E25: The Hidden Battle: Navigating Conservative Values in Higher Education w/ Kristine Sposato
09/20/23 • 67 min
Strap in for a compelling journey into the world of higher education as we welcome Kristine Spasato, author, founder, and program director of RISE Student Coaching. Kristine unveils the struggle of conservative students navigating college campuses— a struggle rooted in bias, discrimination, and a radical shift in what is perceived as normalcy.
It's a tough terrain, but Kristine has been there, done that, and written a book on it! We dissect the overwhelming liberal bias in academia, its impact on conservative students, and the role parents can play in safeguarding their children's traditional values. Kristine's experience pinpoints the harsh realities and provides practical tools to counteract the indoctrination that is rampant in academic institutions.
Moreover, we delve into the reality of how extreme manifestations of bias aren't just emotional, they're physical. Kristine's advice for parents— setting clear boundaries, enforcing non-negotiables, and facilitating open conversations— serves as a guiding light to those wondering how to support their children in an increasingly liberal academic setting. Join us for this enlightening conversation, and arm yourself with the necessary tools to navigate these challenges. You don't want to miss this!

E24: Never Again Starts With Me: Holocaust Education w/ Carolina Simon of Zachor Shoah
We're pulling back the curtain on Holocaust education with Carolina Simon, the brilliant mind behind Zachor Shoah. Carolina's innovative approach emphasizes not just the historical facts but the human stories that are often glossed over. We delve deep, discussing the challenges of teaching such a dark chapter of history to young people.
Get ready for an intellectual adventure that takes us from the past to the present. Carolina uncovers the connections between the Holocaust, anti-Zionism, and modern anti-Semitism. The discussion moves beyond the theoretical and into the practical, proving that understanding history is not just about the past, but about shaping our future.
Finally, we examine the role of the US Constitution and its significance in preventing the repetition of the past's monstrosities. We'll compare it with the Weimar Constitution to see how these documents can either safeguard or foster a ground for prejudice and violence. To round off our immersive journey, Carolina takes us on a virtual tour through her unique study trips, giving us a glimpse of the transformative power of walking in someone else's steps.
