This is an I-Heart podcast.

Hey, everyone, you are listening to the Tudor Dixon podcast, and I have one of my favorite

people here with me today, Nikki Neely.

She is the president and founder of parents defending education.

It's a group that is out there to empower parents, but also to weed out some of the bad things

that are happening in our schools.

And I think there's so many more bad things happening in our schools than you even know about.

So that's why we wanted Nikki to come on today because she's going to break it all down,

the good, bad, and the ugly.

Nikki, thank you for being on

here today. Thank you so much for having me. Absolutely. So you have been a champion for parents

for years. We were just talking about we've known each other for a very long time. I've always

appreciated your work. I love what you're doing now. You had all of these parents sign on to this

letter. Tell us a little bit about this because I as a as a parent who is in a state that

continues to defy the federal government with DEI, I think multiple states are doing this and you

you are fighting back. Yes. So this actually was kicked off because of what had

happened in Iowa a few weeks ago where the Des Moines Superintendent was arrested. He was an illegal

immigrant. He had weapons. There was like a variety of things. But as it turns out, he was just, I mean,

essentially a DEI hire of the school district.

How do they not know?

I mean, did they know he was not a legal citizen?

I mean, is there background on that?
