Summary
A schoolteacher in a left-liberal state argues that the school walkout movement -- which is obviously spreading through intimidation, and the implied suggestion that no other point of view deserves a hearing -- is in fact illegal, since it amounts to political activity by schoolteachers at taxpayer expense.

| 0:07.8 | Your daily dose of liberty education starts here, the Tom Woods Show. |
| 0:14.3 | Folks, let's face it, the public school is the American church, and if you oppose it, |
| 0:19.3 | you are an incorrigible heretic. Well, I've written a free |
| 0:22.6 | e-book for all you good heretics out there called Education Without the State. Check it out at |
| 0:28.0 | no-stateeducation.com. Hey, everybody, Tom Woods here. I'm recording this particular episode at an |
| 0:34.5 | unusual time of day, and this happens to be a time of day when in the |

| 1:34.5 | And these days, it's like there's one allowable opinion even more than normal. |
| 1:40.3 | So he's talking about this. |
| 1:42.3 | He's convinced that this whole school walkout thing is absolutely |
| 1:45.6 | illegal because it's political action by school teachers who are not supposed to be engaged in that, |
