Beth and Andrew speak with author, professor and conservative commentor Wilfred Reilly about his recently published book, <i>Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me</i>, which sets the record straight on a variety of topics that are mistaught in our nation’s schools.<br /><br />Reilly discusses the real history of slavery and the truth about colonialism around the world. We also talk about how our education system and history curricula became so politicized and we discuss whether a backlash to politicized history and woke ideology is causing a voter realignment among young people.<br /><br />Wilfred Reilly is a tenure-track professor of political science at Kentucky State University. His interests include international relations, contemporary American race relations, and the use of modern quantitative/empirical methods to test "sacred cow" theories. He holds a Ph.D. in Political Science from Southern Illinois University and a J.D. from the University of Illinois College of Law.

On this episode, Andrew and Beth speak with Kim Russell, an activist for preserving girls’ and women’s sports.<br /><br />Russell shares her story about what attracted her to take the position of the Women’s Lacrosse Coach at Oberlin College, a notoriously left-leaning college and how a social media post on trans swimmer Lia Thomas led to her removal from that position. She talks about the culture of fear on campus on speaking out about protecting the sanctity of women’s sports.<br /><br />Russell also talks about how the feminist movement has been turned on its head, as well as the epidemic of anxiety, mental illness and depression amongst college age young women. <br /><br />Since being removed from het position in September of 2023, Russell has been spending most of her time traveling around the country advocating for girls and women in sport and the Women’s Bill of Rights with the <a href="https://www.iwf.org/2023/10/30/coach-kim-russell-joins-independent-womens-forum-as-an-ambassador/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Independent Women’s Forum</a>.

She is on the Board of the <a href="https://usvila.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">US Virgin Islands Lacrosse Association</a> and is their Director of National Teams and 1st ever Women’s Lacrosse Head Coach.

Andrew and Beth speak with education activist <a href="https://twitter.com/esanzi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Erika Sanzi</a> about the Biden administration’s recently released new Title IX Rules. Sanzi gives us a brief overview of the history of the legislation and illustrates how the rules changed dramatically under the Obama administration and then the Trump administration. And now Biden’s new rules bring back kangaroo courts and eliminate due process on college campuses for students accused of sexual harassment. She also talks about how the new rules compel speech and likely violate the First Amendment. Sanzi also explains how the rules make gender a protected class which will inevitably lead to the destruction of girls’ and women’s sports. <br /><br />Finally, we discuss what her organization, <a href="https://defendinged.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Parents Defending Education</a>, is doing to combat Biden’s new rules, and shares her view on why Congress has been absent in this fight.<br /><br />Erika Sanzi is the Director of Outreach at Parents Defending Education. She is a former educator and elected school board member and currently serves on the board of advisors for <a href="https://boysinitiative.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Boys Initiative</a>. She is the mother of three teenage sons.
