Rebecca Friedrichs spent 28 years in the classroom, and what she saw broke her. Abuse, corruption, and radical ideologies protected by teachers unions pushed her out of the system and into the fight of her life. In this raw conversation, Rebecca shares what she witnessed, how she became the lead plaintiff in a Supreme Court case, and why she believes America’s education system has been weaponized from within.
We talk about Rebecca’s experience witnessing abuse in the classroom, how unions protected bad teachers, and why she was forced to fund them. She shares how that injustice led her to challenge the system all the way to the Supreme Court, and win.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
So the lies the Union tells about how the poor
people's kids can't learn Lie, Lie, Lie from the pit
of hell. Poor kids can learn just as easily as
wealthy kids. It doesn't take a rocket science is to
teach a child. It takes good curricula, like phonics instruction.
They infiltrated the teaching profession, infiltrated our schools and removed
(00:21):
everything good. National Education Association was started in eighteen seventy. Okay,
our schools were fantastic before eighteen seventy. Now they have
infiltrated every teaching college in the nation.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I don't do any type of good cold opens. What
I found is I always screw up people's BIOSO.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
So, Rebecca, if you wouldn't mind just telling us a
little bit about your story.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I did a little back reading, but I don't want
to butcher it.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
So if you wouldn't mind just giving us a little
bit about your story, and then we'll just kind of
go from there.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
So, my name's Rebecca Friedrich's twenty eight year public school teacher.
I would still be there the schools weren't so corrupt.
I felt called to leave the schools and start educating
the American people on what's really going on in there.
So what happened to me basically is I was a
brand new student teacher. I was only twenty two years old,
learning how to teach under an incredible master teacher. But
(01:14):
every single day I would watch as the teacher next
door to us would abuse the kids. She'd grab them,
yank them, scream in their faces. Mostly she picked on
wiggily little boys. Yeah, oh, my sons too, And it
was one of the most evil things I'd ever seen
at the time. I've seen a lot more since then.
But I went to my master teacher and I said, hey,
you know, I've learning at school that I'm a man
(01:37):
dated reporter of child abuse. I see child abuse. It's
that lady next door.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
What do I do?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
And my master teacher set me down and said, today's
the day you learn about teachers' unions. And she said,
because of the unions, that lady can't be fired. She
could keep abusing the kids. There's really nothing that can
be done. And I didn't understand that at the time.
I've learned a lot more now. Most people think the
problem is teacher tenure.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
The real problem.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
The problem is collectively bargained grievance procedures that make it
almost impossible for a district to get rid of a
teacher like that.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
So it's all kinds of hoops you have to jump through.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
It can cost a district like two million dollars to
get rid of.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
A bad teacher. Really, that is evil.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah, if a teacher is bad or abusive, goodbye, should
be fired the very day.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Right. So these little children were six years old, they were.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
First graders, and so I watched really helplessly as they
were amused. And I didn't want anything to do with
a union that would allow that to happen. So a
few months later I was offered a job as a teacher.
I'm signing my contract in walks the union, Oh, well
sign here, you know, to join our union. I said no,
thank you, and they were really nasty to me, Well
(02:44):
why not, you know, we're great and we get your
raises and all this stuff. And I said, you allow
people to abuse children, and you defend the abuser. I'm
here to serve the children. And that's when they told
me if you want to teach, you'll pay. And I
found out that it was required a law as a
condition of employment. I had to pay them or I
(03:04):
couldn't teach. So I didn't know at that time, but
I later learned that it was a case out of
the US Supreme Court in nineteen seventy seven called a
Bude versus Detroit Board of Education. Mister a Boode teacher
like me, didn't think it was right he should have
to pay dues. He sued and he lost. And so
from that time on, every government employee in the United
States of America, teachers, cops, firefighters, DMV employees, department event
(03:30):
you named the agency institution, there's a union. They're all
forced to fund it as a condition of employment. So
my entire career twenty eight years, my husband's entire career
forty two years, we were both required to fund a
union that I As I started digging in and learning
more and more about them, I became a union rep
for three years to try to change things from the inside,
(03:51):
which made me a really good plaintiff later when I
sued them. But what we discovered is that the unions
are controlled and run by communists who are literally seeking
to destroy our free republic by destroying our educational system.
Because our founders told us the only way to keep
a free republic is with a well educated, moral citizenry
(04:12):
that can self govern.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
So what do they do.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
They come in, try to make the kids stupid, uneducated,
and immoral.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
That's why they sexualize them. So you know, I was
at this place.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
It was twenty twelve, and I'm at a place where
I'm like, well, this is an evil organization that I'm
forced to fund. So just literally through praying and talking
to God and doing my morning Bible study, and I'm
complaining to him, what can you do about this evil organization?
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Please help me? Lord? You know how he is. How
about you?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Exactly? So I really someone else exactly and.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Literally in my Bible study, there's literally a question that says,
is there something God's been asking you to do but
you haven't done it because you're afraid or whatever.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
I's but yes, the next question, will you do it?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I prayed on that question for three days before I
am because I didn't want to be Jonah and the
belly of a fish. So I prayed, Lord, I want
to do what you want me to do. What he
wanted me to do was write editorials to expose these people.
I want to do it, but I'm scared. I got
a son in high school. I've got a son in college,
both public schools. You know, they're going to do this
to me. They're going to bully me there and the Lord.
You know, I don't hear voices, but that still small
(05:20):
voices to my heart. Yeah, they are going to do
those things to you. And here's how you handle it.
Here's what you say, here's what you do. So okay,
I can do that, Lord, So I said yes, and
that started my journey. I wrote my first editorial, had
no idea even how to send it into the newspaper.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
I sent it to Letters to the editor. It wasn't
a letter to the editor.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
It was an eight hundred word editor but they printed
it and it got picked up all over the nation
because teachers had never spoken out and said no, my
union's evil. I know some who were speaking out, but
they couldn't get a voice. So somehow that you know,
thank God, he.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Gave it a point exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So, literally six months after my first editorial, because I
up writing them and learning, six months after, I find
myself serving as lead plaintiff in a federal lawsuit Friedrichs
versus California Teachers Association. We also sued National Education Association,
heading to the US Supreme Court to overturn that nineteen
seventy seven case that was forcing me to fundues. So
(06:19):
on my birthday, literally on my birthday in twenty eighteen,
that whole scheme was ended at the US Supreme Court.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
There was a win. Nobody has to pay a government
union anymore. It's a condition of a They can pay
if they want.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
The union's unfortunately are still there, but nobody has to
pay them.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I think it's ironic that the Stars Fingle Banner started playing,
like right when you were talking about this whole thing
about America and freedom. I mean, it's incredible, Like for
those that are listening, they're doing the intro.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Right, have our hands on our heart standing out.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Probably, But I was just like the whole time you're talking,
I was just like, man, like, that's patriotism is what
you did. Like that's incredible. And literally the song started playing,
I was like, just got chills and you're talking.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Like that's all chilly, and I see it as it
was just obeying God.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
You win the lawsuit.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
That's a longer story.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
So our suit was heard in January twenty sixteen, and
everyone knew we won oral arguments. Even the New York
Times admitted we won arguments. One month later, Justice Clia
dies very mysterious death, okay, and he was our swing vote,
and we had convinced him because he stated from the
bench to the other side, when the other lawyers on
the other side, he said, what his teachers are saying
(07:28):
is that one hundred percent of the money you're taking
from them is used for politics, because it's impacting policy,
it's impacting the community.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
And the other side said, we agree. I mean, they
agreed with our arguments.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
So we all knew we won, right, and they started groveling,
trying to, you know, we can work it out some
other way because they want their money and their power.
But one month after our case was hurd Scalia died,
and so this threw everything off. We end up getting
a tiede decision, which is a no decision, goes back
down to the low courts.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
It was a nightmare.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Another case, after Trump won and he appoints a new justice,
another case goes forward.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Of course that case got the win on my birthday,
let's go.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
So that was you know, it was sad that our
case didn't get to get the final you know, final win.
Our case was a little more thorough too. We were
trying to end the collection of does through paycheck deductions.
The other case didn't do that. Unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Are you friends with Erica Donald's I know the name.
You need to meet her, so I'd like to know
her better. You need to all connect, you guys. So
she came on the show yesterday. So she's all about
school choice, defunding Department of Education, yes, and not forcing kids.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
To go to public schools.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Just on there and you guys would actually, you guys
need to meet each other, because that's all.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
She's awesome. You're awesome. So I'll connect you guys if
that needs to happen.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Sounds great.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
My dad's also a Christian school principle. My mom's been
a teacher the whole time.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
God bless yours.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
And so when I hear these stories of you know,
abuse and classrooms and then now obviously the agenda with
grooming children, I mean, that's a whole other conversation we
can have with the public school system across the board.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Like I was blessed to be in a Christian school
that loved us, like my teachers came to my wedding.
Of course they did, because I'm like, that's the relationship
teachers do, of course, and.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
All of our students will do anything for.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
That, right.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
And that's the beautiful thing about a school that you
hire the best people for the job, you care, you love.
You don't have a classroom of nine hundred kids that
you can't teach, you know exactly.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
And so when you're talking like that's that's really important.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
And then to even force teachers that they have to
take part in a union, it's.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
It's totally messed up.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I'm going to tell you something too, since you have
such a great experience of a Christian school and with
your parents being educators. My husband's aunt, Julaine, she's no
longer with us. She died at one hundred and three.
She was still sharp as a tack. She taught forty
seven years in a one room schoolhouse. My book is
dedicated to her. I set with her when she was
one hundred and one. I set with her, Aunt Julaine,
(10:00):
what did you do when you had a child that
couldn't read?
Speaker 4 (10:04):
She looked at me like I was from Mars.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I never had a child that had trouble reading forty
seven years of teaching. Never had that problem. I said,
what did you do with discipline problems? I never had
a discipline problem. The parents supported me one hundred percent.
So what Aunt Julaine had was no union, no special
interest groups intruding into her school situation, a one room schoolhouse.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
And engaged parents and parents that were engaged to their children.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
We engage, And I want to say, it was a
poor farming community. So the lies the Union tells about
how the poor people's kids can't learn, lie, Lie, Lie
from the pit of hell. Yes, poor kids can learn
just as easily as wealthy kids. It doesn't take a
rocket sciences to teach a child. It takes good curricula
like phonics instruction. And so what these wicked unions have
(10:52):
done is they infiltrated the teaching profession, infiltrated our schools
and removed everything good. They're behind the removal of prayer,
They're behind the removal of the Ten Commandments the Bible,
They're behind the removal of phonics.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Does this stem from one person?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Is there like if you follow the chain, did a
stem to the head of Department of Education?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Does a stem to the White House?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Is a stem to like where such if you had
to pinpoint where, because normally did you know the dominoes
fall from somewhere?
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Right? This is an amazing question. I love it. I'm
always talking about what's the root? What's the root?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Right?
Speaker 4 (11:26):
The one.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Spirit you could track this to is Satan. Okay, he's right, yeah, right?
Who is he using?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
That's the question.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
It's the so called teacher unions and they have infiltrated
I'll explain some of the other groups around them. So
National Education Association was started in eighteen seventy. Okay, our
schools were fantastic before eighteen seventy. They were even fantastical,
you know, through the eighteen hundreds. But eighteen seventy National
Education Association was started. They work together with Psychological Association
(11:59):
and other special interests. John Dewey, not the Dewey decimal system,
but John Dewey, this man who's a socialist communist. They
work together with communists and socialists, same thing, in my opinion.
And these people work together to destroy our educational system
on purpose. They hate God, they hate truth, they hate beauty.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Well seas you to control uneducated people. That it's always
the play.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
That's exactly how it is. The tyrants.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
The people riding around in their cars with a mask on,
they're by themselves, they're still wearing a mask. Those are
useful idiots, right, these people are. They're propaganda's you know.
I feel sorry for them. Right, they don't know much,
but boy that they believe that lie, right, and they're
going to help push that lie. They're important to tyrants.
So these unions and their friends not only remove the
(12:47):
things I listed, but they removed Western civilization and accurate
history and the classics right now, it took them a
long time. You can't start the union in eighteen seventy
and then in eighteen seventy one completely destroy the educational system, right,
It takes time. It was a very slow process. They
really started there like the stronghold of it. In the
nineteen thirties they were able to open at Columbia University.
(13:10):
They opened the Frankfurt School that was opened in I
think it was nineteen thirty three. That school has been
used to train educators. They started by training no superintendents
and administrators.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Now they have.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Infiltrated every teaching college in the nation except for places
like Hillsdale. So all these teaching colleges are teaching a
communist system. They're not calling it communism, right, but they're
teaching self esteem. And look say method or this method
called queueing, basically where you're guessing is guessing what the
word is, look at the picture and figure it out.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
It's not reading. It's nuts.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
So all of this was done by these so called
teacher unions I call them the education cartel and their allies.
Their allies have grown exponentially. There are hundreds of special
interest groups and unionized agencies in our nation that are
destroying our schools.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Well it even just like stems even into sports, like
you know, there's no winners or losers anymore, and you're
taking the competitive edge away from kids and learning that
actually how to deal with the loss or how to
deal with the win. And so that's just that's the
beautiful thing about getting parents involved. It's the beautiful thing
about like growing up in the school that I did
and hearing about how a big group of people can
(14:24):
move and you talk about the democratic machine, and so
we think about that in politics, but we don't think about.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
That happening in schools.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
And that's the unique perspective that you're bringing to this
do the sake of time, I think I'd love to
potentially maybe have you on A twenty twenty five and
we're going to talk about this because like normally my
shows go for an hour because like the way my brain,
I decide more.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Questions, more questions, more questions.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
How can ago?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
And so I'll have you connect with Trevor. Won't make
that happen before we do that. People that are listening
to this that they're like, I want to support. What
are ways that people can support your mission?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Well, we run a nonprofit and they can find us
at for Kidsandcountry dot org and that's all spelled out
for Kids and Country dot org and donate to us.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
That would be great.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
If they go to our donate page, they'll find a
pretty powerful video. We have their three minute video. Share it,
get it out there. It helps people to understand that
these unions are the root of every problem you're facing.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Are you fighting a school board?
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Sex said, radical discipline policies where the you know, the
bad people are in charge.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
I don't care what you're facing. The unions are behind it.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Open borders, abolishing ice, defunding police. The unions are behind
all of it the government unions. So come visit us
at for Kids incountry dot org and then please follow
us on social media. I had the great pleasure of
speaking at the twenty twenty RNC, so over four years ago. Right,

and on Twitter was the worst, and X still hasn't
(15:41):
lifted it.
Speaker 4 (15:42):

much one runs on. So they pulled them from the
app stores. New company bottom. They created the new company

Speaker 4 (00:42):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
So, Rebecca, if you wouldn't mind just telling us a
little bit about your story.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I did a little back reading, but I don't want
to butcher it.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
So if you wouldn't mind just giving us a little
bit about your story, and then we'll just kind of
go from there.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
So, my name's Rebecca Friedrich's twenty eight year public school teacher.
I would still be there the schools weren't so corrupt.
I felt called to leave the schools and start educating
the American people on what's really going on in there.
So what happened to me basically is I was a
brand new student teacher. I was only twenty two years old,
learning how to teach under an incredible master teacher. But
(01:14):
every single day I would watch as the teacher next
door to us would abuse the kids. She'd grab them,
yank them, scream in their faces. Mostly she picked on
wiggily little boys. Yeah, oh, my sons too, And it
was one of the most evil things I'd ever seen
at the time. I've seen a lot more since then.
But I went to my master teacher and I said, hey,
you know, I've learning at school that I'm a man
(01:37):
dated reporter of child abuse. I see child abuse. It's
that lady next door.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
What do I do?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
And my master teacher set me down and said, today's
the day you learn about teachers' unions. And she said,
because of the unions, that lady can't be fired. She
could keep abusing the kids. There's really nothing that can
be done. And I didn't understand that at the time.
I've learned a lot more now. Most people think the
problem is teacher tenure.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
The real problem.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
The problem is collectively bargained grievance procedures that make it
almost impossible for a district to get rid of a
teacher like that.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
So it's all kinds of hoops you have to jump through.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
It can cost a district like two million dollars to
get rid of.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
A bad teacher. Really, that is evil.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah, if a teacher is bad or abusive, goodbye, should
be fired the very day.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Right. So these little children were six years old, they were.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
First graders, and so I watched really helplessly as they
were amused. And I didn't want anything to do with
a union that would allow that to happen. So a
few months later I was offered a job as a teacher.
I'm signing my contract in walks the union, Oh, well
sign here, you know, to join our union. I said no,
thank you, and they were really nasty to me, Well
(02:44):
why not, you know, we're great and we get your
raises and all this stuff. And I said, you allow
people to abuse children, and you defend the abuser. I'm
here to serve the children. And that's when they told
me if you want to teach, you'll pay. And I
found out that it was required a law as a
condition of employment. I had to pay them or I
(03:04):
couldn't teach. So I didn't know at that time, but
I later learned that it was a case out of
the US Supreme Court in nineteen seventy seven called a
Bude versus Detroit Board of Education. Mister a Boode teacher
like me, didn't think it was right he should have
to pay dues. He sued and he lost. And so
from that time on, every government employee in the United
States of America, teachers, cops, firefighters, DMV employees, department event
(03:30):
you named the agency institution, there's a union. They're all
forced to fund it as a condition of employment. So
my entire career twenty eight years, my husband's entire career
forty two years, we were both required to fund a
union that I As I started digging in and learning
more and more about them, I became a union rep
for three years to try to change things from the inside,
(03:51):
which made me a really good plaintiff later when I
sued them. But what we discovered is that the unions
are controlled and run by communists who are literally seeking
to destroy our free republic by destroying our educational system.
Because our founders told us the only way to keep
a free republic is with a well educated, moral citizenry
(04:12):
that can self govern.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
So what do they do.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
They come in, try to make the kids stupid, uneducated,
and immoral.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
That's why they sexualize them. So you know, I was
at this place.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
It was twenty twelve, and I'm at a place where
I'm like, well, this is an evil organization that I'm
forced to fund. So just literally through praying and talking
to God and doing my morning Bible study, and I'm
complaining to him, what can you do about this evil organization?
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Please help me? Lord? You know how he is. How
about you?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Exactly? So I really someone else exactly and.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Literally in my Bible study, there's literally a question that says,
is there something God's been asking you to do but
you haven't done it because you're afraid or whatever.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
I's but yes, the next question, will you do it?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I prayed on that question for three days before I
am because I didn't want to be Jonah and the
belly of a fish. So I prayed, Lord, I want
to do what you want me to do. What he
wanted me to do was write editorials to expose these people.
I want to do it, but I'm scared. I got
a son in high school. I've got a son in college,
both public schools. You know, they're going to do this
to me. They're going to bully me there and the Lord.
You know, I don't hear voices, but that still small
(05:20):
voices to my heart. Yeah, they are going to do
those things to you. And here's how you handle it.
Here's what you say, here's what you do. So okay,
I can do that, Lord, So I said yes, and
that started my journey. I wrote my first editorial, had
no idea even how to send it into the newspaper.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
I sent it to Letters to the editor. It wasn't
a letter to the editor.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
It was an eight hundred word editor but they printed
it and it got picked up all over the nation
because teachers had never spoken out and said no, my
union's evil. I know some who were speaking out, but
they couldn't get a voice. So somehow that you know,
thank God, he.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Gave it a point exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So, literally six months after my first editorial, because I
up writing them and learning, six months after, I find
myself serving as lead plaintiff in a federal lawsuit Friedrichs
versus California Teachers Association. We also sued National Education Association,
heading to the US Supreme Court to overturn that nineteen
seventy seven case that was forcing me to fundues. So
(06:19):
on my birthday, literally on my birthday in twenty eighteen,
that whole scheme was ended at the US Supreme Court.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
There was a win. Nobody has to pay a government
union anymore. It's a condition of a They can pay
if they want.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
The union's unfortunately are still there, but nobody has to
pay them.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I think it's ironic that the Stars Fingle Banner started playing,
like right when you were talking about this whole thing
about America and freedom. I mean, it's incredible, Like for
those that are listening, they're doing the intro.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Right, have our hands on our heart standing out.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Probably, But I was just like the whole time you're talking,
I was just like, man, like, that's patriotism is what
you did. Like that's incredible. And literally the song started playing,
I was like, just got chills and you're talking.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Like that's all chilly, and I see it as it
was just obeying God.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
You win the lawsuit.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
That's a longer story.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
So our suit was heard in January twenty sixteen, and
everyone knew we won oral arguments. Even the New York
Times admitted we won arguments. One month later, Justice Clia
dies very mysterious death, okay, and he was our swing vote,
and we had convinced him because he stated from the
bench to the other side, when the other lawyers on
the other side, he said, what his teachers are saying
(07:28):
is that one hundred percent of the money you're taking
from them is used for politics, because it's impacting policy,
it's impacting the community.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
And the other side said, we agree. I mean, they
agreed with our arguments.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
So we all knew we won, right, and they started groveling,
trying to, you know, we can work it out some
other way because they want their money and their power.
But one month after our case was hurd Scalia died,
and so this threw everything off. We end up getting
a tiede decision, which is a no decision, goes back
down to the low courts.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
It was a nightmare.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Another case, after Trump won and he appoints a new justice,
another case goes forward.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Of course that case got the win on my birthday,
let's go.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
So that was you know, it was sad that our
case didn't get to get the final you know, final win.
Our case was a little more thorough too. We were
trying to end the collection of does through paycheck deductions.
The other case didn't do that. Unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Are you friends with Erica Donald's I know the name.
You need to meet her, so I'd like to know
her better. You need to all connect, you guys. So
she came on the show yesterday. So she's all about
school choice, defunding Department of Education, yes, and not forcing kids.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
To go to public schools.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Just on there and you guys would actually, you guys
need to meet each other, because that's all.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
She's awesome. You're awesome. So I'll connect you guys if
that needs to happen.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Sounds great.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
My dad's also a Christian school principle. My mom's been
a teacher the whole time.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
God bless yours.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
And so when I hear these stories of you know,
abuse and classrooms and then now obviously the agenda with
grooming children, I mean, that's a whole other conversation we
can have with the public school system across the board.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Like I was blessed to be in a Christian school
that loved us, like my teachers came to my wedding.
Of course they did, because I'm like, that's the relationship
teachers do, of course, and.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
All of our students will do anything for.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
That, right.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
And that's the beautiful thing about a school that you
hire the best people for the job, you care, you love.
You don't have a classroom of nine hundred kids that
you can't teach, you know exactly.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
And so when you're talking like that's that's really important.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
And then to even force teachers that they have to
take part in a union, it's.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
It's totally messed up.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I'm going to tell you something too, since you have
such a great experience of a Christian school and with
your parents being educators. My husband's aunt, Julaine, she's no
longer with us. She died at one hundred and three.
She was still sharp as a tack. She taught forty
seven years in a one room schoolhouse. My book is
dedicated to her. I set with her when she was
one hundred and one. I set with her, Aunt Julaine,
(10:00):
what did you do when you had a child that
couldn't read?
Speaker 4 (10:04):
She looked at me like I was from Mars.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I never had a child that had trouble reading forty
seven years of teaching. Never had that problem. I said,
what did you do with discipline problems? I never had
a discipline problem. The parents supported me one hundred percent.
So what Aunt Julaine had was no union, no special
interest groups intruding into her school situation, a one room schoolhouse.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
And engaged parents and parents that were engaged to their children.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
We engage, And I want to say, it was a
poor farming community. So the lies the Union tells about
how the poor people's kids can't learn, lie, Lie, Lie
from the pit of hell. Yes, poor kids can learn
just as easily as wealthy kids. It doesn't take a
rocket sciences to teach a child. It takes good curricula
like phonics instruction. And so what these wicked unions have
(10:52):
done is they infiltrated the teaching profession, infiltrated our schools
and removed everything good. They're behind the removal of prayer,
They're behind the removal of the Ten Commandments the Bible,
They're behind the removal of phonics.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Does this stem from one person?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Is there like if you follow the chain, did a
stem to the head of Department of Education?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Does a stem to the White House?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Is a stem to like where such if you had
to pinpoint where, because normally did you know the dominoes
fall from somewhere?
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Right? This is an amazing question. I love it. I'm
always talking about what's the root? What's the root?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Right?
Speaker 4 (11:26):
The one.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Spirit you could track this to is Satan. Okay, he's right, yeah, right?
Who is he using?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
That's the question.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
It's the so called teacher unions and they have infiltrated
I'll explain some of the other groups around them. So
National Education Association was started in eighteen seventy. Okay, our
schools were fantastic before eighteen seventy. They were even fantastical,
you know, through the eighteen hundreds. But eighteen seventy National
Education Association was started. They work together with Psychological Association
(11:59):
and other special interests. John Dewey, not the Dewey decimal system,
but John Dewey, this man who's a socialist communist. They
work together with communists and socialists, same thing, in my opinion.
And these people work together to destroy our educational system
on purpose. They hate God, they hate truth, they hate beauty.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Well seas you to control uneducated people. That it's always
the play.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
That's exactly how it is. The tyrants.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
The people riding around in their cars with a mask on,
they're by themselves, they're still wearing a mask. Those are
useful idiots, right, these people are. They're propaganda's you know.
I feel sorry for them. Right, they don't know much,
but boy that they believe that lie, right, and they're
going to help push that lie. They're important to tyrants.
So these unions and their friends not only remove the
(12:47):
things I listed, but they removed Western civilization and accurate
history and the classics right now, it took them a
long time. You can't start the union in eighteen seventy
and then in eighteen seventy one completely destroy the educational system, right,
It takes time. It was a very slow process. They
really started there like the stronghold of it. In the
nineteen thirties they were able to open at Columbia University.
(13:10):
They opened the Frankfurt School that was opened in I
think it was nineteen thirty three. That school has been
used to train educators. They started by training no superintendents
and administrators.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Now they have.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Infiltrated every teaching college in the nation except for places
like Hillsdale. So all these teaching colleges are teaching a
communist system. They're not calling it communism, right, but they're
teaching self esteem. And look say method or this method
called queueing, basically where you're guessing is guessing what the
word is, look at the picture and figure it out.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
It's not reading. It's nuts.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
So all of this was done by these so called
teacher unions I call them the education cartel and their allies.
Their allies have grown exponentially. There are hundreds of special
interest groups and unionized agencies in our nation that are
destroying our schools.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Well it even just like stems even into sports, like
you know, there's no winners or losers anymore, and you're
taking the competitive edge away from kids and learning that
actually how to deal with the loss or how to
deal with the win. And so that's just that's the
beautiful thing about getting parents involved. It's the beautiful thing
about like growing up in the school that I did
and hearing about how a big group of people can
(14:24):
move and you talk about the democratic machine, and so
we think about that in politics, but we don't think about.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
That happening in schools.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
And that's the unique perspective that you're bringing to this
do the sake of time, I think I'd love to
potentially maybe have you on A twenty twenty five and
we're going to talk about this because like normally my
shows go for an hour because like the way my brain,
I decide more.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Questions, more questions, more questions.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
How can ago?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
And so I'll have you connect with Trevor. Won't make
that happen before we do that. People that are listening
to this that they're like, I want to support. What
are ways that people can support your mission?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Well, we run a nonprofit and they can find us
at for Kidsandcountry dot org and that's all spelled out
for Kids and Country dot org and donate to us.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
That would be great.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
If they go to our donate page, they'll find a
pretty powerful video. We have their three minute video. Share it,
get it out there. It helps people to understand that
these unions are the root of every problem you're facing.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Are you fighting a school board?
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Sex said, radical discipline policies where the you know, the
bad people are in charge.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
I don't care what you're facing. The unions are behind it.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Open borders, abolishing ice, defunding police. The unions are behind
all of it the government unions. So come visit us
at for Kids incountry dot org and then please follow
us on social media. I had the great pleasure of
speaking at the twenty twenty RNC, so over four years ago. Right,
I've been shadow banned ever since. Of course it's bad,
and on Twitter was the worst, and X still hasn't
(15:41):
lifted it.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
I think they don't even realize it. Right.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I can't get a hold of anybody to fix it.
We need followers. We just need people to follow us,
and our pages are there so you can follow us
at at Rebecca for Kids. That's all spelled out at
Rebecca for Kids on all the platforms.

website for Kids incountry dot org and on our social
media at Rebecca for Kids.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
Number one message, message message, get the truth out there
that help everybody to understand.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Look, you don't have to pay these evil unions anymore.
You've been free.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
There is hope.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
There's a ton of hope. We got to get that
message out, which is why they're blocking us, right. They
don't want this message out and then our second goal
is to educate people. We I write editorials every week.
They're all archive on our website. We have toolkits we
just we have for free. We help you get out
of the unions, we answer your questions. So we just
have all these resources there. We don't charge you anything
for it.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
So please have you connected with the Parlor team yet?
The social media? Yeah, so that's that's that's the social
media app you guys need to get on right now.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
They're back. They were banned, yeah, he.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Is there the ones that the guy that started it
was thrown in prison or something.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Yeah, they were blamed for J six unbelievable and friends.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Aw.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
So Amazon Web Services like is the software that pretty
much one runs on. So they pulled them from the
app stores. New company bottom. They created the new company
on a blockchain, so it's completely just decentralized. Good for them,
and they're back. Parlor was the original free speech platform. Yep,
they are back. And that's where I think if you
want a place that you can completely post without fear

really good connector connect you with friends, with everyone from
the boarder, directors all the way down, so I'll okay
