Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's clear the left wants to take over the education
system to indoctrinate our children, but parents are fighting back.
Today we hear from one such parents, a teacher who's
running for school board in Florida. She's battling critical race
story on the front lines and have some amazing insight
that you really need to hear. This is Luna Talks
with Ana Paulina. Welcome back to today's episode of Luna
(00:29):
Talks with Me, your host on a Paulina Luna big
big things this past week with the scoring win of
Governor Junken out in Virginia, something that I think America
needed as a complete win, you know, when you look
at why he won. Though, one of the biggest things
that we saw at the polls and that we heard
from voters is it was those suburban women, those suburban
(00:52):
parents that said, we typically don't get involved, but there's
no way that we are going to just shut up
in color when it comes to our kids education and
what they are learning in the education system. So you
saw a lot of first time voters, a lot of
parents saying that we're not going to stay off the
sidelines coming to the polls, and that's typically a hard
demographic to reach, right, like most Republican voters depend on
(01:15):
those primary voters, but not for the state of Virginia.
So congratulations to Governor Yncin and also to his lieutenant governor,
an attorney general. If you guys didn't track that, you
had Jason Myras, who was literally one of the first
ever elected Hispanic attorney generals of the state of Virginia,
and Lieutenant Governor wins Some Sears, one of the first
(01:37):
black women elected to office in statewide Virginia. And the
media has said almost nothing about that unless you're following
conservative media and is acting like these people don't exist.
Why because if they were to admit to the American
people that not only did Republicans kick but but also
too that these people are people of color, it really
(02:00):
does shatter their stereotypes and their natives. But win some
Sears is not one to be quiet. She is definitely
a firecracker. You may have seen on the social media
that I posted that she basically trolled not just Kamala
Harris but Joey Read, which we love to see because honestly,
we need some of that. But I want to play
for you something that she had stated it's a small
clip out of her acceptance speech that she gave the
(02:22):
night of the election. And it's important because what we're
seeing is that we're seeing her win some sears. She's
a Marine Corps veteran, she is an immigrant, she literally
has multiple degrees, successful businesswoman, attorney, and listen to what
she says. So I say to you victory indeed, but
(02:45):
I say to you, there are some who want to
divide us, and we must not let that happen. They
would like us to believe we are back in nine
when my father came. We can live where we want,
we can eat where we want, We own the water fountains.
(03:06):
We have had a black president elected not once, but twice.
And here I am living prow In case you haven't noticed,
I am black and I have been black all my life. Now,
(03:32):
why might something like that be important, Well, for exactly
this episode. Today, we have critical race theory that is really, really,
really destroying this nation and it's everywhere, and it's something
that not only Governor yncn was very vocal about, but
every elected official running for office in the state of Virginia.
(03:52):
Parents do not want to one be called terrorists by
the FBI, and two, they want to have a voice
and what their children are learning in the education system,
something very important. Sometimes elected officials think that they get
to stipulate what your kids learn, and that is the
farthest fitting from the truth. Congratulations to all the parents
(04:15):
of Virginia that really showed up to the polls, made
a difference and basically flipped the state of Virginia from
blue to red. Hopefully we'll hold the line not just there,
but in many many other states across the United States
this next election cycle. Again we're projected to win upwards
of fifty five seats, which is a huge, huge win,
(04:35):
not just for conservatives, but I think for the country also.
I want to note something here before we get into
this interview with Stephanie Meyer, who is someone that's really
going to be breaking down critical race theory for you
at the most basic levels that if you do if
you've ever wondered what CRT is, how do you explain
it or how you can get involved by running for
school boards. She's going to give you all that information.
(04:57):
But before we actually go to her in or view,
I do want to mention something. It's been interesting to
me as someone who's gotten involved at the very low
level of being activists and then kind of transitioned into
someone who ran for office, and then someone who still
is running for office. I can tell you that we
are seeing a massive shift with the outreach efforts and
(05:21):
also to with the push of Hispanic voters voting largely
in favor of the Republican Party platform. I say that
because many many people for a long time have forgotten
that the Hispanic demographic is very conservative. And we're conservative
because we are primarily Catholic and or faith based, whether
you're Christian, whatever your denomination might be. But also too
(05:45):
there's a cultural aspect. And I can tell you that
when I looked at the reporting numbers for the people
that came out to the polls for Young Ken, upwards
of fifty of Hispanics in the state of Virginia voted
in favor of Governor Youngcan, which is basically almost ten
percent more than the Democrats got. And this this is
important because the Democrats have historically received large portions of
(06:09):
the Hispanic demographics vote. In fact, that's why if you
listen to previous episodes that I had specified to you, guys,
that the reason why they really shifted by the iman,
the Democrat Party shifted their narrative on immigration and border
security and how they pushed this mass open border agenda
is because they were really trying to, I think, pull
up the heart strings of the largest voting minority in
(06:31):
the country, which is Hispanic Americans that are specifically Mexican.
This is a very, very very important thing that we're
seeing shift here because, as you know, Kamala Harris said
it herself, what happens in Virginia will happen and the
rest of the United States moving forward in and beyond.
So we are seeing not just to shift in people
(06:51):
deciding to vote Republican, but we're seeing the largest voting
minority in the country that's a huge deal, voting in
favor of Republican policies, meaning conservative policies. So this is
really good for all conservative candidates running for office. So
don't forget about the Hispanic demographic when you are campaigning.
It's very important. I want to pause for a quick
(07:13):
commercial break. I got to get to some stuff. When
we get back with Stephanie Meyer, Sit tight, and we'll
be right back. I'm here today with Stephanie Meyer. She
is a teacher but also someone who's running for school
(07:35):
board and an incredible, incredible, I think person in the
area of expertise of critical race theories. Stephanie, thank you
so much for joining Luna Talks. Thank you so much
for having me of course, So just real quick, I
know that you're actually a teacher and that you've basically
decided to run for school board because what you're seeing
is obviously something that a lot of parents especially concerned about.
(07:57):
But how did you get involved with teaching? Just so
the listeners can kind of hear a little bit about
your story, Okay, So, Um, I was in sales and
marketing for a very long time, for about seventeen years.
I loved what I did. But UM, I grew up
in a home where my mom was a teacher or
my sister was a teacher, and I always had a
passion for teaching, but I just never thought it was
for me. Um. But about four or five years ago,
(08:21):
I really felt lad and called to the classroom, and
in particularly in the area of teaching history, because you know, nowadays,
I feel like the narrative and our history classes has
really changed. Um, It's much different than the narrative that
I learned when I was a student here in Penellas
(08:41):
County and our public schools, and I wanted to change that. Okay,
So I think there's a lot of parents that are
across the country very concerned now about critical race theory
and now the new terms that they're kind of using
to sneak in critical race theory into the curriculum. What
have you learned about why critical race theory is detrimental
to children? Well, first of all, it pits students against
(09:04):
each other, number one, UM, and it makes some students
feel it makes all students feel bad. It makes some
students feel like they are UM aggressors or somehow just
based on their their race, that they are UM, they're bad.
And then it makes other students feel like UM, that
they've been oppressed, something's been wronged in their lives based
(09:28):
on the color of their skin. And so either way
you look at it, it's a damaging concept. Yeah. I
think also too, it's interesting because you have students, especially
here in the United States, that are biracial, bicultural, and
so if you know and like the Hispanic community, but
also within the black community, you know, if you are
part white or you're part Hispanic park but whatever it
might be you're gonna be a different shade. And so
(09:49):
it's like, where do those students end up fitting into
this ideology? And the fact is that they don't, and
so they're gonna be required to at one point hate
one part of themselves because of this teaching. UM. So
to break it down in very simple terms, because one
of the biggest criticisms, criticisms I'm hearing from very very
leftist reporters is they'll go up to ask someone what
(10:11):
is critical race theory and they can't really explain it.
So for those that might be embarrassed about asking that
question or might be embarrassed about researching, I know that
you can explain it in very simple terms what is
critical race theory. So critical race theory comes from the
Frankfurt School UM, originally called critical theory and then later
(10:31):
reinvented in the nineteen seventies in our law schools here
prestigious law schools UM in the nineteen seventies to critical
race theory and UM. This was done under the work
of Kimberly cringe Shaw and then later these concepts were
applied into our schools into pedagogy, which basically is the
(10:54):
methodology of teaching students, and this was done in the
nineteen nineties under Gloria Laddston Billings UM, and now it's
been kind of repackaged and repurposed UM once again to
kind of fit this UM divide and conquered narrative in
our schools. So basically, critical race theory is a philosophy.
(11:14):
It's not a class. You're not going to be able
to open up, you know, your your child schedule and say, oh, look,
you know critical race theory one oh one. It's not
like it's a philosophy UM. It's a pedagogy. It's a
method of UM framing things UM from this perspective. And
that's why it's very difficult to UM to to explain
(11:37):
what it is, I think for a lot of people
who haven't studied it and haven't researched it UM. But
it's there, and it's under the guise of a lot
of different terminology. For example, critical race theory as it
was coined in our law schools under Kimberly Crenshaw in
the nineteen seventies under Gloria Ladstone Billings, who is UM
a PhD professor who kind of re package this for
(12:00):
the educational setting. She calls it cultural relevance teaching, and yeah,
so and under that also is is you know, equality
versus equity and things like that. So it's it's easy
to identify once you've kind of done some research on it.
And unfortunately it is all over our schools. And I
know that our governor, our great governor UM has done
(12:23):
his due diligence to try and ban this. But the
problem is that it's being called so many different things.
So it's either they are under so many different names.
So I mean, I look at this, I hear you
talking about it, and just like you mentioned above, it's
a divide and conquered strategy. Clearly, this has been in
the works for at least over thirty years, definitely with
the end all be all goal to get it into
(12:44):
the education system really being funded largely in part by
the Department of Education UM. For those that are considering
running for school board, what is the what is the
biggest thing that they can do if they are elected
to office in order to stop this. First all you
have to meet with parents, and you have to listen
to parents, UM. And I tell the parents that call
(13:05):
me that you know, want to talk about their experiences
and share their experiences with me. Put everything in writing,
Document everything, UM. When you go to a print your
child's principle about these issues, make sure you put it
in writing because they've been able to sweep this under
the rug largely by addressing this, you know, over the
phone and things like that, so not leaving a paper
trail of actually what's happening. So if you're running for
(13:28):
school board, you need to make sure that you are
meeting with parents, that you are helping parents challenge UM
this ideology and our schools by giving them the tools
they need to to combat it. You know, you've got
to go to your school board meetings. You've got to ask,
and we need to ask people who are running, candidates
who are running the tough questions, do you support this
(13:49):
damaging ideology continuing in our schools? Yes or no? UM?
And then you know, then the voters can decide what
what sort of school board members they would like to have.
But this is a big challenge because it's already here.
It's already here, it's it's in UM, it's in the
teacher trainings. UM. Unbelievable. What is being taught to teachers
(14:10):
Actually was just looking at a flyer that a teacher
sent me where they were. The flyer, which was a
school sponsored district sponsored flyer, was asking other teachers to
read um anti racist literature, for example, the book by
Robin D'Angelo, Um, how to be uh Anti Racist I
(14:32):
Believe or something like that. Um. So this is this
is school and district sponsors. So it's in the it's
in the teachings for the students, and it's also in
the trainings for the teachers. That's really really alarming because,
as you know, little kids, they don't go in being
programmed to automatically look at their skin colors. So you
can see little kids playing at a park and they
don't care. They're fighting over toys, they're not fighting over,
(14:53):
you know, the skin color. So you hear that and
then you realize that they really are indoctrinating kids at
an early age to realize those differences, which is scary
because when I hear you talking about this, I really
do kind of flashback to reading a piece of paper
that I had actually received, and it was a Communist
Goals and Objectives that was submitted to Congress in nineteen
(15:14):
sixty three, and it talks about literally hijacking a party
and then infiltrating that party and using it to push
an ideology that would literally open with open are welcome
with open arms, these socialists and communist viewpoints, and really
how a lot of these color revolutions started is that
they would fracture people based on classes, they would fact
fracture people based on races, and then they basically were
(15:35):
able to come in and essentially take over. So this
is very alarming, very concerning for those of you who
have always kind of been wondering on this topic and
wondering what you can do to get involved. I mean,
Stephanie is saying it here. Run for school board. This
is one of these things that I think a lot
of people don't really pay attention to what they should.
Are you finding that the opponents that you're running against
(15:57):
UM are being well funded by primarily liberal donors. Yes,
So in my last election that I unfortunately was not
UM successful in UM, the my opponent was very well
funded by progressive leftist groups, by the Teachers Unions and
(16:17):
Teachers Association. In fact, UM, I believe the National Teachers
Are Education Association was funding her campaign as well. And
so you're seeing a lot of these activist groups, UM,
coming out in support of these candidates that are going
to continue to push this ideology in our schools. So
we need to get behind as a community. We need
(16:38):
to get behind these candidates like myself who are willing
to you know, kind of stand up for for what
is what is right for our children, for the future generations.
As a mother of three, UM, this is just incredibly
alarming and we've got to put it into it. I
want to ask you one more question before we have
to go, Stephanie, So if you'll just sit tight, we'll
(16:59):
be right back after this quick commercial break. So we're
seeing national funding getting involved at the very very local
level because they're basically, in my opinion, trying to take
(17:22):
over the education system of our kids. Yes, and this
has been going on. This has been going on for years.
This is this is not new, UM. And we kind
of were asleep with the wheel focused on our national
races and and of course all of those are important,
but everything begins and ends with education. UM. And I
believe it was an Abraham Lincoln quote, UM that whatever
(17:43):
is being taught, the ideology or you know, the methodology
that's being taught in our schools today is that the
government of the next generation and that's exactly what is
happening right now that is so scary. Well, thank you
for everything that you're doing. I appreciate you really kind
of breaking it down to the basics, because sometimes that's
what we need. But really educating people that want to
(18:03):
make a difference and want to get involved. And then
real quickly before you go, where can people if they
like what they're hearing, go to donate to your campaign
and then also to where can they follow you for
more educational information on this topic. Okay, So I have
a Facebook page that you can follow me on. It's
Vote Stephanie Meyer UM. And then also my website is
vote Stephanie Meyer as well, and you can donate to
(18:25):
my campaign there you can sign up to get involved.
We need all the volunteers that we can get. UM.
This is a big race and we're going to be
up against another tough opponent and UM but it but
it matters and we need to get involved. So I'm
asking everyone who can and is willing um get involved
in my race, get involved in all of the other
local candidates who are running for school board that UM
(18:46):
are against. C RT and and want to see um
our schools go back to a time when they were
teaching children UM the basics perfect. Well, thank you so
much for joining us here in Luna Talks, and we
look forward to covering your race awesome. Thank you so much.
Thank you. Before we go, I wanna thanks Stephanie Meyer

It's clear the left wants to take over the education
system to indoctrinate our children, but parents are fighting back.
Today we hear from one such parents, a teacher who's
running for school board in Florida. She's battling critical race
story on the front lines and have some amazing insight
that you really need to hear. This is Luna Talks

critical race theory. So critical race theory comes from the
Frankfurt School UM, originally called critical theory and then later
(10:31):
reinvented in the nineteen seventies in our law schools here
prestigious law schools UM in the nineteen seventies to critical
race theory and UM. This was done under the work
of Kimberly cringe Shaw and then later these concepts were
applied into our schools into pedagogy, which basically is the
(10:54):
methodology of teaching students, and this was done in the
nineteen nineties under Gloria Laddston Billings UM, and now it's
been kind of repackaged and repurposed UM once again to
kind of fit this UM divide and conquered narrative in
our schools. So basically, critical race theory is a philosophy.
(11:14):
It's not a class. You're not going to be able
to open up, you know, your your child schedule and say, oh, look,
you know critical race theory one oh one. It's not
like it's a philosophy UM. It's a pedagogy. It's a
method of UM framing things UM from this perspective. And
that's why it's very difficult to UM to to explain
(11:37):
what it is, I think for a lot of people
who haven't studied it and haven't researched it UM. But
it's there, and it's under the guise of a lot
of different terminology. For example, critical race theory as it
was coined in our law schools under Kimberly Crenshaw in
the nineteen seventies under Gloria Ladstone Billings, who is UM
a PhD professor who kind of re package this for
(12:00):
the educational setting. She calls it cultural relevance teaching, and yeah,
so and under that also is is you know, equality
versus equity and things like that. So it's it's easy
to identify once you've kind of done some research on it.
And unfortunately it is all over our schools. And I
know that our governor, our great governor UM has done
(12:23):
his due diligence to try and ban this. But the
problem is that it's being called so many different things.
So it's either they are under so many different names.
So I mean, I look at this, I hear you
talking about it, and just like you mentioned above, it's
a divide and conquered strategy. Clearly, this has been in
the works for at least over thirty years, definitely with
the end all be all goal to get it into
(12:44):
the education system really being funded largely in part by
the Department of Education UM. For those that are considering
running for school board, what is the what is the
biggest thing that they can do if they are elected
to office in order to stop this. First all you
have to meet with parents, and you have to listen
to parents, UM. And I tell the parents that call
(13:05):
me that you know, want to talk about their experiences
and share their experiences with me. Put everything in writing,
Document everything, UM. When you go to a print your
child's principle about these issues, make sure you put it
in writing because they've been able to sweep this under
the rug largely by addressing this, you know, over the
phone and things like that, so not leaving a paper
trail of actually what's happening. So if you're running for
(13:28):
school board, you need to make sure that you are
meeting with parents, that you are helping parents challenge UM
this ideology and our schools by giving them the tools
they need to to combat it. You know, you've got
to go to your school board meetings. You've got to ask,
and we need to ask people who are running, candidates
who are running the tough questions, do you support this
(13:49):
damaging ideology continuing in our schools? Yes or no? UM?
And then you know, then the voters can decide what
what sort of school board members they would like to have.
But this is a big challenge because it's already here.
It's already here, it's it's in UM, it's in the
teacher trainings. UM. Unbelievable. What is being taught to teachers
(14:10):
Actually was just looking at a flyer that a teacher
sent me where they were. The flyer, which was a
school sponsored district sponsored flyer, was asking other teachers to
read um anti racist literature, for example, the book by
Robin D'Angelo, Um, how to be uh Anti Racist I
(14:32):
Believe or something like that. Um. So this is this
is school and district sponsors. So it's in the it's
in the teachings for the students, and it's also in
the trainings for the teachers. That's really really alarming because,
as you know, little kids, they don't go in being
programmed to automatically look at their skin colors. So you
can see little kids playing at a park and they
don't care. They're fighting over toys, they're not fighting over,
(14:53):
you know, the skin color. So you hear that and
then you realize that they really are indoctrinating kids at
an early age to realize those differences, which is scary
because when I hear you talking about this, I really
do kind of flashback to reading a piece of paper
that I had actually received, and it was a Communist
Goals and Objectives that was submitted to Congress in nineteen
(15:14):
sixty three, and it talks about literally hijacking a party
and then infiltrating that party and using it to push
an ideology that would literally open with open are welcome
with open arms, these socialists and communist viewpoints, and really
how a lot of these color revolutions started is that
they would fracture people based on classes, they would fact
fracture people based on races, and then they basically were
(15:35):
able to come in and essentially take over. So this
is very alarming, very concerning for those of you who
have always kind of been wondering on this topic and
wondering what you can do to get involved. I mean,
Stephanie is saying it here. Run for school board. This
is one of these things that I think a lot
of people don't really pay attention to what they should.
Are you finding that the opponents that you're running against
(15:57):
UM are being well funded by primarily liberal donors. Yes,
So in my last election that I unfortunately was not
UM successful in UM, the my opponent was very well
funded by progressive leftist groups, by the Teachers Unions and
(16:17):
Teachers Association. In fact, UM, I believe the National Teachers
Are Education Association was funding her campaign as well. And
so you're seeing a lot of these activist groups, UM,
coming out in support of these candidates that are going
to continue to push this ideology in our schools. So
we need to get behind as a community. We need
(16:38):
to get behind these candidates like myself who are willing
to you know, kind of stand up for for what
is what is right for our children, for the future generations.
As a mother of three, UM, this is just incredibly
alarming and we've got to put it into it. I
want to ask you one more question before we have
to go, Stephanie, So if you'll just sit tight, we'll
(16:59):
be right back after this quick commercial break. So we're
seeing national funding getting involved at the very very local
level because they're basically, in my opinion, trying to take
(17:22):
over the education system of our kids. Yes, and this
has been going on. This has been going on for years.
This is this is not new, UM. And we kind
of were asleep with the wheel focused on our national
races and and of course all of those are important,
but everything begins and ends with education. UM. And I
believe it was an Abraham Lincoln quote, UM that whatever
(17:43):
is being taught, the ideology or you know, the methodology
that's being taught in our schools today is that the
government of the next generation and that's exactly what is
happening right now that is so scary. Well, thank you
for everything that you're doing. I appreciate you really kind
of breaking it down to the basics, because sometimes that's
what we need. But really educating people that want to
(18:03):
make a difference and want to get involved. And then
real quickly before you go, where can people if they
like what they're hearing, go to donate to your campaign
and then also to where can they follow you for
more educational information on this topic. Okay, So I have
a Facebook page that you can follow me on. It's
Vote Stephanie Meyer UM. And then also my website is
vote Stephanie Meyer as well, and you can donate to
(18:25):
my campaign there you can sign up to get involved.
We need all the volunteers that we can get. UM.
This is a big race and we're going to be
up against another tough opponent and UM but it but
it matters and we need to get involved. So I'm
asking everyone who can and is willing um get involved
in my race, get involved in all of the other
local candidates who are running for school board that UM
(18:46):
are against. C RT and and want to see um
our schools go back to a time when they were
teaching children UM the basics perfect. Well, thank you so
much for joining us here in Luna Talks, and we
look forward to covering your race awesome. Thank you so much.
Thank you. Before we go, I wanna thanks Stephanie Meyer
