The Myth of Education Podcast

Here is a short list of public schools that exposed students to Sharia Law without parental consent: SPONSOR We’d like to thank Sapling CRM for sponsoring this episode.

I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with one of America’s finest patriots! Caleb Collier and I met during our time at Turning Point USA, where we delivered a presentation encouraging Christians to join the fight in protecting K-12 students from harmful ideologies. This “reunion episode” reminded us of why we got involved in defending the Constitutional rights of everyday citizens. Caleb an...

Why is Juneteenth so divisive? A few reasons: * Leftists hijacked one of the oldest commemorations to abolish slavery. * Juneteenth was proclaimed a national holiday under the Biden administration. * Celebrations became mainstream during the height of BLM riots. * Radical activists use the holiday to spread false narratives of systemic oppression. * Most people don’t know and refuse to research Am...

Superintendents from three major U.S. school districts testified about LGBTQ policies that violate parental rights. As expected, these highly educated, six-figure earners gave pre-programmed, circular responses and showed no remorse for corrupting our youth. If the law says children have the right to be sexually deviant behind their parents’ backs, public schools say they have no moral obligation...

A fter the Peoria USD superintendent and three left-leaning board members staged a coup to unseat board member Heather Rooks, we now see evidence of student sexual abuse cover up. When students come forward with information about a district employee, administrators are required to report it to law enforcement. In Peoria, district leaders appear to be taking steps to control the narrative and silen...

When it comes to public education, Arizona is the gum on the bottom of America’s shoes. It’s consistently ranked #49, #50, and even #51 when the District of Columbia is added to the list. A majority of government school graduates cannot read, write, or perform basic match functions. Not to mention all the pedophile activity taking place on K-12 campuses. Parents see the writing on the wall, but ne...

April is Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Awareness Month, but what does this mean for K-12 students? Sexual misconduct from government employees is the number one disciplinary issue in public education. Despite this growing epidemic, law enforcement agencies are not consistently investigating or prosecuting these crimes against minors. If your child was sexually assaulted by a school employee, woul...

K-5 comprehensive sex education (i.e. gender ideology, abortion, and performing sex acts) is mandatory in many school districts across the nation. Despite the US Supreme Court ruling in favor of a parent’s right to choose when and how sex is introduced to elementary-aged children, school libraries and curricula are still full of harmful, perverted materials. How is this possible? Disclaimer: All v...

The pervasive ignorance of secularism explains why people interpret “separation of church and state” to mean Christians can’t pray, read Scripture, or invoke the name of God publicly. This anti-Christ worldview dominates public school policies, curricula, and celebrations. Parents should seek alternative learning methods if they want to preserve their children’s innocence and moral character. Disc...

K-12 schools hide gender transitions, surveys, political indoctrination, and locker room exposure from parents. What else could they be hiding? Did you know constitutional amendments like Arizona’s Prop 139, and legislation known as judicial bypass , makes it easier for a minor to kill her unborn child during school hours without parental knowledge or consent? This is tragic, but all hope is not l...

The religion of Secular Humanism is running rampant in government schools. Secularism is the reason children are taught evolution, social justice, critical race theory, social emotional learning, and LGBTQ nonsense. A return to prayer and Bible reading could be the solution to this anti-God, anti American, anti-common sense worldview. Disclaimer: All views and opinions expressed by hosts and guest...

Deer Valley USD residents voted to approve a 15% override that funded an anti-law enforcement protest during educational hours. Meanwhile the district continues to host School Letter Grade parades at the beginning of every board meeting. A leadership change is absolutely necessary this November. It’s time for parents and taxpayers to get off social media, strategize, mobilize, and occupy the board...

All K-12 funding sources deserve a deep dive. We barely scratched the surface discussing the sources that impact everyday citizens in a real way. Bonds and overrides have kept government schools afloat for decades. If it’s on the ballot, administrators and board members expect taxpayers to comply without scrutiny or question. Maybe it’s time we stop voting to approve these measures. Disclaimer: Al...

In August 2025, two teachers in the Peoria Unified School District were quietly placed on paid administrative leave as police conducted separate investigations. Months later, on December 18, the State 48 News released explosive findings from a 200-page police report alleging both educators were involved in inappropriate relationships with high school students. The Myth of Education Podcast host Ti...

***In this episode, we’re thinking out loud about the current and future state of Arizona’s public schools. This is not an endorsement or an indictment of any candidate. We simply want less fighting over ESA violations and increased accountability for the BILLIONS we’re wasting on government education.*** Disclaimer: All views and opinions expressed by hosts and guests are their own and do not ref...

***One of the most egregious sex crimes took place on school grounds last week. The justice system and the education system both failed to protect an innocent 10-year-old student. Parents are entrusting their kids to a system that can’t perform its most basic function: student safety. This incident left me wondering if Arizona leaders care about children at all.*** Disclaimer: All views and opinio...

Leftist educators are now allegedly receiving death threats after being exposed for mocking TPUSA CEO Charlie Kirk’s death. One thing you’ll never see is a viral video of a conservative teacher mocking the murder of a liberal leader solely because they disagree with their ideas. You reap what you sow.
