  • Trump II: The Orange Tyranny
    Jan 17 2025

    Come Monday, we are in the second Trump Administration (we are calling it "T2A"). What happens Day 1? What can Trump do unilaterally through Executive Orders? Who will be told "You're Fired?" How will Trump's moves immediately impact public education in America? Kristi and Christina dive into these questions and more. All they know is that it's going to be very unpredictable.

  • The University We Won't Be Applying To: Moms for Liberty University
    Jan 16 2025

    Low and behold, the group behind the chaos that has enveloped public schools and that has rejected expertise and education has launched its own university How fitting. In this episode, Kristi and Christina introduce listeners to M4LU. Not to bury the lede, but they did fail the Social Emotional Learning (SEL) "Quiz" provided by M4LU to parents.

  • "Of Questionable Value": The Far-Right's Newest Pro-Fertility Push for Public Schools
    Jan 7 2025

    It's Season 3 of Head of the Class, and what a topic to start off with: public schools as a conduit for "increasing the married birth rate." No, we cannot make this stuff up. In this episode, Kristi and Christina discuss the Heritage Foundation's (yes, the Project 2025 architects) education policy reforms, which are to gut pro-college education and programs for public schools, cut teacher credentialing, and support voucher programs that defund public schools. Real improvements for our nation's public schools? Not so much. Oh, and the reason they want vouchers? To fund private religious schools who have "pro-fertility" education.
