This is the Unregistered Podcast, and I'm Thaddeus Russell.

This is a show about ideas, people, and behaviors that are considered inappropriate, out of bounds, or beyond the pale.

The things you're not supposed to talk about if you're a schoolteacher, a college professor, a businessman, a politician,

a parent, a neighbor, or even a podcast host. These are the things you're not supposed to say

or even think if you're a good liberal, a good conservative, or a good citizen. Each week,

I'll interview a person who has something bad to say. They might be a journalist or a good citizen. Each week, I'll interview a person who has something bad to say.

They might be a journalist or a professor.

They might be a porn star or a drug dealer.

They might just be an ordinary person with an ordinary job

who doesn't care about the rules of polite society.

I'm not interested in breaking the rules just to be a troublemaker. I'm interested in people who break the rules of polite society. I'm not interested in breaking the rules just to be a troublemaker.

I'm interested in people who break the rules of conventional thought

and to expand the scope of what is possible to say in our society.

I'm interested in people who make me think.

One of the very few unintended benefits of the lockdowns and the school closures and distance learning

is that for the first time American parents got to see inside the schools that their children are forced to attend.

And because of that, many of them are listening to my guest this week.

This is my interview with Corey DeAngelis.

I am joined from Washington, D.C. Apparently that's unfortunate by Corey DeAngelis, whose work I've been following for several years now and who has become fairly famous because education has been in the news over the last year or two. and Corey has risen to the top of the pundit class in addressing this.

So it's great to have you on.

This is, of course, an issue that I not only care about, but I've been kind of committed to for my entire adult life,

and especially now that I'm trying to upend the whole system.
