Chalkboard Heresy

Chalkboard Heresy

The Chalkboard Heresy Show, hosted by Frank McCormick and Paul Rossi. We are ex-teachers who lost their jobs for speaking out publicly against progressive orthodoxy in our schools. We offer interviews, insight, commentary, and debate about the pushback against woke indoctrination in K-12 education. Many of our guests are fellow dissident educators--Chalkboard Heretics like us--who ran afoul of a radical agenda in their schools. If you like our show, support us: patreon.com/chalkboardheresyshow

Meet our guest Mitch Hobbs, painter and art teacher, who shares with us his story of how he became a Chalkboard Heretic.

His blasphemy? Publicly declaring his admiration for... the great economist Thomas Sowell.

His punishment? A struggle session where a host of his colleagues and administrators grow increasingly hostile as they fail to extract a confession.

On our first episode, we welcome Theo Olson, a teacher fired for questioning the school-to-prison pipeline narrative.

For this crime, Black Lives Matter threatened to shut down his school district, came into his classroom, chased him out of subsequent jobs, and drove him to the verge of suicide.
