E31: Halloween Cancelled, Let Kids Be Kids, and Homeschool Rising
11/01/23 • 22 min
Prepare for an exploration of the crossroads between education and tradition as we dissect the hot-debate issue of cancelling Halloween celebrations in school districts. Witness an engaging discussion that spans from voicing out concerns about traditional values, student financial struggles, to cultural and religious rights infringements. Learn why we shouldn't discard our fun traditions, but should let kids be kids. Speaking of letting kids be kids, learn about a policy in California that requires social workers to ask children as young as 10 about their sexual orientation.
Finally, venture with us into the realm of homeschooling's rise and the challenges that it brings along. Unravel data pointing towards decreasing public school attendance and growing inclination towards private schooling and homeschooling. Hear about the tussle between lack of homeschooling regulations and the mounting pressure on education budgets. We don't just stop at criticisms, we take you into the heart of homeschooling's socialization opportunities and the role of homeschool co-ops.

E30: Calling Evil, Evil: Truth and History Behind the Israel-Hamas War w/ Carolina Simon of Zachor Shoah
Holocaust educator and founder of Zachor Shoah, Carolina Simon, takes us through Jewish history, unraveling the spiritual and historical ties that connect the Jewish people to Israel. She emphasizes the risks associated with distorting these significant events and how it fuels the conflict in Israel and antisemitism around the world. Carolina helps us navigate through the murky waters of propaganda and media influence, which, alarmingly, have driven impressionable university students and faculty to support Hamas terrorists.
Carolina utilizes her expertise to debunk popular misconceptions about the Israel-Palestine relationship. She shines a light on the propaganda-filled narrative of Palestine, and illuminates the reality of how Israel aids its enemies despite continuous attacks. We discuss the misconceptions around Israeli control in Palestine, and the potential implications for Palestinians who choose to leave the country. Prepare to see the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in a new, enlightened perspective.
