Welcome to the Megan Kelly show, your home for open, honest and provocative conversations.

Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly, welcome to the Megan Kelly show.

Joining us today, Dr. Carol Swain, author, former professor and distinguished senior fellow

for the Constitutional Studies at the Texas Public Policy Foundation.

Her story is absolutely incredible, it's completely inspiring.

From growing up in severe poverty and dropping out of high school, she went on to earn her

GED a bachelor's in criminal justice, a master's in legal studies from Yale Law School, and

a PhD in political science from University of North Carolina.

She spent many years as a very successful and beloved professor before leaving the university

system altogether once the annoying woke students started to turn on her.

Her recent books focus on education and how curriculum like critical race theory is burning

down American ideals and she's got a lot of common sense advice for her fellow Americans

and parents.

Welcome back, Carol, so great to have you.

Thank you so much.

So it's been fun.

I was telling my family last night that I first got introduced to you on Glenn Lowry's

show, you know, his TV blogging heads.

And I listened to the two of you talking about academia and what it's become.

And as I referenced up at the top, the annoying students, the woke students who want everyone

to talk just the way they talk and see the world just the way they see it.

But you earned the right to a different opinion.
