The Tom Woods Show, episode 1477.

Prepare to set fire to the index card of allowable opinion.

Your daily dose of liberty education starts here, the Tom Woods Show.

Folks, I don't know about you, but I am running into a lot of progressive saying, look, police, fire, schools, these are all great examples of socialism.

Well, let's focus on that school example. I've got a free e-book called Education Without the

state that makes a pretty darn good case for a stateless approach to education. Pick it up at

no-state education.com.. Hey everybody, Tom Woods here.

I'm joined today by Larry Ludlow.

Larry, is it okay if I mention, and if it's not, I'll go back and re-record this whole

thing that you're a member of my supporting listeners group.

Is that okay?

Is that something you want the public to know?

That's fine.

I'm a proud member.

All right, that's fine. I'm a proud member. All right. That's good. Because some people may want to stay anonymous when it goes to that. But anyway, Larry's a member of the group and the other day posted an article in there that he had published. Was it over at American Thinker? Yes. Okay. About his experiences as a public school teacher, and particularly his recent return to that

line of work temporarily, and what his observations tell us, because I feel certain that we can

extrapolate from those observations and to what's going on all over the place.

But I'd like to start off, Larry, with a bit of your background about you were apparently

in education, you did a bunch of other things, then for some reason you got back into it.

Can you just fill in those blanks for us?

Yeah.

I had taught in the Detroit public schools for a couple of years back in the early 1980s.
