Call it up next. Our final news round up and information overload hour. I do this round up and information overload hour

eight hundred nine four once Sean if you want to join us. Oh forgot to mention psychedelic legalization now approved by California's

assembly and senate great magic mushrooms people whacked out on you know hallucinogens walking around the same street you walk

around. You know where every day talking about CRT and gender identity and all these issues that keep coming up. One California judge

holding a district policy in southern California that required parents to be told if kids change their their pronouns. Now another following a heated hours long

discussion in Orange County by the way the school board there became the sixth California school system that would require

officials to notify parents if their child identifies as transgender. So I mean things are changing people parents or as it's the upper echelon of the FBI recognizes them as you know potential

domestic terrorists. You know speak out they're having a pretty profound impact. You have an Oklahoma of all places a district that hired a drag queen to be an

elementary school principal that's facing a backlash a Miami school board again shutting down the LGBTQ month recognition. Remember most of these schools we pay more as a country per capita per

education with some of the worst results imaginable you can't even you can't even fight to make it that bad it's so awful. Anyway so all of this is what parents all

around the country have been dealing with now for a long time and anyway there is a a new group out there it's a it's called the National Opportunity Project and they are doing an

investigation into schools and have done one on how children and diversity and equity and inclusion or or DEI for short are more important than who's best for the job for kids new

investigation by this group. Now shows that the DEI hiring practices in K through 12 schools require teachers now to show commitment to left wing

ideology. And anyway they just came out with a report some of their conclusions are you know they surveyed 70 public school districts across the US they found

discrimination and hiring guidance and interviewing questions and teacher job postings and evaluation criteria they found left leading political ideology is a much

large of focus than the core curricula the kids need to become successful in in their lives. Their new report validates concerns that many parents have had the most qualified teachers aren't the ones being hired in the schools and specific examples and school

districts across the country you know. Right in this report now Patrick Hughes is the president of this organization and here's what he had to say about this report.

We did a survey of in a research on 74 districts across the country 69 of those 74 responded using FOIA requests and public information and a number of other things that we were at our disposal to

compile this information and what we learned is that in numerous schools across the country they are looking to hire teachers to teach children you know as young as kindergarten age not based on their qualifications

necessarily or on their educational experience as teachers but oftentimes because of where they stand politically.

And the way that this is characterized throughout the process of looking to hire these folks is through diversity equity and inclusion which sound like fair and and things that people can get behind in reality are just a pretext to sort of backdoor in a particular political point of view or a particular social social ideological point of view.

Patrick Hughes president of the National Opportunity Project is here now to give us a little more background and details on this helps more about what you did here.
