Hey, Clay, if there was a summer camp for critical thinking, we'd be the chief counselors.

Those jellyheads in June would be intellectual warriors by August.

Be a lot of fun, too.

Some Bill and Ted's excellent adventure references thrown in.

This podcast, like a daily dose of that, minus the campfires, archery, and pranking the girls.

The bona fide boot camp for critical thinking you can

get in on it for free at the I-Heart radio app or wherever you get your podcast. Just search our names,

play and balk, listen, and subscribe. Welcome to the Tudor Dixon podcast today. I am excited because

you can explain this better than anybody that this is not something to be afraid of, but there is a lot

of fear-mongering from Democrats. So give us the lowdown on what that means. Well, thanks, Tudor,

for asking.

And it's not an uncommon question. But clearly the president believes, as do I, that the best

education is that that's one closest to the child. And so his reference is, let's give education

back to the states. And what that means is let's get rid of the bureaucracy

that is in Washington. That does not mean get rid of Title I funding that will come to the states.

It does not mean get rid of IDEA funding, which is for our handicapped or special needs children.
