Listen to an old-school Republican telling it like it is on school choice, flat tax, entitlement reform, elminating bureaucrats, and why a stable currency is vital. He's got some very interesting ideas on education: Why not focus on 1 subject at a time in order to let it set in? Don't take off the summer so that you can finish college in 3 years?
Lies

Jeanne Allen has a very loose association with the truth. She lies when the truth would serve her better. Not surprised.
This post may be the only Black History you will find in ‘Reality Check’

Big Reality Check for Jeanne Allen. February is Black History month. When did American education not include Blacks or African Americans? How do you propose to reform education when you are not even saying anything in your descriptions about the black population and its role in the education of America? Try searching for Black History Month material on the Reality Check with Jeanne Allen website on ApplePodcasts- you will find nothing, as well as no 'African American’ mentioned. Neither will you find Hispanic or immigrant. In the January 26th episode, she says “all sorts of ideologies and beliefs” in the same conversation as “the stuff that happened over the summer.” Your guest speaks about ‘weaponizing race’ and then goes on to say that there is no single black community but both those concepts apply both ways to more than just the Black or African American race. Some people will be for a cause, and others will not care at all. Candor and honesty matters most when paying attention to all sides. Having a black principal or black teachers does not mean that the school district is run by blacks. How can you even start accusing them of not doing their best within the confines of their school district’s limitations? Throughout the episode, so many ideas were discussed with only one side being addressed. Entertain a larger and more diverse set of guest speakers. One black guest speaker does not represent the whole black community, as he said himself.
One sided

I went into the podcast hoping to hear about a variety of solution to help fix public education but all this podcast seems to be is propaganda for school vouchers and charter schools. There really hasn’t been any talk about actually fixing public schools it’s been more about how we should pull away from them, not a fan.
