhere else other than the government run school is because of that money laundering operation that we just addressed where the teachers unions send almost all of their money, 99.9% to one party, the Democrat And so even though Democrat voters want a better education for their kid and they want choice as well, The teachers' unions influence those elected officials. It's special interest politics at its worst. They also influence them to close the schools as long as possible. You had the Chicago Teachers' Union tweet out during COVID that the push to reopen schools is rooted in sexism, racism, and misogyny. Speaker 0: Yeah. But everything is rooted in sexism, racism, and misogyny. Threw every buzzword at the wall. Every Genderism, you know. Speaker 1: And I'm glad that that's not working anymore. I think that unions actually stepped on a rake. They overplayed their hand during the COVID era and that showed families what the heck was happening in the classroom. We wouldn't have known a lot of this Marx ism was in the government run schools. Maybe some families saw it here and there, but for the first time ever as a country, we were able to at large scale get a peek into some of the far left lunatics who are running the government run school system through remote learning, which let's be really should have just called it remotely learning. There wasn't a lot of learning going on, but families have been mobilized more than they've ever been before. Since COVID, we've had 14 states now, all controlled by Republican legislatures, go all in on school choice. Arizona is one of them, one of the first actually, to allow families to take that money that would have gone to their government school to a private or charter school or Okay. Speaker 0: Let's take apart this issue of choice because it would be easy to assume that you're an advocate of something approximating parental freedom, That parents have the right to choose, let's say, the value set that defines the education of their children. But it sounds to me more that your primary concern wasn't so much the freedom of parents to choose as it was your observation of the fact that in the absence of competition, so in the presence of a monopoly, particularly a government run monopoly, the probability of low quality is a %. Is that is that It's Speaker 1: both of those things. Actually more so than the outcomes, it's more so about parental rights and who gets to direct the upbringing of their children. I got into this as a libertarian, a limited government Speaker 0: Okay. So you're making two arguments. One is It's Speaker 1: an outcome based and also yeah. Values as well. Whose children are they? They're not the government's kids. They're not the teachers union's kids even though they just posted recently right before we came here that we got to protect our kids. They always use language of ownership of a it's a communist ideology and I think that's what woke up so many people with recent elections too. You look at the Trump versus Harris election, Republicans typically don't do well in education because they don't throw more money at the problem. But right before the election, there were two nationally representative surveys by Atlas Intel, was the most accurate pollster in 2020, and they correctly predicted Trump winning all the swing states in 2024. They both found that Trump was beating Kamala Harris on education, and I think that's because it's changed from a conversation about who's going to throw more money at the problem to who's going to respect my right as a parent and Trump won the parent vote by nine points too. Speaker 0: All right. So back to the issue of let's see, we've covered school choice on an economic grounds. We've covered school choice on a parent's right ground. The next issue might be let's talk a little bit about the Marxist element. Okay. So I'd like to focus for a moment on the faculties of education. Okay. As I intimated earlier, I don't think there is there is a more corrupt and intellectually bankrupt faculty than the faculties of education. My experience with faculties of education as a psychologist is that the worst of all psychological theories are always picked up and amplified, magnified, publicized by educational psychologists. Okay. So let's take that apart a little bit. Whole word learning is a good example. Right? So whole word learning was predicated on the idea that expert readers read words at a glance. They don't sound them out or phrases even. And so since the experts do it that way, it would be reasonable to teach children to do it that way right from the beginning. Now that presumes that experts read when they learn to read the same way they learn they read as experts, which is a completely preposterous idea neurologically, but that didn't seem to occur to any of the people who are pushing it. And the introduction of whole word reading, if I remember correctly, into the California school system knocked California from number one in childhood literacy to number 50, if I remember that correctly. Okay. So whole word learning's been a complete bloody disaster, but it's still often utilized. And then there's the self esteem training. There's another terrible idea from psychology. First of all, the idea that there is such a thing as self esteem. So you can model self esteem with extraversion and neuroticism. So people with high self esteem are low in neuroticism. That's the primary issue. So they they're they are less likely to feel negative emotion, and that's a temperamental trait. Maybe there's some environmental contribution, but not a lot. And then they're more likely to be extroverted because that's positive emotion. And so if you're low in self esteem, you tend to feel a lot of negative emotion, particularly in women negative emotion is self directed. So women with high negative emotion have a lot of bodily concerns for example. They're self conscious. Right? And that's that's not it's not an attitude. It's not a cognitive set. It's a temperamental feature. And the evidence that you can do something about that with something like self esteem training, well not only is it thin to say the least, there's reasonable evidence to presume that teaching children to concentrate on their emotional experience actually makes them worse. So the psychologists who laid out the big five personality template using statistics to begin with, the most common measure is the Neo PIR and its measure of neuroticism, negative emotion, has facets. One facet is literally self consciousness. So thinking about yourself and being miserable are so tightly associated that you can't distinguish them statistically. So if you get children to dwell on their negative emotional experiences, then then you tend to exacerbate the problem. Speaker 1: Yeah. Exactly. Speaker 0: Yeah. So So anyways, you can't use self esteem training to Speaker 1: So when we started seeing the videos from Libs at TikTok and other words otherwise with of critical race theory in the classroom and teachers bragging about how they were injecting gender ideology into the schools. A lot of people would ask me how prevalent is this stuff anyway and it's like I'm seeing it all the time and parents are complaining about it at the school boards where they were later labeled as domestic terrorists for doing so and they had their mics cut off. But there was a nationally representative survey that just came out earlier this year in January that found that 36% of kids in high school reported that their teacher often or almost daily said that America is a fundamentally racist country. There were a lot of other findings in that survey as well as by Education Next and that was the first that I saw that this is actually a wide scale phenomenon. My first reaction Speaker 0: It's the norm. Yeah. Speaker 1: When people would like I didn't have like a data point to point to and I had to set When was Speaker 0: this? When did you figure this This Speaker 1: survey was January. This just happened. Speaker 0: Oh, oh. So, you didn't realize how widespread it was until that You Speaker 1: know, because I get asked this all the time like, Corey, is it really a big problem? And I'd say, well, we're hearing about it all the time. If it's a big problem for this parent, then this is a big enough deal us to change something, right? If that parent is unhappy, they should have a choice to go somewhere else even if it's only 1% of the time. Well, now we know it's not just 1% of the time. Speaker 0: It's all Speaker 1: the It's everywhere and Speaker 0: Yeah. Well, conceptualizing it as a problem in some sense is misleading because a problem implies that there's a normal course of events and some aberrations. That's just not the case. The the the entire education system, and this is a consequence of the operation of the faculties of education, is radically resentfully leftist Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 0: At its core. The aberration is any learning that happens outside of that philosophy. And so I want to tell you about a study we did because this is relevant to the faculties of education. So I Speaker 1: did Speaker 0: this study with a student of mine, Christine Brophy, master's student. We were gonna follow-up on it, my academic career exploded shortly thereafter. But it was a good study. The first thing we wanted to do was to assess how political beliefs clump together. You can do that statistically by looking at the you can say imagine you ask a large number of people a large number of questions. You can see across people whether answering one question predicts in a given direction predicts answering another question in a given direction. So then you can clump the questions, and so you can you can analyze how belief statements aggregate. So the first question we wanted to ask answer was it was there a coherent set of politically correct political beliefs? Because back in 02/2015, the idea of political correctness that there was a coherent body of beliefs was parodied or pilloried as a right wing conspiracy theory, which, you know, was on the face of it absurd, but it still needed to be demonstrated. We actually found that there was two forms of politically correct belief systems. One was more like classic left wing liberalism. Right? But there was a smaller group of left wing totalitarians, authoritarians. And so those were people who adopted progressive policies, so called progressive policies, but were also willing to implement them with force essentially. So there was a tyrannical aspect to it. Okay. So once you establish that these groups of beliefs exist, you can look at the correlates or the predictors. Right? So and there's a standard set of features that you would look for in a psychological study. You know this undoubtedly. If you're trying to predict behavior, one of them would be general cognitive ability. So which is essentially IQ, which is essentially something like rate of learning, temperament, big five temperament, and then sex, and then environmental history. And so we used those variables and we found that the best predictor of being a politically correct authoritarian, that's radical left wing authoritarian attitude, was low verbal IQ. Right. So you you can imagine that people will default to a particular kind of simple minded worldview if they can't think critically very well. It was a very powerful predictor. It was the major predictor by a lot. It was better predictor than the relationship between general cognitive ability and grades. Speaker 1: So you're you're less likely to tolerate others beliefs and think of them as a as a as a person. Speaker 0: No. I don't think it's tolerance. No. I don't think it's I think what it is is preference for a maximally simple explanation. So Yeah. Because you can't explain, well, maybe they Speaker 1: have good motivations behind what they're thinking because they can't come up with those alternative Speaker 0: can't critic you can't critic like, America is a racist society. All inequalities are a consequence of systemic oppression. Well, that's one sentence. It's one Yes. For the whole world. Well, that's attractive. Like, we like belief. People like belief systems that collapse into something simple. Okay. There are other predictors. Okay. Being female. Yep. Having a feminine temperament. That was an additional predictor over and above Speaker 1: being That was after controlling This Speaker 0: is controlling for intelligence and being female. The next was having a feminine temperament. Agreeableness in particular, trait agreeableness, empathy essentially. And the next predictor was ever having taken even one politically correct course. Okay. So now why am I telling you this? Well, partly because it's a useful thing to know, But the other reason is is that the students in faculties of education, as you said, have the lowest SAT scores. Okay. Now the SAT purveyors don't like to describe the test as an intelligence test, but it's an intelligence Yeah. It's correlated at like point nine. It's an IQ test. It's just not corrected for age. I wonder Speaker 1: I wonder if why there's selection into the education academia based on these predictors? Is it because going into the school system is seen as an easier job with pretty good benefits and so Speaker 0: Well, that's a good question. Speaker 1: That could be it. Speaker 0: Well, think first of all the admission criteria are low to absent, right? So you can get in. Speaker 1: That barrier to entry. Speaker 0: Right. And it's very frequently the case that if you don't know what you could do, that's a degree that will more or less guarantee you a job. And then the the other potential problem, and I don't know of any research bearing on this specifically, is that the the the security and the holidays, my suspicions are attracts people who are lower in conscientiousness. And one of the best predictors, by the way, of teaching ability apart from general cognitive ability, right, because hopefully you'd have smart teachers, is conscientiousness. Now and conscientiousness also predicts conservative political leaning, not liberal political leaning. Right. So you have kind of a perfect storm in the faculties of education is that they they educate their academic standards are very low for admission, which really matters. Right? And then they tilt radically to the left, which is also something that would be attractive to people who have decreased cognitive ability. They select against conscientiousness because of the work hours and the security. I mean, these are all things. Speaker 1: I had also seen a study that selection into education, you know, degrees was associated with risk aversion too. So if you know you have a union protecting you, you're not going to you have job security even if it's not the highest pay, you're going to have a pension when you retire, you can't get fired if you do a bad job, you're not going to get paid any less if you're not doing as well as the person across the hallway. Speaker 0: Right, you said, I believe, I think it was in the Parent Revolution, I read your both your books in the last week and I don't so I don't remember where this stat came from, but you said that the New York State dispensed with a dozen teachers over what do you remember the period of time? Was that a ten year period? Was it a one year period? Speaker 1: I don't recall. Speaker 0: Okay. Well, the fundamentals very Speaker 1: low. Very low. Speaker 0: Right. Right. Right.

We're not there's a person across the hall showing videos all day and they're getting paid the same or more than more than me. But just because they've been around the system longer. They reward years of service. Yeah. Not much. I mean, I mentioned earlier that spending has gone up by a 64% in real terms since 1970. Teacher salaries on average have actually only increased by about 3% in Speaker 0: real So where's the bulk of the money going? Speaker 1: So I think it's also going to pensions and other benefits too, but it's going towards administrative. Speaker 0: Yeah, yeah. So the same thing that happened at the universities Speaker 1: Same in healthcare. Since February, we have data on this in The US and we've seen that enrollment for students has increased in this public school system by about 5% since February. The number of teachers in the system has increased about twice that rate by about 10%. Yeah. Administrators have increased by about 95%. Speaker 0: Yeah, right. So, it's exactly the same pattern as in higher education. Speaker 1: Yeah. It's become a jobs program for Speaker 0: a Yeah. Well, it's a weird thing. The the administrative issue is a very complicated one because the the problem with the managerial strata, let's say, is that it's very difficult to parameterize the demand. You know, if you're in a complex system, can always see that more could be done regardless of the direction you happen to be moving in. And what that implies is that there's a there's no limit to the number of potential administrative contributions. Right? And then the question is, well, what would limit the growth of the administration? And in a competitive environment, free market principles essentially limit because you run out of money. Right? So you can only hire as many people as you can afford to hire. This isn't a problem with administrative bureaucracies that have an unlimited source of funding. So they're just gonna continue to grow it. I don't know what it is. Five to 7% a year or something like that. Speaker 1: And there's actually been four studies on this. Not a lot, but it's what we have. It's a really niche area of research that the more private and charter school competition in the area, all else equal after they control for all the usual characteristics, the public school teacher salary slightly go up. And now a lot of people say, oh, that's counterintuitive because it's stealing money from the public schools they say, which the money doesn't belong to the schools, it's for the kids. But all that aside, the the because there's also competition, they start to allocate those additional dollars instead of towards administrators, they start to allocate them towards the classroom, towards the teachers, so the teachers who remain actually end better Speaker 0: teachers moving into the private room? Speaker 1: Going to the private sector, stop the kids from going to the private sector because now if you have there's a monopsony situation and a monopoly situation. Monopsy is a monopoly in the labor market. With the government school system, if you want to be a teacher, you basically got to take what they give you. But now if you have more competition in the labor market too, competing for your excellence if you're doing a good job, then the public schools have to say, you know what, we got to treat the teachers better too. So some teachers are underpaid, some teachers are overpaid. Yeah. Depends on, you know, we try to treat everything as one size fits all in our current system, but that's an interesting finding that actually benefits teachers, but also we found in places like Florida, there is a control group of you mentioned earlier about how do we compare systems. In Florida, there's 11 academic studies on this topic, 10 of them find positive effects of competition on the outcomes in the public schools. It's been a rising tide that lifts all boats and just over time you can see it work out in Florida too. So a couple of decades ago, they were at the bottom of the pack on what we call the nation's report card, the math and reading scores. Now, US News and World Report has ranked Florida number one on education. They're at the top of the rankings for the nation's report card and it's not because they pump more money into the system. They spend 27% less than the national average in Florida, but they have school choice for everybody. Same here in Arizona, they have school choice for everybody. If you like your public school, you can keep your public school for real this time unlike with your doctor. Thanks Obama for lying about that. But the public schools in this case actually do get better in response to competition and we have studies all across Speaker 0: the state. Well, it's funny that you even have to make that case. I mean, it's so absurd that Well that we'd have to sit here and discuss whether having more provider of a given mandatory service is going to improve quality. Like, well, how what else would improve quality? What wishful thinking or more money? Well, you can you can spend an indefinite amount of money stupidly and counterproductively. So obviously Speaker 1: I also did one more study on this issue and I haven't brought it up in a long time because I've done like 40 peer reviewed articles on school choice, which is really tough in the academia for The peers are your enemies, not your Yeah, Speaker 0: that's for sure. I'm amazed you managed that. Speaker 1: So I mentioned that first study I did about school choice reducing crime later on in life. It was a very good study, the first of its kind. Long term data, student level data, very rigorous study. One of the reviewers and one of the first places we sent it was a journal called Urban Education. One of the reviewers said, We like the methods and we buy that it's a causal relationship, but they said, You called the students urban students. You can't say that. Are students in urban areas. So, it's like a politically correct thing. Journal. The only reason we said that was because they said urban students in their own About the Journal, total hypocrites on the issue. Why were they allowed to say it? But I wasn't allowed to say it, but they went further than that. They also said that we had to reject this because you didn't talk about how the results relate to whiteness, structural oppression and power. I mean, it's just so ridiculous, but the study I wanted to bring up about competition was actually my home state of Texas. I did a survey experiment with my co authors, so I randomly assigned different surveys to public school leaders in Texas. And one of the treatment group had a randomized note that said on one of the questions, you're going to have a new charter school that's expected Speaker 0: to open Speaker 1: nearby. And I was asking them where they were going to put their money next year, where were they going to allocate resources And the treatment of having a charter school competing with you had the effect of reducing administrative allocations and having more of that money going to the classroom. Any idea why? Well, because they know that they might have they might have to think about where they're going to spend money if they have a competitor. Because if they waste the money, families are going go But Speaker 0: their argument usually is is that obviously it's got to be something like more administrators make for a more effective school system. Speaker 1: That's what they tell you publicly, but privately they know that's all BS, which is what that study because they didn't know what the study was doing. They just thought I'm answering a simple survey question Right. And they didn't know whether the treatment group or not. Speaker 0: Right. How did you manage to You said 40 studies? Speaker 1: Yeah. Peer reviewed. Well, then what other reasons are peer reviewed, but I almost think peer review is a negative indicator at this point. Yeah. Yeah. Peers that are looking at Speaker 0: your study. Yes. Yeah. But but in your case, that's probably not the the truth because the probability that you're going to publish something that challenges the absolutely, man. So the fact that this is exactly what I'm asking you is like how many over how many years did you publish 40 studies? Speaker 1: Twenty sixteen, I want to say it was my first. So what is this? Nine or so years. Speaker 0: So you've published four, five studies a Yeah. Speaker 1: And a lot of them were at the very beginning when I was in grad school because I thought that that mattered for getting an academic job. Speaker 0: Well, matter. Did matter. Speaker 1: But and I I was on the job market, but I I applied to like three schools and most people will apply to like a hundred. Yeah. You're serious. But I knew I was probably going to go into a think tank where I'd be rewarded for my ideas as opposed to being punished with Speaker 0: all You mean when you were on the job market? Speaker 1: When I was on the job market, my first think tank was called the Cato Institute. It's a libertarian think Yeah. I moved to DC while I was finishing my PhD like two and a half years into the program. I ended up finishing it and I've slowed down publications since then, but some of these lefty departments didn't even give me a call. I had like nearly a dozen peer reviewed publications that few years into my PhD program. How do you do that? Speaker 0: So just for everybody watching and listening, so you can you can draw a rough equivalent between number of publications and a given degree. So for example Yeah. With one publication, you you have a master's degree essentially. Although most master's students don't even have one publication. With three, you have a PhD and you have 40. Speaker 1: Yep. Speaker 0: Right. And you said you had a dozen of them two and a half years into your PhD. Okay. Speaker 1: So that's And some of the far lefty departments won't even call me. Yeah. And because they select based on ideology. They don't they don't select based on productivity or intelligence or anything like that. Peer review articles are not the same thing as intelligence, I'll say that. But I found out really quickly that and I'm glad I had a fork in the road. I did have an offer from one academic institution. It was Kennesaw State University in Georgia. Uh-huh. And I think they had like a free market center there, so they were friendly. Speaker 0: How many publications sorry. How many publications did you have when you entered the job market Speaker 1: Approximately. Nearly a dozen. Speaker 0: A dozen. So in principle, you should have been a very hot prospect because dozen publications in most institutions Speaker 1: would give you pretty serious I publish in the Quarterly Journal of Economics. It wasn't like the Speaker 0: Yeah, still, dozens a lot. You know, dozens a lot and that would give you serious consideration for promotion to associate professor at many educational institutions. So, they should have been lining up at your door. Okay. Speaker 1: I also didn't do it seriously. Applying to three schools just to put my feet in the water to see what would happen is not the same thing as what most people do with, they're applying to 100 different schools. True. And so, you know. Speaker 0: Okay. So you didn't have a full test of whether Yeah. Speaker 1: So it it might have not it it might have been I might have gotten more of a fair shake if I actually did a real Speaker 0: Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Fair enough. Alright. So another mystery about you, I would say, is you've had a lot of impact. Speaker 1: How old are you? 33. Speaker 0: Okay. Okay. So you're pretty early on in what would be an academic career, let's And you've you've had a lot of impact, on public policy, but more on public consciousness. And so not only have you produced a remarkable body of research, but you you're very good at public communication. That's a rare combination of skills. So I guess the first thing I'd like to know is I mean, I know about you. I'm probably more prone to follow find and follow people like you. Tell me about how you understand your public influence. Like, how broad an influence do you have? How well are your books selling? And what are your other major dimensions of communication? Speaker 1: Yeah. So this one hit the national bestseller list, USA Today. The New York Times, they didn't put me on their list for some reason, but Trump endorsed the book, Vivek Ramaswamy, Pete Hegseth, Ted Cruz, my senator from Texas, he actually says on the back, you can ruin Randy Weingarten's day by reading this book. So there's that, but I also went to government schools all through K through 12, so I don't know how I did any of this. You can just check out my handwriting in the beginning. It's very horrible. I blame it on my government school education. It's to you, Jordan. I'm going to give it to you right after the recording. But I think the way that I really started to change the narrative when it came to school choice was talking about it differently. These days we can just say school choice and you and I know what we're talking about. But when I first entered the think tank world, I made a deliberate shift to talk about funding students not systems. Oh, is that your phrase? That's my phrase I came up with. Speaker 0: It's good to have a phrase. Speaker 1: It puts the other side on defense because now if you want to argue with me, you have to say why we should fund the system and not the student. So, changes the burden of proof to be on them whereas the school choice supporters for a long time have been trying to explain ourselves as to why families should have a choice as opposed to the other side explaining why Well, Speaker 0: yeah. You should never let the side that you're opposing define the terms of engagement. Conservatives are very bad at that. They're always on the I'll give you an example. So in the last Canadian federal election, I think there were in the debate, the leaders debate, I think there were five topics that were debated. All five of them were picked by the left. Right? So one of them, for example, I Speaker 1: think on their turf already. Speaker 0: While 40% of the debate was about climate change. Right? And so as soon as you debate that, you lose. Right? Because the fact that you're even talking about it means that it's one of your priorities. And so, yeah, you got to get the question right. So you said tell me your phrase again. Speaker 1: Funding students, not systems. It's more transparent. People know like this is the concept of the money Well, they are Speaker 0: the consumer. Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah. And the other thing that is very useful in how I changed talking about this was that it really pointed out the hypocrisy of a lot of the Democrats, not just because they send their own kids to private school, but also because Democrats and other people who are supported by the teachers union, some of the rhinos will support programs where the money follows the individual. Think about it. When we have grocery stores, which I mentioned earlier, we have food stamps. Yeah. We don't say the food stamps must be spent at a assigned Walmart or Speaker 0: a assigned That's a good analogy. Speaker 1: And so we also do this with higher It's not just that we do this with other industries, we do this with education too, higher ed. We have Pell Grants in The US. We have other, the GI Bill. These are taxpayer dollars that can be used at private universities if you want and it follows the decision of the So it's Speaker 0: the equivalent of money essentially, although a little more narrowly targeted. Speaker 1: Yeah, because the status quo would always say we need public money for public schools and my quick response is, will you support public taxpayer dollars for private everything else when it comes to higher ed? You support Pell Grants that go to private religious universities. You support the vouchers when it comes to hospitals. We have Medicaid vouchers. You can take that to a religiously affiliated hospital if you want. We do this with pre k. We have the head start programs. All the democrats support it. It's a pre k program where the money follows your decision to a private provider of pre k, even a religious one. Speaker 3: Did you know that Andre Bocelli, Steph Curry, Justin Bieber, and Tim Thibault share something remarkable? Each of their mothers faced pressure to end their pregnancies, yet chose life. When women experience unplanned pregnancies, they often find themselves at a crossroads, wanting to make the right decision while facing societal pressure. This is where Preborn makes a difference. Their network of clinics provides a compassionate care and essential support for women considering their options, including free ultrasounds. It's incredible how hearing a baby's heartbeat can transform a mother's perspective. Women who see their ultrasound are twice as likely to choose life for their child. If you believe in supporting women through difficult decisions and protecting unborn lives, consider partnering with Preborn. Your contribution directly helps empower women with the resources they need. Just $28 funds one ultrasound, and one 40 can help five mothers choose life for their babies. Monthly donors receive updates with stories and photos showing the impact their generosity. To make a difference today, dial 250 and say baby, or visit preborn.com/Jordan. Again, just dial 250 and say the keyword baby, or visit preborn.com/Jordan. Together, we can support mothers and transform families and futures. Speaker 0: Has that helped Head Start? Do you know? Has it improved its quality? Speaker 1: Head Starts the the Head Start evaluations are horrible. They find that it spends a lot of money. And they don't improve outcomes. Most of the results are no results. Speaker 0: They improve some outcomes. They people are more likely to graduate and they're less likely to be thrown in prison or get pregnant. They don't improve cognitive Speaker 1: I don't think that was the RCT though. I think that was more of like a regression with controls, which Speaker 0: could be still something. Well, the crucial issue is there's no evidence that Head Start improves academic performance, and that's a consequence multiple reviews. And it's really a catastrophe that it's the case. Speaker 1: And the latest pre K evaluation statewide was in Tennessee. Speaker 0: Yeah. When was that? Speaker 1: That was a few years ago. Followed them through sixth grade. Speaker 0: Oh, Speaker 1: yeah. And it was a randomized control trial. They found that those who won the lottery were worse off academically and behaviorally by the end of sixth grade. Speaker 0: Okay. Won the lottery meaning? Speaker 1: You won a lottery to get a scholarship to go to pre K relative to the families who lost the lottery and stayed with their parents. Maybe because their parents So they were worse Speaker 0: behaviorally as well. Speaker 1: Maybe because the parents have a a an advantage at raising their own kids. Maybe they're better at Oh, that's interesting. Because kids at home. Speaker 0: I did a very programmatic review of Head Start in the eighties. So that's quite a long time ago, but the programs had been operating for a very long time. And there were, I think, five major reviews. And at that time, the findings were that Head Start accelerated cognitive performance, so test scores, for a year or two following the interventions, but that by grade six there was no there was no effect, but that the longer term effects seemed to be behavioral and so reduced crime. No. No. They were positive. Speaker 1: They were Speaker 0: positive. Were positive. Less pregnancy, less crime, and higher probability of graduating. So and the the the relevant issue with regards to graduation in principle was that because the kids who had gone to head start behaved better, they were less likely to be held back. But you're saying that the more recent Speaker 1: The recent Tennessee experiment, which is the latest one. Yeah. RCT negative effects on academics and behavior through sixth grade, which is the last year of the study. I'd also say on the teenage pregnancy thing, that's another important outcome that we looked at in our follow-up crime study that was published in the Journal of Private Enterprise. We found a reduction in crime, but also a thirty eight percent reduction in paternity disputes which could be caused by out of wedlock births or, you know, teenage pregnancies. And we also had a there is an Speaker 0: RC That was with Choice. Speaker 1: That was with a voucher program in Milwaukee. Uh-huh. One was not an RCT. We did the best we could with, you know, we even controlled for neighborhood and like single parent households and religiosity. All the all like as many demographics as you could get to control for. But another separate study in New York City was a charter school experiment by Roland Fryer and his co author published in the Journal of Political Economy, I believe in 2015. They found that winning a lottery to go to a charter school in New York City decreased the likelihood of crime for male students because they were the ones causing all the trouble by a 100%. It was a complete elimination for lottery winners through the study period. I don't remember how long they covered, it might not have lasted forever. But through the study period, it was like five percent were incarcerated for the control group in the public schools, lottery winners who got into the charter schools 0%. So all this to say on the Head Start thing, I don't bring up these analogies to say that we should I'm not saying that I support Head Start or Pell Grants or food stamps. I'm saying if we're going to spend the money, we might as well fund the people as opposed to Yeah. Speaker 0: Yeah. No. I understand. Well, I sidetracked a little bit into Head Start because doing that review for me was actually very disheartening. Because the thing about Head Start, and this can allow us to talk about political issues more broadly or conceptual issues, nobody liked the fact that poverty tended to persist multi generationally. And there were reason to assume that if you gave so called disadvantaged kids a head start that a) that might work, but b) that it might even have self reinforcing consequences, right? Because the idea was we take the disadvantaged kids, you give them a bit of an academic boost when they're three or four, and the consequence of that compounds with time. And so they're actually farther ahead of their peers by grade six because they got this head start, you know, and that didn't happen. And that was a catastrophe for the right and the left politically as far as I was concerned because it was a reasonably motivated endeavor. Now I did some arithmetic calculations with regards to Head Start to try to figure out how many adult minutes a Head Start program actually bought a given child, And the answer is virtually none. And also the head start programs were also used as employment programs. So the probability that a given head start teacher had any qualification was extremely low. You know, when you're dealing with three and four year olds, let's say, it's very hard to especially in groups, it's very hard to spend time teaching them anything because just taking care of three and four year olds is such Yeah. Just take Speaker 1: care of Speaker 0: Well, And often not a good one. Now, when I was looking at the positive results, say in the nineteen eighties, the hypothesis was Head Start might not have been good for most kids and probably not good at all for kids who had decent families, but for kids in absolutely Speaker 1: Right? Yeah. Speaker 0: Yeah. Yeah. Well, maybe you Speaker 1: you Whereas if you're taking them away from parents that are already doing a good job Right. You're kind of nudging them in that direction, they're gonna be worse off. Speaker 0: Right. So but you were convinced that the Tennessee data, that's don't Speaker 1: know the That's the latest experiment and it's peer Speaker 0: reviewed Oh, that's usually too bad. Speaker 1: And the head starts that I've seen as far as the RCTs had the fade Yeah. One more thing that I think that I added that was really important to the conversation about school choice. I mean, thing it's not all me, right? It was COVID that helped open the eyes of parents. I was just there with the right ideas laying around at the time as Milton Friedman famously put it. Yeah. That we were taking a bipartisan strategy for a long time to get school choice and I'm sure you've heard this before where people say like school choice is the civil rights issue of our time. We still have elected officials saying these things using left leaning arguments to advance school choice, which I think they're all good arguments. It's true that the lowest income are in the worst schools, that they would benefit the most. School choice is an equalizer, but there's also right leaning arguments you can make about choosing schools that align with your values. The public schools are Marxist, we don't want gender ideology, we want schools that teach you that America is a great country, not a horrible country. And so you can make all these different types of arguments, but when you go into a red state making blue state arguments, these lefty arguments, you might alienate some of the Republican legislators who might say, this isn't my issue, so you know, I'm not going lead on it. And then the Democrats, they're controlled by the teachers unions anyway, you're not going to make much ground with them regardless of the argument you're making. They respond to power, not logic. And then if you alienate the Republicans, we weren't really getting school choice passed in blue states or red states in a meaningful way, but now it's become more of a GOP litmus test issue. Voters have gone to the ballot box and Republicans accountable for being against school choice in Texas, my home We we failed on school choice last year because we had 21 Republicans join all the Democrats in the house to kill school choice. They came up with their arguments about how they were in rural areas and they didn't need to vote for this, but after the primaries, now 14 of them are gone. That was a political earthquake and now for the first time in Texas history, the House has 76 co sponsors to pass the school choice bill, which has never happened and you need 76 votes to pass the school Speaker 0: choice bill. What did you have to do with what happened in Virginia? Speaker 1: Well, in Virginia, we had mister Terry, I don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach McAuliffe on the debate stage. He was the former governor of Virginia and he said that at the final debate, he was up in the polls by a lot. It flipped right after that because parents were pissed. Virginia closed their schools just about more than any other state. They were as bad as California when it came to reopening the schools in Virginia and Glenn Youngkin turned that into an opportunity. He laid out a blueprint for success for Republicans going forward and Glenn Youngkin ended up winning that election by six points with education voters, and that was the number two issue in that election, which is a big deal because education is usually at the bottom. Voters, they rank jobs, the economy, crime at the top. Education was number two, and a Republican won on that issue in Speaker 0: a Well, given that 50% of the bloody state budgets go to K to 12 education, it should be like number one or number two all the time. Speaker 1: You would You would think, but I think for a long time people thought things were fine, right? Before they saw I mean, if you're a high income parent and you're sending your kid to the assigned public school and it's consistently getting A ratings, your kids coming home with A's on their report card, they get into great universities that Speaker 0: are for a long time. Like, when I went to school as a kid, like I hated school. It bored me to death. And but I have to say that my teachers didn't teach me insane things. Right? And so we don't just have to either. Somewhere around mid around 02/2010 things really went sideways. They went sideways in the universities too. Like I saw that blip of political correctness in the nineteen nineties when I was teaching in Boston, but it was mostly outliers. You know, it was the radical fringe. Yeah. Although a lot of them were in the educational psychology departments, but they weren't they didn't have the upper hand. And somewhere around 2010 that flipped hard. I think that those that sort of thing flips partly too. You said you talked about good teachers leaving. Well, one of the things that does happen as an enterprise disintegrates is that it'll hit a point of no return where it becomes so unbearable for anyone competent to be in the system, they all leave. Right? And then, well, then you're just left with the worst of the worst. Right? And then they hire people who are even worse than they are and the whole thing's, you know, going off its railings. And so I guess part of the reason that this has become an issue is because the student the schools moved from merely like traditional incompetence, traditional socialist incompetence, let's say, to absolute bloody insanity and then people started to notice and it was likely the gender issue that And I Speaker 1: think the more that we talk about and see that there's a lot of left leaning bias in the schools that might attract more people to want to change other people's children's views in that direction to select Oh, yeah. So, it's almost like it's a reinforced it's Speaker 0: it's Well, it's I've I've spoken to Republican governors about this on multiple occasions. Speaker 1: Think I met you at RGA, by the way. That's Yes. Speaker 0: That's right. That's right. You know, and I've been beating the drum on this issue not very successfully, would say, that Republicans don't have a hope in hell of ever winning the culture war if they allow faculties of education to maintain their hammerlock on teacher certification, and if they continue to spend half the state's money on k through 12 education essentially that's dominated by progressive Marxists. Like, everything else that is happening is, as far as I'm concerned, it's blowing in the wind. And so I wanna challenge you on a couple of things because I'd like your opinion. See, I can understand the rationale, the logic for your choice approach, and I can see it from the free market perspective. So let's say the libertarian perspective. I can see it from the parents' right perspective. And I appreciate the data that you've you've described in terms of demonstrating that when you do open the market up to competition, you get an increment in quality even on the public side and a decrease in administrative spending. Great. All of that makes sense. But I am wondering if you've hit the nail squarely on the head because I'm and I genuinely want your opinion on this. It seems to me that the fundamental weakness in the system is still that faculties of education have a hammerlock on teacher certification. So because, you know, I know people who are sending their kids to private schools, but the private schools are full of woke teachers too. Right? The Catholic schools are full of woke teachers. Like, it's a pervasive problem. And so I I I wanna know your thoughts on the teacher certification issue because I think what the Republicans should do is just they should just take the monopoly away from the Yeah. Speaker 1: Need alternative certification. So I think you're right that we have to have a multi pronged approach. School choice isn't the silver bullet for everything and neither is alternative certification. We should fight the battle on multiple fronts. And some people do set up this false dichotomy. They'll say, Oh, you're saying school choice will cure everything. Well, not exactly. We should also reform the public school system. You should still go to your school board and try to change things because a lot of kids are still going to go to the public schools whether you have school choice or not. But we also need an escape valve. I mean, example, if you only try to change the system from the top down, which is what we've done partially in my home state of Texas, some good tweaks. They've banned critical race theory. They're talking about banning DEI in public schools this year as well. Have Trump with his executive orders helping out as well, but we have undercover video from a group called Accuracy in Media. They've gone into all these public school districts in red states like my home state of Texas where they've they've gotten these administrators to admit on undercover video that they're still teaching things that are banned. Sure. Of course they are. And they they're they're proud about it. They're like, what what yeah. We're still doing CRT, but we're just gonna tell Speaker 0: it something else. How do you ban ideas? Like this is this is Speaker 1: Behind closed doors, they they continue to do what they want. Speaker 2: What does the future holds for business? Ask Nine experts, you'll get 10 different answers.

Speaker 0: Well, you see this in the universities too. It's like, well, we're we're going to scrap our DEI programs. It's like they're not scrapping. They just say renaming them. They move they just retitle this person and they continue to do exactly the same thing. And you can camouflage what you're doing with words. No problem. It'll take people years to figure it out. So, this is another part. Okay. So So, Speaker 1: I'm not saying that we shouldn't try because it's it isn't perfect enforcement, but we should have both of these. We need down accountability, but also bottom up If you're a parent, you get a whiff of these things happening, even if you can't prove it before a judge and change the school system that way, you need to be able to say, You know what? Screw this. I'm sending my kids somewhere else. Speaker 0: Somewhere else. Yeah. Speaker 1: I think that would give a pressure for the public schools to say, Let's knock it off. I don't want irritate anybody on the left or the right. I'm going to focus on the basics, math, reading and writing and then you're not going have all of them. And so you might say, well, what about the private schools? Some of them, they also operate in this small market right now already when you don't have choice. But when you unleash the market and families can vote with their feet, you'll have a different supply of private schools pop up as well. Especially right now, we're pushing something called education savings accounts. It's like a voucher where you can use it for a private school, but you can also use it for homeschooling, micro schooling. They were calling them pandemic pods during the COVID era where five to 10 children were getting together in a household, like the one room schoolhouse idea. Those are more likely to sprout up and you're more likely to have a thousand flowers blooming. Yeah. Yeah. If you have these low cost options and this has happened in Arizona too. Speaker 0: Think the diversity of school proliferation then eventually solve the ideological Yeah, Speaker 1: because if you only have a couple elite private schools and they're captured by the left, it's kind of like, okay, what can I do now? I'd say that's still better than the status quo where you have zero choices, but at least now you can take the funding. Let's say, if you want to just homeschool your own kids and use it for the curriculum or private tutors, that is a step in the right direction even if it's not maybe Speaker 0: for most of the school choice programs set up so that you could set up a micro school and educate your own children? Speaker 1: Most them now are. And Arizona has an education savings account. They've had one for over a decade. They just went all in in 2022 making available to everybody. They actually crashed the government website in Arizona because so many families signed up right when they opened up the gates. Speaker 0: It's an interesting twist on paying women to have children Cause in some sense that's what you set it up. Right? Well, yeah. Yeah. Because a lot Speaker 1: of Which is what the public school system is already. Right? Speaker 0: Yeah. Right. It's subsidy Speaker 1: for But it's it's a failing system that not a lot of people don't see it as benefit. Well, Speaker 0: if it's $20,000 a year per child and the typical family has two children, the woman has to make $40,000 a year to justify the subsidy. And so that that's after expenses. And so that's that's a very Speaker 1: it's very about a classroom of, you know, 30 kids at $600,000 where's all money going? If the teachers are only making 60,000 a year on average, where's the rest? And it's Yeah. Well, you could figure what, 60 Speaker 0: for overhead in terms of physical plant, something like that. That's only Speaker 1: a hundred 20,000. Know, a lot of them make more than the president of The United States. We have a less a half a dozen or so who make over $400,000 a year. Speaker 0: So, does well, so tell me, where does the so Speaker 1: A of They love building new schools and stadiums. Yeah. So, one of the school districts in Texas, La Jolla ISD made headlines recently because they had a big like a like a big water park at their campus. So maybe that improves, you know, the self esteem of the kids or whatever the teachers are trying to do these days, but it's just frivolous things. And you see this at the university level too, They have these extravagant water parks and tuitions going up to cover these things and also subsidies from the government too. But these micro schools are really shaking things up. The factory model itself is frightened because of this. In fact, when Trend Micro Schools in Arizona was reporting just huge increases in enrollment during COVID because the government schools were closed, so families were figuring it out and a lot of them went to these microschools. The NEA, which is the largest labor union in the country, the National Education Association, they also lobbied the CDC to close the schools longer. They put out an opposition research sheet on Prenda Microschools and their founder, Kelly Smith, because they were so afraid of them basically providing something that they weren't providing to students. They knew they were going to lose funding because public schools are funded based on enrollment counts. And so if you lose some students, you're going to lose some money whether you have a school choice program or not. And in Arizona, you can use those education savings accounts to pay for Prenda microschools and other ones too. Speaker 0: Define microschool. Speaker 1: It's a miniature school and there's a lot of different definitions for it, but basically a miniature private school. And during COVID era, it was basically five to 10 children getting together in households to economize on homeschooling. And you can either do it with one of the parents, you can take turns with the parents doing different subjects or you can even hire a private tutor to do it. Which could Speaker 0: do if it's $20,000 per So what's What is the amount of the typical voucher if school student expenditure Yeah. Speaker 1: It saves taxpayer money and most of these bills are passed at the state level. Yeah. In The US, we're funded in the public school system in every state by the federal level which should not exist at all. The word education is not in our constitution. It's an unconstitutional waste of time and money. But that's only about 8% of the total spending, 8% to 10%. The other 45, 40 five are state and local dollars. These bills are typically passed in state legislatures, so it's about half of the total that follows the students. So let's say on average 10,000 versus the 20,000 that's spent in the government schools. Speaker 0: Is any of that happening locally as well to pull in the rest Speaker 1: of that There have been some local vouchers that have passed in Colorado, a blue state. There was Douglas County had at once a couple decades ago passed the voucher program. It got nixed in the court by a lefty judge and that program is no longer on the books. New Hampshire, which passed a state level program, also proposed a bill a year or two ago in their legislature to also allow the local districts to have the money fall of the child if they opted in as That bill got tabled, that was one that was Speaker 0: So Speaker 1: that revolution has built a think that's the next step in the revolution, but at the same time, if the private schools are doing it for less and if the micro schools are doing a good job for less, do we want all the dollars following the student? I think it should be equal across sectors. If we're going to spend the money, I think the state and local should follow the student, not just the state, but the reality is it's mostly basically everywhere at this point. Speaker 0: Well, know the reality is, as you pointed out, Speaker 1: that there's enough money at Speaker 0: the state level to produce economic incentive for the micro schools, for example. You know, you could imagine five kids together, that's $50,000 a year. That's a pretty good supplement for a given parent's income. So okay. So let's talk about let's see where where should we go now? Yeah. Okay. Effects. So I want to talk a little bit more about your means of communication. You've been working for these think tanks, but your work has received broad public attention. Okay. So now you also said that that was in part because you were in the right place at the Speaker 1: right time. Speaker 0: Yeah. Yeah. That makes a difference. And you've done the background research. Right? So you had a message that was saleable given the state of the zeitgeist, let's say. Okay. Well, that's crucially important. Right? But it's also important to be able to capitalize on that. Okay. So what how would you characterize the consequences of your work so far? What have you what have you seen shifting that you would attribute at least in part to the message that you've been disseminating? Speaker 1: Yeah, changing the way people talk about school choice in terms of the money following the child. There have been a lot of legislators on the House floor, Senate floor talking about funding students not systems, so they've developed my arguments and I think a lot of them follow me on social media and politicians, again, they want to get reelected, they want to look good and so when they're following different influencers on social media, they want to look good in the public eye when they're debating the issue against the Democrats on the House and Senate floor. And so, I think they've adopted some of some of the language and arguments and studies that I've conducted and also cited Is X your most effective? It is for sure. Yeah. I have Facebook and Instagram, but they're not nearly I have over 200,000 followers on X. It's not like crazy, but it's ballooned in a short amount of time and it's Who Speaker 0: follows you? Like, do you You follow me. Yes. I certainly do. Yeah. Speaker 1: Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegseth, lot of the know, Vivek Ramaswamy. There's a lot of influential people who follow me. Lives at TikTok, lot of big accounts. Donald Trump doesn't follow me. Maybe after he sees this episode, he'll jump on the bandwagon. Speaker 0: State governors, state treasurers? Speaker 1: Yeah. So Doug Ducey, who's here in Arizona, he was the first state to go all in on school choice and I have a good relationship with him. He's no longer the governor. He's now Katie Hobbs in Arizona who's hypocrite on school choice. She went to Catholic school and now she opposes school choice for other families, but Doug Ducey was a leader and you needed one state to do it first to show the rest of the states they could. He often uses the analogy of when the first person broke the four minute mile. Yeah. Before the first person did it, I don't remember his name, people thought it was impossible for a human being to run below a four minute mile, but once the first person did it, you had just this cascade effect of tons of people breaking. Now, with school choice, no one thought that any state could do it where it's every family because for a long time, there was an incremental approach on the school choice front. It was decades we're hitting our head against the wall. It was small incremental wins where maybe the lowest income families here, maybe just in the city though they're going to do it, maybe just for special needs kids. But now the barometer of success is do you have a universal program meaning for everybody regardless of income, which these are the types of programs I support. One, because it allows for more competition, allows for a bigger supply side response, more of a market response, but also we're paying for public schools for high and low income families, they should be able to benefit from school choice as well. We don't discriminate based on income for the public schools, we shouldn't discriminate based on income for school choice either. And politics again is all about organized interest pushing for what they want. If you have a small program that not a lot of people are benefiting from, well, the problem there is if Democrats get in charge, they're going to be more likely to be able to take it away because low income families are not as politically active Speaker 0: and Yeah. So let me ask you about that. I've discussed school choice with some of my more intelligent liberal friends and one of their objections has been that the I think you'll be able to address this given what you already said, but I'm gonna lay it out anyways. Parents who are involved in their children's future, in their children's educational options. Given the vouchers, they're gonna do the research and they're going to find the best school to suit their children. But then there'll be the children whose parents can't or won't involve themselves, and they're going to default to the public school system. And if it collapses as a consequence or degenerates as a consequence of funding being distributed widely, then don't we risk setting up a group of kids who are already suffering because their parents aren't involved to fail even worse because they're going to exist within the confines of a degenerating public school system. Speaker 1: You already have that inequality baked into the government school system. You have Baltimore. They have 40% of their high schools have 0% math proficiency rate. You see the same thing in places like Chicago and so they shouldn't make perfect the enemy of the good. And this fear mongering hasn't happened with school choice. The public schools, if anything, have gotten better. I cited in Florida, but we also have nationwide data on this. 26 of the 29 studies on this nationwide find statistically significant positive effects of private school choice competition on the outcomes in the public schools. Even enemies of school choice who are in academia who have any form of honesty at all, they admit that the studies on the competitive effects are positive. The main argument that the unions put forward the worst argument in terms of it being supported by the evidence. But a lot of people respond to fear mongering and so they do Yeah. Speaker 0: It's a reasonable hypothesis, but the fact that the studies have already been done indicating that the Speaker 1: There's one other study on this topic that I think is really important and it was done by Cornell researchers published in 2018 and they actually found that when school choice was introduced, peer reviewed study, when school choice was introduced, the number of searches online for different private education providers spiked. Doesn't seem like a surprising finding to me, probably not. If you have choice now, you can exercise it, you're going to look. The point is school choice increases parental involvement by definition. Yes, there'll be the parents who are involved anyway, but on the margins, the parents who just felt like they were depressed being in the school system where they didn't have any other Now, all of a sudden, you give them $10,000 to seek out a better option, they're not going to be depressed by looking at the private school, so they're going to look they're exercise that Well, it's definitely the case too. Speaker 0: Like I remember reviewing studies probably about the same time I was looking at Head Start on attitudes of the underclass towards their children's education. And look, if people are going to be motivated by anything, they're going to be motivated by the thoughts that their children might have a better future. Right? So and so most parents, for example, regardless of their own literacy levels, would like to have children who are literate and well educated. And they might not know how to do it, but Speaker 1: They know their kids better than anybody Speaker 0: else. They actually care as Speaker 1: That's right. Speaker 0: Yeah. Well, they care as much as they care about anything and they care far more about their kids than anyone else is likely to. Right. Okay. But the critical issue is, as you already pointed out, if these studies and you think the studies that show a salutary effect on public school quality because of increased competition, you think those are reliable. Speaker 1: Yeah. They're they're rigorous studies. There's you can't randomly assign Yeah. It's as good as you can get. And I've cited all the studies on that topic. Speaker 0: Okay. Okay. So let's end with this. Let's end this portion of the discussion. I think what we'll do I Speaker 1: wanted to hit one more thing. I just Yeah. Speaker 0: Well, is what I want to give you the opportunity to do that. So if there's anything else you'd like to bring up, do it do it now and then we'll turn to the dataware On Speaker 1: the issue of whether low income families are benefiting from this, I already talked about the theoretical about how they're in the worst schools already. So they had the most to benefit, most to gain from having more options in their kids' education. In DC, they have a voucher program which I think Obama was against even though he sent his own kids to Sidwell Friends, a private school. School choice for me but not Speaker 0: for Speaker 1: the Again, strikes again, it's everywhere. But we looked at the data most recently in DC and the average family, their average household income was about $30,000 per year for the entire household in the District Of Columbia, which is a higher cost of living area than the average in The United States I believe about 95% of the kids were black or Hispanic. So, this goes completely counter to the narrative that the left is saying about how this is only for rich white kids using the program. In Florida as well, there's a really interesting story about how DeSantis actually won in 2018. He actually barely won the governor's race in 2018 and the headline in the Wall Street Journal the next day was that school choice moms tipped the governor's race for DeSantis. So they looked at exit polling from CNN of all places and they found that black moms in particular came out in force for DeSantis much higher than expected after his opponent Andrew Gillum who was a black democrat called to get rid of their private school choice program that was already benefiting over a hundred thousand kids at the time and those kids were disproportionately low income and non white kids. So this is another way that one, republicans can make inroads with groups that they hadn't reached out to before and it's also it shows you that this shouldn't be a partisan issue and if Democrats are smart, if they're going to bleed votes on this issue to people like Ron DeSantis in Florida, they should come along too and this is something I point out in the book that the way that we can get towards bipartisanship on school choice is through hyper partisanship in the short run because the more that the Democrats lose on the issue like we saw with Terry McAuliffe, Andrew Gillum in Florida, the more they're going to scratch their head and you'll have some defectors and say, I'm going join the kids union and listen to them, the parents, as opposed to just the teachers union. Speaker 0: Well, isn't an obviously partisan issue. It shouldn't. Well, it's like cost cutting in government. It isn't obvious at all why that default left winger would be against getting rid of fraud in the in the political system and political spending. Right? Because then at least in principle, more money could be spent on other projects. Actually work. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 0: Yeah, exactly. And this seems to be I mean you can make a perfectly cogent case as you have I would say for how broadening choice It might even preferentially benefit people who are poor and dispossessed. That seems to be highly likely to me because as you pointed out, the worst schools are the ones that are serving the people who are trapped in the in admired in poverty often multi generationally, and I don't see any way out of that than the multiplication of of supply. And it's also the case that the money of a poor person is just as good as the money of a rich person. And so if they have that money at hand, their children are more likely to be valued by people who would like to get paid for their efforts. Right. Right. Right. Alright. So I think we'll turn to the Daily Wire side now, and I think I'll talk to you about a couple of things. I'd like to know about your future plans, strategic and conceptual. Where do you go next? I'd like to know what it's been like for you to deal with the new administration federally and and particularly on the federal level. And I'd like to talk to you more about any pitfalls you see emerging on the school choice side. So we'll talk about the future, we'll talk about strategy, we'll talk about the new administration, we'll talk about potential risks that you might see maybe in the hyper partisan approach, but also in the school choice conceptual domain per se. So we'll turn to that on the Daily Wire side. Everybody watching and listening, you're more than welcome to join us for an additional half an hour behind the Daily Wire paywall. Thank you very much for coming. Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Speaker 0: Yeah. Yeah. It's really good to have you here and appreciate it. And, you know, you're you're spending your time educating people too and letting them know, well, exactly how they should be thinking about the fact that their children are sent to a pathologically unproductive monopoly. Right? That eats up half the resources at the state level. Right? It's really something. It's really something to see. So alright, everybody. You can join us there.

I uncovered a shocking situation at Richardson ISD, where the DEI administrator, Angie Lee, discussed how biological boys could share rooms with girls on overnight trips. During an undercover conversation, she mentioned that arrangements are made on a case-by-case basis, often without parental approval.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Freshman year was terrifying due to bullying, harassment, and assault from another student. My only refuge was choir class, where I connected with Mr. Stearns, who became my safe person. As a vulnerable 14-year-old, I accepted his hugs and affection, not realizing the inappropriateness. Despite my mother's concerns about our closeness, I felt alone and naive. The school district had a history of covering up sexual abuse by staff, and my reports of bullying were dismissed due to lack of evidence. My mom complained about Mr. Stearns' inappropriate behavior, but it was ignored. We eventually hired an attorney, but the response was dismissive, suggesting we were mentally unwell. The school claims to foster a safe environment while blaming the victims. The accountability lies with the administration, and change is desperately needed.

Speaker 0: Freshman year was filled with fear as I was bullied, harassed, and assaulted by another student for months. The only outlet where I felt like I could breathe into my choir class. After the as the bullying progressed, my mental health was increasingly getting worse. I found that my safe person at school was mister Stearns. Mister Stearns and I would talk during lunch together quite often alone in his classroom. As a vulnerable 14 year old girl, I didn't find that it was weird that he'd hug me, kiss me on the head, and tell me that he loves me. I felt alone in this world, and I needed somebody, didn't I? I didn't question it. In fact, I didn't question it when my own mom read up her concerns about our closeness. I was vulnerable I was vulnerable, and I was naive. And the school district had covered up many past previous sexual abuse from former staff members, but this will be the last. I went through 4 months of bullying, and we were never helped by Adam. And we were told there was no evidence because the bullying happened primarily in the bathroom. The school approved mister Shirts to be my safety person. It got so bad we had to hire an attorney. I'm surprised Adam had had the courage to show their face tonight. My mom specifically made complaints about mister Strand putting his hand around my neck as a vocal exercise. That too went swept under the rug. He was my mentor, and I was a young, vulnerable girl. They didn't do anything when students reported her and other students reported stirs or even each other for sexual abuse, sexual assault, and sexual behavior. Saying that we want to foster a safe environment, yet you blame the accusers of being mentally unwell or perclaps. We hired an attorney. Your guys' attorney said, well, what do you expect? It's Columbia County. Wow. Expect to happen now. Yeah. Where did Scott Stockwell? Yeah. Students who were ever being timid because of your guys' arrogance, and you are all to blame. You are all guilty. Burn into the ground start fresh.

Parents are outraged over a California teacher's meltdown after Trump's victory, calling his comments racist and demanding his firing. A Hispanic mother expressed her offense, emphasizing her identity and family support for Trump. The school board allegedly censored opposing views during a meeting, but a parent recorded the incident. The situation has gained significant media attention, with over 25 million views, and has drawn comments from notable figures, highlighting the need for accountability in schools.

BREAKING: Parents WENT OFF on the California public school teacher who had a meltdown in class after Trump won. They said he "made the most racist comment" and "should be FIRED." Parents are "offended," "put [the school board] on notice " & MORE. I have the video. Buckle up👇🧵

@DeAngelisCorey - Corey A. DeAngelis, school choice evangelist

The school board hid the video of anyone speaking against them last night. But they showed video of people speaking favorably about them. I've never seen anything like it. Thankfully, a parent who supports Trump brought their own camera and tripod. Here is that video.👇🧵

Can you guarantee that children of parents who supported Trump will not be bullied in your classrooms? Schools must have zero tolerance for hate speech. Statements like calling a Hispanic man a derogatory term are unacceptable. As a Chicana and indigenous person, I find such remarks offensive. My family has diverse political views, but that doesn't justify racial attacks. This teacher should be fired for their behavior. You need to remember that you are public servants, funded by the community, and can be removed if necessary. What steps will you take to prevent bullying stemming from this teacher's rhetoric? You are now legally on notice; any harassment of children due to this hate speech must be addressed. Thank you.

Can you guarantee that no child that has that teacher, that father or grandfather voted for president Trump, will they be bullied? And if so, what are you going to do about it? It is time that the schools, the school district, stop tolerating hate speech in class. There should be zero tolerance for hate speech to say that a Hispanic man wants to be wiped. That is a racial sorry. I'm offended. I am Chicana. I am indigenous, and my family voted for Trump. I have family members that also voted for Kamala Harris, but does that give me an excuse or anyone else a reason to racially attack them? No. It doesn't. What are you going to do about this teacher? Because he should be fired. There should be zero tolerance for hate speech. And, ma'am, you really need to stop with the gritting. All I see is a room full of parents that are very angry. You need to be respectful. All of you need to be reminded you are public servants. The people pay for you to be there, and the people can remove you quickly. You need to remind yourself that what are you going to do when children start being bullied because of the hate speech that this teacher was saying in the classroom? Again, can you guarantee any of the parents that their child will not be bullied? Because now you are put on notice. If any child is harassed because of the disgusting rhetoric that was put in the class, now you are legally put on notice. Thank you.

A California public school teacher, Mr. Perez, had a heated outburst in class, expressing strong anti-Trump sentiments and making alarming comparisons to Hitler. He criticized students for their voting choices and discussed issues of privilege and patriarchy, emphasizing systemic racism. The school district acknowledged the incident, stating they do not condone such behavior. I also found details about Mr. Perez's role in promoting mental health resources and his salary, as well as the superintendent's high compensation, raising concerns about accountability in the district.

Trump has made derogatory comments about military service members, calling them stupid and cowardly. He avoided serving in Vietnam by allegedly faking medical documents. This raises questions about why he is idolized despite these actions. His wealth allowed him to evade military service, which contrasts sharply with the sacrifices made by veterans. The perception of him as a draft dodger and a coward contributes to a negative view of his character, yet he still won the election.
