E35: The Battle Behind the Classroom with Advocates for Faith and Freedom's Bethany Onishenko
Welcome Bethany Onishenko, legal counsel for Advocates for Faith and Freedom, as we navigate the winding paths of First Amendment rights for educators and parents. We're not just talking; we're knee-deep in controversial topics like free speech on college campuses, mandatory vaccinations, and the removal of religious exemptions. We're pulling back the curtain on numerous court cases that serve as potent reminders of the essential task of safeguarding constitutional liberties. To all conservative educators and parents, here's your reassurance: you're not alone in this fight.
We're challenging the status quo in the realm of school choice, spotlighting a California case where a school district faces a lawsuit for banning critical race theory and implementing a parental notification policy for students wishing to transition genders. This isn't your average classroom debate. This is a battle that needs to make its way to the Supreme Court to set the precedent that clarifies teachers' rights and potentially impacts similar cases across the nation.
We wrap up with a deep-dive into the intersection of religious freedom, free speech, parental rights, and critical race theory in education. As we converse with our Advocates for Faith and Freedom representative, we uncover an escalating trend of cases since 2020 related to these topics. Remember, whether you're an educator, parent, or patriot, you're not alone. Join us on this journey as we collectively navigate these crucial topics.
