Summary

Pritchett has helped organize the Focus on Students PAC, a group of parents who are working to bring more accountability to their local school board. Pritchett joins the podcast to discuss the PAC’s work to ensure school board members are qualified to hold office, and to push back against the far left policies the school board is promoting.

We also read your letters to the editor and share a good news story about a school curriculum called “Why America is Free,” which promotes American values and historical truth.
