Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 329 ｜ Exposing the Mafia-Like Tactics of Teachers Unions ｜ Guest： Rebecca Friedrichs

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Friday. I am so excited to talk to Rebecca Friedrichs

00:00:15.940 today. We are going to be talking about the public education system in the United States,

00:00:20.980 how it has been burdened by the corrupt teachers unions. And we're going to talk about some

00:00:27.500 of the issues and the causes that they are championing in opposition to the well-being

00:00:33.840 of your child and of teachers in the public school system. And she's also going to give us

00:00:38.960 some action steps for how we can fight against this corruption that is unfortunately

00:00:44.080 working against disproportionately and negatively underprivileged children who are being served

00:00:54.900 and underserved by the public school system. Before we get into that conversation, I want to

00:01:00.060 take a quick ad break. Rebecca, thank you so much for joining me. Thanks for having me. Okay, I think

00:01:14.600 a lot of people who listen to Relatable are familiar with you, maybe have read your book. But just in

00:01:20.320 case, can you tell everyone who you are, what you do, a little bit about your story?

00:01:26.640 Sure. Well, I'm Rebecca Friedrichs. I was an elementary school teacher for 28 years. I would

00:01:32.560 still be there with my adorable students if it wasn't for the nasty teachers unions who have been damaging 1.00

00:01:38.400 the teaching profession and our educational system and our republic for decades. So I stand as the voice

00:01:47.220 of good and loving teachers who want to do a great job. And I expose the damage that unions are doing

00:01:56.200 in our schools. And to do that, I started a nonprofit called For Kids and Country. You can find us at

00:02:02.320 forkidsandcountry.org. And I wrote a book called Standing Up to Goliath, which is full of testimonies

00:02:10.000 of brave teachers and parents. And we expose what's really going on. And I just travel the country

00:02:16.320 speaking to groups and speaking to people like you to help get the message out.

00:02:21.180 And I want to talk a little bit more about your book and the case that you are involved in that

00:02:25.660 made its way to the Supreme Court. But I want to back up and kind of talk about your story. I talk

00:02:32.120 a lot about teachers unions and really the unethical nature of public unions in general. And I've got a

00:02:39.080 lot of public school teachers and public school parents who listen to my podcast and say,

00:02:43.160 you know, you're blowing it out of out of proportion. These teachers unions aren't that

00:02:47.320 bad. Or I'll get public teachers, public school teachers who say, well, if it weren't for the

00:02:52.380 union, I wouldn't have any defense or I wouldn't have any help. Can you talk about how you discovered

00:02:59.640 the true nature of teachers unions, their corruption and how they're actually working against

00:03:05.960 the well-being of teachers and students?

00:03:09.880 Yeah, I am so glad you asked me this series of questions. And this is going to be a somewhat

00:03:14.020 long answer. Go for it.

00:03:15.460 Because thank you, because it is true. So many teachers have no idea what these unions are actually

00:03:21.820 doing with the tens of billions that they collect from teachers annually. So I want to say to those

00:03:29.040 teachers out there, I actually served as a union leader for three years. And I was an executive

00:03:36.320 member of the board of my local association. And what I discovered, teachers, is your local union is

00:03:44.860 usually wonderful. It's your teacher friends. They stand up for you. I stood up for my friends. I'd go in

00:03:51.220 when someone was being mistreated by a bad administrator. I would stand for them. So I understand why you

00:03:57.220 think there's nothing wrong with the union. But the truth is, the state and national unions are run by

00:04:04.680 Marxists. They are the ones that are behind all of the unrest in our country. They are behind

00:04:12.660 organizations like Black Lives Matter, the Women's March. They are 100% pro-abortion, abortion up to

00:04:22.660 delivery, and after. They are so radical that I had to write a whole book about it. I was going to write

00:04:32.420 a long pamphlet because I know most teachers don't have time to sit down with a whole book with all the

00:04:38.480 crazy things going on in our schools. But it's so unbelievable, I had to write a whole book. And teachers,

00:04:46.780 everything that you complain about in the teacher's lounge, your teacher's union is behind

00:04:51.560 it. They are behind the radical sex education. If that has hit your school district, your local

00:04:57.540 might be going, oh my gosh, this is terrible. But your state and national are pushing it, lobbying for

00:05:03.000 it, funding it. They wrote the law in California and in multiple states. The teacher's unions are behind

00:05:10.040 the anti-American agenda. Read some of my editorials. If you go to forkidsandcountry.org and go under our

00:05:17.720 Rebecca's editorials, I wrote one about the 1619 project. And you can see how it's the teacher's

00:05:24.840 unions who are behind bringing that into our schools and worked with the New York Times and those who wrote

00:05:33.440 that nonsense, that very troubling, hurtful nonsense that's harming our country. Your teacher's union is behind

00:05:42.300 organizing and supporting and starting Black Lives Matter. I could go on and on and on. But teachers,

00:05:51.460 everything you complain about, everything that's making your job hard, those anti-discipline policies where

00:05:57.900 you can no longer discipline children or suspend them for a willful authority or, excuse me, willful

00:06:05.700 defiance of an authority figure. We can't do that anymore in the state of California because of

00:06:12.000 teachers' unions. The teachers' unions also put into office every far-left radical Democrat like AOC,

00:06:21.260 like Elhan Omar, like Biden and Harris, Kamala Harris, who intervened against myself and my fellow

00:06:31.040 teachers when we took our case to the Supreme Court. Kamala Harris intervened the entire state

00:06:36.240 of California against us. All we wanted was freedom so we could stand up for our students. So teachers,

00:06:43.520 your union is not what it claims to be. And I would ask you from a loving teacher heart to please

00:06:51.060 read my book so you can see the truth. Just read it and then make your decision after that. And then

00:06:57.000 parents, the teachers' union actually bullied the PTA to such a degree in the 1960s and the 1970s

00:07:04.800 that the PTA has no voice for parents or kids. They had to take a stance of neutrality. So they only

00:07:12.140 support whatever teachers' unions support. It's completely corrupt. And Allie Beth mentioned that it's the

00:07:19.000 other government unions as well. She's 100 percent correct. All of this fraud we see in this election

00:07:26.420 cycle, the government unions are behind it. And if you think about how they run the DMV, which has the

00:07:32.880 voter rolls, how they run the USPS, the Postal Service, and how they have infiltrated every one of

00:07:40.620 our government institutions and agencies, and they are out to destroy our constitutional republic,

00:07:48.100 that is not an understatement. And we would just ask you to look at the evidence before you make a

00:07:54.220 decision on that. Yes. And in case some people don't know, we also have a good portion of our audience

00:07:59.980 who is younger. They might not realize even what a public union is. But teachers' unions, police unions,

00:08:05.200 firefighters' unions, those are public unions that we are supporting with our tax dollars,

00:08:09.860 that very often, especially teachers' unions, like you said, they are then using the funds that they

00:08:15.300 get from our tax dollars to support these far-left Democratic politicians that then pass policies and

00:08:21.640 push policies that not only do we disagree with, but also work against the well-being and the liberty

00:08:29.020 and security of our families, which is why public unions, many people would argue in general,

00:08:34.780 are just unethical to use our tax dollars in that way. Can you talk a little bit, I know you write

00:08:41.080 about this in your book, but can you summarize for us how you began to discover and uncover as a teacher

00:08:49.360 what teachers' unions, the state and national teachers' unions, really stand for?

00:08:54.640 Well, that was because I stepped up and got involved and sought for myself. So from the first

00:09:02.140 day in the classroom, I was actually a student teacher, and I was learning from this incredible

00:09:07.960 master teacher. And I saw a teacher next door to us abusing children. She would grab them and yank 1.00

00:09:16.100 them and scream in their little faces. They were first graders. They were six years old. They came up to

00:09:20.480 her waist. And I was so mortified. And so I went to my master teacher and I said, hey, I'm learning

00:09:25.980 about how to report child abuse. And I don't know what to do because it's the teacher. And that's the

00:09:31.060 day she sat me down and said, Rebecca, today's the day you learn about teachers' unions. And she

00:09:35.660 explained to me that the teachers' union was defending this woman and that the district could do almost

00:09:43.560 nothing about it. And I witnessed that over and over. You teachers out there and parents know

00:09:48.740 there are bad teachers in a lot of our public schools. And you're thinking, why don't we fire

00:09:53.520 that person? We don't fire them because the teachers' unions won't let us. They make the situation

00:09:59.820 almost impossible or very expensive for the school districts to rid themselves of these very abusive

00:10:07.440 people and often bad teachers who aren't teaching the children much. The other thing, I stepped up

00:10:15.080 as a union leader after I noticed that throughout my career, I was about 14, 15 years into my career,

00:10:22.560 and I noticed that I was for school choice. But every time I'd go to one of my mandatory staff

00:10:29.560 meetings, the union would come in and tell us how evil, evil, school choice is evil. You have to

00:10:34.580 fight this. Oh, the children are being abused in the charter schools. They're not getting a good

00:10:39.520 education. Oh, they're stealing money from the public schools. Well, then I went and I did my own

00:10:44.420 research and I listened to debates from both sides. And I discovered the school choice was outstanding

00:10:49.840 and I wanted it for my future children. I didn't have children at the time. And so I discovered that it

00:10:56.680 was the teachers' unions destroying school choice, trapping poor, innocent children,

00:11:03.940 in dangerous, underperforming public schools. That's evil. That's wrong. And they even have a

00:11:09.880 moratoria against wonderful charter schools. And I support charter schools. My husband's the president

00:11:15.120 of a charter school. And so when I served as a union member, I went to annual leadership, state-level

00:11:23.500 leadership meetings, and I was actually abused there. My book opens with a scene of 300 teachers

00:11:29.940 being abused in a breakfast at a California Teachers Association conference. And we were abused by Lily

00:11:37.820 Eskelson-Garcia, who was the most recent NEA president, and other union leaders. Do you know

00:11:44.340 why they abused us? Because one teacher during Q&A stood up and asked, you know, I'm here standing for

00:11:51.940 my colleagues and we're concerned that our dues are being spent on politics. We don't like that.

00:11:58.360 We want to know how we can gain a voice so that our dues won't be spent on politics,

00:12:03.400 particularly far-left politics. Do you know those union members ganged up on us? They stood on the

00:12:09.000 stage really angry, and they, you know, stood around the room with their arms crossed, very mafia-like.

00:12:15.240 And they told us that if we didn't agree with their politics, then we were basically bigots.

00:12:21.360 And they told us that we didn't know what was right and that their way was right. And then they told

00:12:26.880 us the right way to think their way. It was very like communism, being inside. And so that's just

00:12:34.820 a few highlights of what I experienced and what helped me to see the truth about the unions.

00:12:40.400 And for anyone who is listening to this, and maybe you're thinking, okay, well, this is her experience,

00:12:45.700 but this isn't true in general. We've talked about on this podcast that some of the stories that you

00:12:50.560 just told, for example, of a bad, abusive teacher not being able to be fired. Well,

00:12:56.100 this is happening throughout the country. I'm sure that you talk about this as well,

00:13:00.420 but the idea of rubber rooms, that even teachers who are caught, for example, in a sexual harassment

00:13:07.760 or sexual assault situation, that sometimes those teachers are not only not fully fired, but they are

00:13:14.660 also, they're not turned over to civil authorities and they're placed in these so-called rubber rooms

00:13:19.800 where they're doing administrative things and are still getting paid a full teacher's salary.

00:13:25.660 There was a story out of New York, a teacher from Long Island who had been in this rubber room for 20

00:13:31.220 years and over that time had made over a million taxpayer dollars after he had been accused of sexual

00:13:38.540 harassment from a couple of his high school female students. And so how did this happen? Have

00:13:47.280 teachers unions always been like this? How did this grow into this massive corrupt scheme to work

00:13:54.500 against parents and good teachers and kids? Yeah, well, it's really on purpose. So a few things to

00:14:04.580 address that. Number one, when our founders set up our constitutional republic, they knew the only way

00:14:13.260 to keep a free republic is with a well-educated and moral citizenry that could self-govern. That is

00:14:22.300 the reason that our founders used as our first textbook, the Holy Bible. People think, oh, separation of

00:14:28.800 church and state. Look, separation of church and state is not in the constitution. Go read it. It only

00:14:33.560 takes about 30 minutes to read our constitution. Those words are not there. Those words came from

00:14:38.800 a letter written by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptist ministers. He was actually letting them know

00:14:44.720 your religious liberties are protected in this country. The state cannot trample on your religious

00:14:51.440 liberties. But the teachers unions and other leftists have used those words to frighten teachers

00:14:57.340 and parents and to tell us that we can't talk about God in our schools. It's a lie.

00:15:01.140 It's a complete lie. So our founders actually started our schools with something called a classic

00:15:07.280 liberal arts education, true liberal arts, where our students were learning. They were reading the

00:15:13.840 classics. They were learning Greek and Latin. They were studying from the scriptures. The reason they

00:15:18.880 studied from scriptures was so that they could learn things like the golden rule, treat others the way you

00:15:23.940 want to be treated. Don't murder. Things like that. Things that all of us know are good, strong

00:15:29.920 values. So what happened was the teachers unions infiltrated our, well, pardon me, they call themselves

00:15:37.980 teachers unions. So these Marxists who really wanted to undermine our republic knew they had to get into

00:15:45.520 our schools, destroy our educational system, and destroy our morality. They have done this,

00:15:51.220 if you look into history, they've done this over and over. Almost every communist country, this is how

00:15:56.700 it started, an infiltration. They call it the Long March of the Left. So they marched into our

00:16:02.640 institutions by starting, by taking over our teacher associations. So the National Education

00:16:09.180 Association was started in the 1800s, actually by some pretty kind teachers who wanted to do good

00:16:15.060 things, who had made little pamphlets that were full of scripture and prayers and patriotism,

00:16:20.020 and they were infiltrated. And they were infiltrated by these Marxists who had this goal of getting into

00:16:27.220 our schools and undermining our educational system and our morality. And they did it slowly because they

00:16:34.240 knew teachers wouldn't accept them right away if they, you know, said what they were. So if you think

00:16:40.860 about it, if you were evil and you wanted to take over something, you would get behind the sweetest faces

00:16:45.800 you could find, the most trusted voices you could find. That's teachers. Teachers were highly admired

00:16:53.260 in those days. And wouldn't it be nice if we could get back to that, teachers? And we would if we would

00:16:58.920 reject unions. They are the ones making people not like us anymore. So they infiltrated, brought new ideas

00:17:07.940 into our schools. They removed the classical liberal arts education. And they brought in humanism. And

00:17:14.900 they brought in real socialist tendencies. And they brought in all kinds of a new math. Now we have

00:17:22.580 common core. Now we have removed the classics from our schools and replaced it with teachers can bring in

00:17:28.980 stuff from a website that's never even been checked over now. We brought in all kinds of things to on purpose

00:17:36.900 damage our educational system and our morality. If you don't believe it, just look at the numbers.

00:17:44.500 Teachers, you know, I taught kindergarten through fourth grade. It is not rocket science to teach a

00:17:50.040 child how to read. All these excuses that we need more money, that's a lie. All these excuses that,

00:17:56.360 oh, this and that, the parents aren't helping. Look, I had no problem teaching children from all kinds

00:18:05.340 of backgrounds, even with their parents in jail. As long as I was in a supportive school system

00:18:11.900 with a principal that would support discipline, with supplies that I needed. It wasn't rocket science.

00:18:19.060 Those kids could learn. But in the old days of our country, over 90% of Americans could read.

00:18:27.360 Even those that were out in, you know, farmland somewhere, they could all read. They could run a

00:18:32.120 business. Now look at our numbers. They're, yeah, they're a disaster.

00:18:38.020 Right. And we saw a lot of things start going downhill in different sectors of society started

00:18:42.900 in the 1960s. And you write about in your book how a lot of people viewed the teachers unions just

00:18:49.280 kind of neutrally. Like they didn't have a whole lot of opinion about them because they existed for

00:18:53.540 their purpose for the most part. But then they started to become more political. They started to

00:18:59.080 fight for, quote, LGBTQ rights and, you know, left wing health care policy and different things like

00:19:07.800 that. And we have seen them become more and more political, more and more powerful, and really have

00:19:14.200 the Democratic Party by the throat so that those two groups are really in cahoots. And that's why you

00:19:19.640 have people like Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, because they're so supported by these teachers unions

00:19:25.320 actively working against teachers and parents and students. Why that administration says that they

00:19:31.040 are going to fight against the expansion of charter schools, that they are going to fight against the

00:19:35.860 expansion of school choice for the very mythical reasons that you said that teachers unions were

00:19:42.260 telling you guys that school choice actually steals money. Charter schools steal money from private

00:19:48.020 school. And it's a privilege. What I've gotten so interesting, and this is more Marxist critical race

00:19:54.780 theory language, is that school choice is a white privileged argument, that you're actually

00:19:59.380 undermining the education of black and brown students and students in immigrant communities

00:20:04.300 and students in poor communities, when really the opposite is true. So how is it, is it, well, I guess

00:20:12.340 maybe I know the answer, but how is it that the Democratic Party and the teachers unions and the media

00:20:17.960 and all of this left-wing Marxist propaganda have all joined together and become so powerful and yet

00:20:25.900 so many people don't know it exists. Sorry, I have to rant one more second because I have something

00:20:34.160 that I'm thinking. Now, they don't know it exists, but it's so pervasive, it's so powerful, it's so

00:20:39.860 ubiquitous. And we just hear people repeating their talking points that, oh, we're not funding public

00:20:46.040 schools. Like you said, that's a lie. The reason that teachers aren't getting paid enough is because,

00:20:51.160 you know, we're giving tax breaks to the rich and big corporations, but we're funding the police,

00:20:57.880 but we're not funding schools. That's a lie, that we're not prioritizing our children. It's not us.

00:21:04.160 It's the teachers unions that are not spending that money wisely. So I want to hear more from you.

00:21:10.800 How did that all happen with all of these segments of societies coming together with this

00:21:15.380 terrible alliance without people realizing? Exactly. And I'm so glad you're awake to it. And

00:21:22.260 I know Glenn Beck's awake to it. So often I'm listening to regular media and Fox News, for

00:21:29.920 example, and they'll go on and on and on about all these problems and they never mention the teachers

00:21:34.520 unions. And I'm sitting in my house going, it's the teachers unions. They're behind it. They're

00:21:39.500 funding it. How did this happen? Money and power. So we know about unchecked power, right? If you have

00:21:47.420 unchecked power, you get away with all kinds of stuff. So the government unions, let's just consider

00:21:53.040 all of them. You know, every government employee, pretty much everyone is unionized. We're talking the

00:22:01.440 Department of Education. We're talking the FBI. We're talking the CIA. Like you mentioned, the police

00:22:07.080 and fire teachers, the DMV, the post office, go on and on and on to all of our institutions. They're

00:22:13.620 unionized. Think about how much power that is. If you just Google the AFL-CIO, how many different

00:22:21.540 people are unionized under them, you'll get this long list. Nurses. I mean, it just goes on and on.

00:22:27.220 Now, they're collecting hundreds of billions with a B annually, tax free. And then they are spending

00:22:35.300 that money on politics, all far left politics. Why? Well, if you want to undermine a free republic

00:22:43.900 and you're a bunch of Marxists and you want socialism to rule, which always leads to communism,

00:22:50.540 then you stand together sort of as an oligarchy, right? You're the big leaders and everybody else has

00:22:56.340 to be the peons. When the unions changed our school system and removed that outstanding classical

00:23:02.640 education, they brought in a different system that actually allows about 10% to be well-educated and to

00:23:10.780 be rulers and the rest of us to be dumbed down. That's a recipe for disaster. So what I witnessed

00:23:18.700 with my own eyes being a teacher union leader and what many of my other friends who are in my book

00:23:24.100 who actually stepped up at the national level in the unions, they were bullied, they were spit upon,

00:23:30.700 they were booed off the platform when they dared to speak up in defense of teachers, in defense of

00:23:35.980 protecting children from radical sex ed, telling kids to, literally telling us to teach children

00:23:43.640 about oral on anal sex. Yes, teachers, if you don't believe me, this is true. Read my book,

00:23:50.060 three chapters on this. It's unbelievable what's going on. And so these teachers spoke against it

00:23:55.420 and they got booed off the platform. They were barred from committees. They were completely silenced.

00:24:01.420 Just like our college students are being silenced on college campuses, teachers have been silenced for

00:24:06.680 decades, like you said, about since the 60s. So how did this happen? How did they get this power?

00:24:13.560 It's mafia type control. Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. That's what it sounds like.

00:24:18.040 Exactly. There's a story in my book about this sweet lady, Ruth Finnegan. She's in her 90s now.

00:24:23.600 She's so brave. Well, in the 60s, she was a teacher in Hershey, Pennsylvania. And the unions came in and

00:24:29.140 they said, we're going to unionize you all. You need us. Here's what they tell teachers. Teachers

00:24:33.340 will recognize this. You need us for liability insurance because you're going to get sued.

00:24:38.260 And she goes, I'm not here to harm the children. Why would I get sued? What do you do for me?

00:24:42.820 Well, they couldn't convince her that she needed to join. And so she said, no.

00:24:46.120 Every other teacher in her school joined, as did the principals at that time. She spoke to them one

00:24:53.900 on one or in little groups. And they would say, oh, no, I don't want to join the union. But if you

00:24:57.600 don't, oh, they make your life miserable. They'll fire you. They'll ruin your job. So they all joined.

00:25:02.440 And so when she wouldn't join these unions, literally, she was after school. She was grading

00:25:08.200 papers. This was a sweet young teacher. They came into her classroom, five men in black suits.

00:25:14.800 And harassed her. Literal mafia tactics. They did it to her twice. She finally caved and joined. She

00:25:21.400 feels very guilty about having joined. She felt like we could stop this nightmare if the teachers

00:25:27.040 would have stood together. But they wouldn't. And that's what happened. Teachers are so terrified

00:25:32.660 that they refuse to stand up to these unions. Now, if you're feeling tempted to get mad at teachers,

00:25:38.520 look in the mirror, America. Most people still are politically correct. They'll only say certain

00:25:46.480 things. You're not allowed to question that we have a sex ed agenda in our schools because, oh,

00:25:52.440 then you're saying something against the LGBTQ hogwash. When you're telling children how to go get an 1.00

00:25:58.000 abortion without their parents' knowledge or permission in a public school, when you're teaching

00:26:04.440 a child in a public school to have anal sex in order to avoid pregnancy, that's an attack on

00:26:10.900 religious liberties. That's child abuse. That's all kinds of problems. Don't tell me that I can't 0.89

00:26:16.660 speak against that. Or if I do, I'm harming the LGBTQ. So they use these mafia tactics. And then we 1.00

00:26:22.740 have seen with our own eyes that teachers unions practice talking points on us as teachers. They would use

00:26:30.340 them to bully us if you were at the national level, my girlfriends who actually served at the national

00:26:37.060 level. And do you know, six months, a year later, we'd then hear those talking points coming out in

00:26:43.400 the form of Democrat talking points. And you know what? I don't call them Democratic anymore because

00:26:49.520 they're not. I call them Democrat. It's crazy how defensive people who don't realize that all of this

00:26:59.720 is going on gets. When I talk about the corruption of public schools and the public school system

00:27:07.640 and the teachers unions, most public school teachers that I talk to and who follow me are

00:27:12.860 exactly like you. They're wonderful people who care so much about their students. And they are saying,

00:27:18.860 yes and amen, you're exactly right. I see all of that happening in the public school system. But then

00:27:23.160 you get some public school teachers and some parents and public school kids who are just in flat

00:27:27.500 out denial who accuse people like me or you of exaggerating, of fear mongering, of not really

00:27:32.840 knowing what's going on. And I do have a question for you that I get from a lot of these kind of

00:27:37.660 skeptics is, well, what about in states where there aren't teachers unions? Aren't public schools free

00:27:43.660 from corruption in those cases? And I would love to hear you speak to that because a place like Georgia

00:27:50.100 doesn't have teachers unions. And yet you're still seeing, I saw in DeKalb County, for example,

00:27:55.000 that's a little bit outside Atlanta. They're having a BLM social justice week. And so leftism,

00:28:01.440 Marxism, and that's not just a buzzword, it has a real definition that does define these teachers

00:28:05.760 unions and BLM self-evalidly. How are these things infiltrating some of the public school systems, 0.97

00:28:14.220 even without the presence of state teachers unions in places like Georgia?

00:28:21.320 People think like, oh, I'm in Texas. This is never going to happen to me. Well, the sex set I just

00:28:26.080 told you about, it's in the Texas legislature right now. So what people need to understand is

00:28:32.140 when you collect so many tens of billions of dollars annually tax-free, you have a lot of money

00:28:37.960 to wreak a lot of havoc over everybody. So even though you don't have a total control

00:28:46.480 of all of your school districts by unions, it doesn't matter because they'll collect the money

00:28:53.260 nationally, you know, through their forced, well, it's not a forced dues scheme anymore because we

00:28:59.940 took a case of the Supreme Court, teachers, you're not forced to pay them anymore, but most people don't

00:29:04.100 know that. So about 90% are still paying them. And they take that money and they send it wherever

00:29:09.460 it's needed. So, hey, maybe they raise it in California and they send it to Georgia or Texas.

00:29:15.800 And that's exactly what they're doing. They've had their sights on Texas for a long time,

00:29:19.740 which is why I have friends who escaped California to Texas. And they're like, hey, wait,

00:29:23.880 what's going on here? Why am I suddenly fighting the same thing? Don't believe this lie, people.

00:29:29.120 When they say, oh, don't California my Texas, they think, or don't California my South Carolina or

00:29:35.240 whatever, they think Californians like me are escaping California, coming to red states and

00:29:41.000 then destroying them. That's a lie. Those of us who escape, it's because we have conservative views

00:29:46.740 and we want a conservative place to live. And we want freedoms. We want our constitutional republic.

00:29:51.820 What's going on is the government unions are cheating and they are manipulating and they have

00:29:57.040 so much money. They lobby at every level. And like I said, they've infiltrated the PTA.

00:30:02.120 So when you're a legislator and you have someone from the PTA come, you think, oh,

00:30:06.960 this is what the parents want, right? And so they are so deceptive. They are so manipulative. They're

00:30:14.840 so wealthy and they have legislators by the neck, literally. If you want to get elected and you're

00:30:25.080 a Democrat, oh, you've got to do whatever the teachers unions want, whatever the government unions

00:30:29.940 want. So nobody's safe. And by the way, homeschoolers are not safe either because the goal of a Biden

00:30:37.620 administration, which God forbid, God forbid that happened, their goal would be to stop homeschooling,

00:30:46.180 stop private schooling, stop charter schools, and make every child attend a government-run

00:30:52.440 indoctrination center called a public school.

00:30:55.260 Yep. You're absolutely right. A lot of people have asked me, do you really think that we'll go,

00:31:01.180 for example, France has decided to severely restrict, if not ban homeschool altogether,

00:31:07.060 starting at three years old. Kids have to go to public preschool. And people have asked me,

00:31:12.660 do I think that's the end game here? I do. Do I think it's going to happen in the next year?

00:31:18.860 No. And I don't think it's a necessary, I don't think it's an inevitable outcome because I do think

00:31:26.160 that we can push back and the people still do, hopefully right now, have a voice and have power.

00:31:33.180 But look, this is an international, I know you probably agree with this, this is an international

00:31:38.200 movement. If you look at who is actually behind the sex education, in addition to the teachers'

00:31:44.280 unions, it's in partnership with organizations like Planned Parenthood, with UNICEF, with the WHO,

00:31:51.180 these are left-wing, godless, Marxist, again, organizations who have a vested interest in,

00:31:59.240 like you said, tearing down and disintegrating the hearts and the minds and the morality of kids,

00:32:06.620 pitting them against their parents, severing the parent-child relationship.

00:32:10.480 All of that is necessary to create a dumbed down and immoral proletariat in order to have 1.00

00:32:18.100 the collectivist left-wing future that these big international organizations are looking for.

00:32:24.920 So sexual immorality and perversion, the breakdown of the nuclear family, 0.94

00:32:30.680 the dumbing down of kids to where they cannot critically think and they don't know actual history,

00:32:35.620 all of that is a part of an ideology. It's not a conspiracy theory. We can point to the policies

00:32:41.720 and the organizations that are explicitly doing this, the politicians who are explicitly doing this.

00:32:46.560 It is for a specific purpose. They want more chaos in the streets. They want more division. They want

00:32:53.500 more people, more young people who are willing to raise their fist for communism without even a

00:32:58.820 thought to the world how communism has ended over the past 100 years. That's the goal. And public

00:33:05.240 schools, unfortunately, are being used as a vessel to accomplish that. Do you agree?

00:33:10.860 I agree 100 percent. That was all so well said. People need to realize that the teachers unions in

00:33:17.800 particular, they are the most brutal of all. They are a stronghold of exactly everything you just

00:33:24.680 described of this Marxism. And I can't state it strongly enough. And you brought up these other

00:33:31.880 organizations. It is true. I have friends who are conservative, loving parents who volunteer as

00:33:39.480 lobbyists at the United Nations. They have been lobbying against this sex ed for decades. And here's

00:33:45.860 what happened under the Obama administration. Countries would come in, poor countries from Africa or

00:33:51.860 something would come in seeking clean water and food and education for their children. And they would

00:33:59.080 be told, oh, sure, we'll help you with all that as long as you take this sex ed. The sex ed has been

00:34:06.020 destroying their countries. They're coming back because what it does is it divides families. It creates all 0.99

00:34:13.920 this out of wedlock pregnancy. And it just creates, like you said, more confusion and havoc and anger and

00:34:21.700 everything else. So they come back trying to escape it. And they're bullied at the United Nations. And so

00:34:27.980 then they're trying to stand together. The other thing people need to know, the World Health Organization,

00:34:32.820 yes, they're behind this. And you know what else? The CDC. I'm so glad people finally know about the CDC.

00:34:40.140 Number one, they're unionized. Number two, if you will just go on the CDC website right now,

00:34:45.880 if you're listening, and look up young men having sex with men, they have a whole, I mean, just pages 0.91

00:34:52.220 and pages on how we as teachers and parents, we're supposed to support young men having sex with men.

00:34:59.960 We're supposed to give them a safe place and normalize this. And here in my state, California,

00:35:06.580 they've already, through the governor, they control, Governor Newsom's 100% controlled by

00:35:11.800 the teachers unions. So has Nancy Pelosi and all the leadership in California. They have just signed

00:35:18.780 a law that if there are only 10 years or less between a child and an adult, so the child's 14,

00:35:28.060 the adult's 24. You cannot prosecute that person, that adult, as a child predator.

00:35:36.480 Yeah.

00:35:36.880 This is, this, so in other words, we are legalizing pedophilia. And this has been their goal from day

00:35:43.600 one. The CDC is behind it. And you can also go on to something called the Healthy Teen Network.

00:35:49.540 Just check out some of the lessons. They're teaching your children via virtual learning.

00:35:54.440 If your child has an activist teacher, teacher in quotes, because they're activists that the unions

00:36:00.780 have plopped into our schools, good teachers would never teach this stuff. They're actually

00:36:05.040 teaching your children that healthy sex during COVID is to do sexting and to look at pornography.

00:36:12.100 And they're leading them to pornography experts online. It's unreal. These people belong in jail.

00:36:19.080 And you're 100% right that it's all part of, all you have to do is study communism,

00:36:24.840 study Marx, read the book, The Naked Communist. All you have to do is a little bit of research and

00:36:31.140 you will discover that everything we are witnessing right now is 100% Marxism to lead to socialism and

00:36:38.000 communism. It is a disaster and we must save our country from this. And the way we save our country

00:36:43.720 is getting public sector unions out of our schools, out of our institutions, out of our agencies.

00:36:51.720 That's where we start because they are the stronghold. They are, I call them the root of the

00:36:56.300 problem. They're creating all these poisonous branches from their poisonous root. So we have

00:37:03.200 to get them out.

00:37:04.360 So what does the average parent do who feels overwhelmed right now? They're realizing, wow,

00:37:09.580 this is a problem. I've got my kid in public school, but I want to fight. I want to fight

00:37:14.700 against this, but I don't know where to start. What would you recommend for them? Or even the

00:37:18.240 public school teacher who feels the same way?

00:37:20.640 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Bless them all. And first of all, I want to say to these parents,

00:37:24.020 I was a single parent for seven years with a little boy that they kept labeling ADHD and,

00:37:31.180 you know, just super active. He's not, I don't believe in that stuff. He's just brilliant. And,

00:37:36.140 you know, the schools weren't serving his needs properly. They're making him fill in bubbles

00:37:40.960 instead of letting him use his mind and his hands. And anyway, that's a different argument. But if

00:37:46.220 you're a parent and your children are in public schools, I cannot urge you strongly enough to pull

00:37:53.440 them out of those public schools. Now, if you're, let's say you're in a state where your public schools

00:37:59.680 haven't been totally infiltrated yet, do not fall asleep. It is coming.

00:38:04.400 Yeah.

00:38:05.020 You know, get on your school board. You'll discover if you run for school board,

00:38:08.720 you will believe me about the unions because they will attack you with everything they've got.

00:38:12.560 They will call, they call me the spawn of Satan. They'll do the same to you. They'll call you all

00:38:16.680 kinds of evil and do evil things to you. You can read stories about that in my book, but stand up,

00:38:22.500 go to every school board meeting, make your voice heard, step up on the, you know, committees in your

00:38:28.520 district. And if there is a union help to remove it. But get your kids out of those public schools. 0.99

00:38:35.480 They're not safe places anymore. If they're doing virtual learning, sit down and watch what they're

00:38:39.280 learning. Now, what you have to realize is a lot of teachers are still amazing. We have great teachers

00:38:44.960 in this country, but they are trapped in a corrupt system. So there's a lot of good teachers who aren't

00:38:50.780 going to do these bad things, but it's going to come down. For example, we're no longer in

00:38:56.800 California. We're no longer allowed to call the children boys and girls because we can't assume

00:39:01.520 anyone's gender. You mentioned earlier, they want to have them in preschool starting at age three. 0.98

00:39:07.680 Please don't put your children in a government run preschool. Here's what they're being taught.

00:39:11.680 If the unions have totally infiltrated and the sex ed is in, your children are told that

00:39:18.140 your parents, when you were born, your parents didn't know your gender.

00:39:22.720 So they assigned you a gender and someday you'll figure out your gender from a whole spectrum of

00:39:28.320 an unending number of genders. And then you'll choose your gender. Did you know that in a lot 0.56

00:39:33.680 of places, the school can give your child puberty blockers without your permission or your knowledge

00:39:38.800 because your child says, Oh, I really think I'm not a girl. I'm really a boy. Um, you know,

00:39:44.780 they were behind the teachers unions were behind, uh, allowing biological boys to compete against 0.79

00:39:50.640 girls in sports. That's evil as a, as an athlete. And my dad and I fought so hard for my rights as a 0.99

00:39:56.860 female athlete. And now females can't, uh, don't have a fair shot. This is all the unions. This is 1.00

00:40:02.620 all coming out of the public schools with the, with the public sector unions that call themselves

00:40:08.180 teachers, call themselves unions too. They're not, they're Marxists. So I can't state it strongly

00:40:13.160 enough teachers. I know it's, it's, it's even tougher for you because here's what Marxists do.

00:40:20.060 And you have to understand that they've put you in a system and they've tried to convince you

00:40:26.740 that you have to have, you need them. So what did they do? They've given you good salaries. They've

00:40:32.980 given you, um, a Cadillac medical insurance. You have better than most Americans. The teachers

00:40:38.080 unions fought for Obamacare and then they opted out of it. So you're not stuck with it.

00:40:43.160 But your money passed it. Uh, that's hypocritical. Um, you have pensions teachers, as you know,

00:40:51.120 uh, lifetime pensions. Most Americans don't have that. And, um, I know that you don't want to give

00:40:57.640 all that up, but the problem is if you're, um, I think it was Benjamin Franklin who had a statement,

00:41:03.300 something like those who give up liberty for security will have, will soon they'll have neither

00:41:09.820 one. They'll have neither liberty nor security. So what's happened teachers, because you've said,

00:41:14.600 Oh, I got to protect my, my pension. Oh, I need to protect my paycheck. Oh, I need to protect my

00:41:18.780 medical insurance. Oh, I need the whole country's going down. And this is other public sector

00:41:25.200 employees too. We're losing our Republic. We're losing our liberties. We teachers have to step up

00:41:34.460 teachers. You are people who love, you love to step up and help save people. You love that. That's

00:41:41.060 our hearts as teachers. We want to give our hearts to families and children. We do everything. I mean,

00:41:46.240 I know teachers who have adopted children when their parents died. Okay. This is what the heart,

00:41:51.440 this is the heart of a teacher. If God called you to be a teacher, you have got to stand up to this evil.

00:41:56.660 You know, I couldn't afford to leave the classroom, but when God asked me to do it, I did it. And I

00:42:03.040 didn't have a paycheck for a couple of years, nothing. And I was still working really hard

00:42:07.500 building our nonprofit. And you know what? God's blessed it. And I never went hungry and I didn't

00:42:12.440 lose my home. And I have to tell you teachers, the teachers unions tell you that they defend you.

00:42:17.920 They tell you that they give you that liability insurance. I have a good friend, best teacher I worked

00:42:23.380 with during my 28 years in the classroom. She lost her job in three days and she was guilty of

00:42:29.460 nothing. She was falsely accused. They basically wanted to get rid of her because she was about to

00:42:33.660 be completely ready to get her good pension. You know, she was a couple months shy of being invested

00:42:39.780 or whatever they call it, fully vested. She was chased out and harassed. She lost her home. She lost

00:42:45.620 everything. She's renting a little apartment now from her parents. And then they blackball her and, 0.99

00:42:50.460 you know, didn't want her to get a job anywhere else. It's evil what's going on out there. The

00:42:54.460 unions are not going to defend you unless you speak their language, unless you do their bidding, 0.97

00:42:59.820 unless you push their agenda. There are organizations out there. One's called Christian

00:43:04.640 Educators. One's called Association of American Educators. They're all on our website. If you go to

00:43:09.680 forkidsandcountry.org and click on teacher freedoms and protections, the menu item, you can discover how to

00:43:16.640 stop paying unions, how to opt out. And we have these organizations that where you can get liability

00:43:22.540 insurance that is a fraction of the price of what you're paying the unions. And it's double the

00:43:28.480 coverage, $2 million per incident. The unions give you $1 million. And the unions, teachers, I know

00:43:34.540 they've told you that if your principal harasses you or whatever, they'll defend you. That's a lie.

00:43:38.520 They only defend you if you get sued or if you're doing their bidding. But these organizations,

00:43:46.660 CEAI and AAE that are under our menu item under liability insurance, they will defend you even if

00:43:52.520 you are harassed by your administrator or, you know, if you're told you have to be silenced about

00:43:58.360 something, that you have lawyers available to you at all times. So you can get better coverage.

00:44:03.320 You can sleep well at night knowing that you're not giving to this evil system that is damaging

00:44:09.020 our children. We have to step up as teachers. And I will keep fighting. I will fight till the day I die

00:44:14.660 to try to get unions out of our schools and our institutions. 0.95

00:44:18.200 Yes. Thank you so much. And just a quick note for teachers that are in places like Georgia where

00:44:22.820 you're thinking, OK, there's not a teacher's union. There's still administrative corruption.

00:44:27.640 There is still bureaucracy within the public school system. You can bet your bottom dollar that

00:44:32.680 teachers' unions and the corrupt portions of the public school system in places like Georgia

00:44:37.440 are behind the senatorial candidates like Ossoff and Warnock. Those people, even if there are not

00:44:43.580 state teachers' unions in places like Georgia, the teachers' unions are still going to fund the

00:44:47.760 campaigns of those kind of senators and still are going to have them by the back of the neck if they 1.00

00:44:53.680 get to D.C. And those senators, whether or not they're teachers' unions in Georgia, are going to fight

00:44:59.220 on behalf of these corrupt teachers' unions when they get to D.C., which will disproportionately and

00:45:05.520 negatively affect your children and especially underprivileged children. So it is a lie. This

00:45:10.580 whole thing of voting for Democrats and voting for liberals is actually the more compassionate

00:45:14.580 thing to do for underprivileged kids. It's not true. Example number 1,000, and maybe the most

00:45:20.880 important one, is the teachers' union to the Democratic politicians who support them. So thank you

00:45:26.040 so much, Rebecca, for shining light on this, for your fight. I really encourage everyone to go out

00:45:32.300 and read your book. It is standing up to Goliath. That's correct, right? Standing up to Goliath?

00:45:38.220 That's correct.

00:45:39.040 Goliath being the teachers' unions. I'm really enjoying the book, and it's just so illuminating,

00:45:44.340 troubling, and challenging in the best way. As a mom of soon-to-be little kids,

00:45:54.940 too, I am, you know, thinking a lot about this stuff and a lot about their education and wanting

00:46:00.560 to protect them and to preserve their innocence as much as I can and just make them smart little

00:46:06.620 critical thinkers. And parents just, we can't fall asleep at the wheel. There's too much at stake. And

00:46:11.700 I just appreciate your fight on behalf of these kids. Thank you. And I so appreciate you helping me

00:46:17.880 to get the message out there. Yes. Thank you so much.
