Nicki Neily, founder of Parents Defending Education, joins Freedom to Learn to discuss the troubling trends reshaping our nation's K-12 schools. From divisive racial and gender ideologies to foreign influence in our educational system, Nicki details her organization’s efforts to expose the overreach of activist agendas in the classroom and shares her motivation to champion parental rights and protect students from politicized teaching. We dive into "anti-racist" policies, the truth about transformative social-emotional learning (SEL) programs, and the influence of DEI funding. With alarming revelations about Chinese funding in U.S. schools and the misuse of federal grants, this episode highlights the challenges parents face in ensuring a fair and focused education for their children.
