Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Today in the main source of TruthPodcast, I speak with our guest,
Maria Galian, who is the homeschooladmin on Instagram and also Facebook, and
also you can search for the homeschooladmin online. Her core values are faith,
family freedom, and child advocacy.And I'm right there with her.
She's a wife and a mother oftwo children, one infant and a one
middle schooler who's actually attending public school. But our goal is to get you

(00:23):
parents who might be on the fence, a gentle push to consider homeschooling,
make that critical educational decision for yourchild's safety, for their emotional, physical,
and spiritual well being, because rightnow, Maine and the nation's K
through twelve public school system is nothingbut an indoctrination center. This is the
main source of Truth podcast, andvery few parents upset anything, but Sean

(00:47):
mcbriarty did. Sean mcbriarty is inthe Thoughts Locust today. Sean, how
pervasive is that in our school?Sean mcbriarty joins us. Now he just
won this lawsuit and it's forty thousanddollars from the school board. Good morning,
Shawn, his most dangerous dad.Apparently, how are you are you
being or were you still buy alocal district for exfolding the transgender library dislike,

(01:15):
can you explain to what's would happen? Hey? You all so with
everything that's going on to be disposedjust like outwhole mail, Yeah about the
overceptialization of books and libraries at thepool and then looked like you put the
handle on that. That's what Imeant you to support there. I asked
you to support this podcast if youwanted to continue, and if you want
to help me with my legal expensesand God willing a legal offense fund to

(01:38):
help others in need, please considerchipping in at www dot gifsen go dot
com, slash Sean mcbriarty and nowonto the show. So, folks,
this is this season two, episodeseventy two and Maria Gallion the Home school
Admin. It is August eighth,twenty twenty three, as records today and

(02:00):
as I do with my podcasts.Bible Verse this is from Proverbs twenty two
six. Start children off on theway they should go, and even when
they are old, they will notturn from it. So parents, to
me, that means the foundation ofsetting your child up for success in the
future is your job. It's notthe school's job. There are should be

(02:22):
no co parenting going on with thesepublic school systems. The schools can't even
teach the very basics of education,but now they want to push social emotional
learning onto your child. It justis not working. The system is broken.
The schools are irreparably damaged and broken. The entire model is broken.
So the only update I have fortoday is an article by Steve Robinson the

(02:45):
Main Wire from yesterday, August seven, twenty twenty three, and the headline
is Main's diversity specialist claimed libraries area tool of white supremacy. He goes
on to say the main state government'sdiversity Equity and Inclusion and Belonging specialist also
bang Or High School has that samerole in their in their high school and

(03:07):
an actual diversity equity, inclusion belongingspecialist. Anyway, the one for the
state of Maine told the Chronicle ofHigher Education last year that libraries were designed
to adverse to advance white supremacy,and the quote here modern American libraries are
rooted in a history of white supremacyand exclusion. The lack of diversity in
the field today is a consequence ofthat design, said d EIB specialist Shiva

(03:31):
Dera Bondi, an employee of theDepartment of Administrative and Financial Services. Now,
I think from the picture, Shivalooks like a woke white woman,
but you know who knows. Shegoes on to say, quote true change
will only take place when leaders arewilling to make sacrifices, relinquish power in

(03:51):
pursuit of equity and center BYPAWC,which is Black, Indigenous and people of
color voices. Dry Brandy said,this is a difficult for some to hear,
but all the other small steps onlyserve to appease the guilt of the
privileged. Now again the guilt ofthe privileged in Maine, what we're seeing
is a bunch of woke white womengoing off the reservation and saying things like

(04:15):
this, that libraries were designed toadvanced white supremacy. It's your main run,
d ie. This is diversity,inclusion, equity. Call it die
because it's killing our main school children. This is their continuum, this is
their constant victimhood and nonsensical approach todiscussions about political narratives. And as I

(04:35):
mentioned in our podcast a couple podcastsago, you know I'd urge every main
taxpayer to send a FOA Freedom ofAccess Act to your local public in school
library run by your towns and askthem if they are financially supporting the American
Library Association. And the reason Iasked that is the American Library Association,
and you can listen to the podcastfrom a couple of weeks ago, is

(04:58):
run by a Marxist lesbian, EmilyDominiski. Those are her words, not
mine, Marxist lesbian. And sothe World Library Association's gaining momentum and for
full transparency. I'm on the boardthat will be a safe haven for learning,
not indoctrination. And here's one ofthe testimonials that we just posted on
the World Library Association Dot org websitesays, you're a quote. I'm a

(05:19):
public librarian and a very liberal librarysystem. My library system censors all books
that are conservatives and that are consideredanti science aka any books that do not
support big pharmacy and that are criticalof the vaccine industry, or books that
do not support the notion of climatechange. All just complete ps. By

(05:39):
the way she goes on or hegoes on, I'm not sure who it
is to say I would love tohave a balanced collection in my library system,
but is impossible since all conservative andnon government approved science is not ordered
even when the members of the publicand I a manager librarian, requests that
such titles are purchased. All thatwe offer at this point is left wing

(06:00):
government propaganda. And obviously the otherLibrary Association, the ALA, their push
against censorship is such an insulting sham, given that its censors all that I've
mentioned above, but supports books thatpush the sexualization and transgenderification of young children.
And again that's a quote that's onour website now, the World Library

(06:23):
Association World Library Association dot org,and you can follow us on Twitter at
w library A and we hope thatyou take that challenge on and send hey,
Freedom of Access Act or FOYA insome states, send your right to
note to find out how much moneyyour local town is paying the ALA in

(06:43):
dues, both in your public libraryfor your town and your public school libraries.
So the other thing I shared someexciting news recently. I'm now working

Maria A. Galleon. Thank you. Thank you, Yeah, absolutely,

(10:05):
I thank you for your time.I'm so glad that we're able to connect
and have this discussion. And soone of the things on your homeschool admin
page. It talked a little bitof finding your true north. So can
you tell our our listeners a littlebit and maybe encapsulate how this kind of
all came about and then you knowwhen in twenty twenty one we really kicked
this off big time. Well,I would say that it all started when

(10:30):
it started when I started to becomea little bit more traditional, like wanting
tradition in my life, desiring thingsthat weren't what I was being taught in
college. And so eventually I realizedthat what I wanted was such a it
really falls into like I wanted amonogamous relationship and to be married and to

(10:54):
have children and to have all thetraditional things. And then once I started
wanting that and believing it was possiblefor myself because I did come out of
an indoctrination camp, it's it's myown a few of them. After going
to colleges, I realized that Ithought, you know, I found my
husband, and I started realizing thatthere's just so much value in having a

(11:20):
family and value in standing out foryour freedoms. My father's from Cuba.
I'm the first generation Cuban American,and so I've been to Cuba three times,
and I've seen what it's like tolive without freedoms, and so I
am very much an advocate for freedomsand also the medical the medical freedoms that

(11:43):
has been sort of brought from uphere in the state of Maine and have
forced a lot of us too halfto homeschool. That created basically a nice
big storm. Where after I finishedmy master's degree and I had a lot
of skills in order to research andstudy, I started studying. I started

(12:05):
studying their vaccines and what I waspreparing for to have a child, and
I said, oh, I havea time to do this, and so
I started looking to those things.And at the time it was twenty nineteen.
Hearing me there was a law paskcalled LB. Seven ninety eight that
took away our religious and our philosophicalexemptions to put our child in public schools.

(12:28):
And when that happened, I reallyhadn't even conceived yet. I was
struggling on a trank to concede journey. Eventually, the law did pass,
and even with the people's leetle weweren't able to stop it. And so
that's what landed me on this journeyof realizing how important my freedoms were and
how I wasn't so convicted in mydesires to have a child and make sure

(12:52):
that nothing more for risk were addedto her life. And now that she's
here, that this is the trajectoryfor me. But the calling what brought
me to be the homeschool admin isbecause in twenty nineteen, from there forward
and throughout the pandemic, people areasking me, Marian, come do this.

(13:13):
Come be my homeschool teacher, podteacher? Will you tutor my kids?
Will you come be my nanny?And instead I just decided to take
all my skills and put it intothis. I just basically asked God,
what can I do with these skillsfor the world as third needs? And
I put it together. Well,it's amazing. I mean, that's an
amazing journey as well. And Ithink a lot of parents really in Maine

(13:35):
and across the country saw the COVIDpolitical theater that was going on in the
schools and with the government really asa chance to kind of pause and reflect
and maybe get involved. There's stillnot as many people involved as I'd like
to see, but people every dayare coming out. And you mentioned your
father, right, a Cubanist fromCuba and really that that whole communist aspect

(14:00):
of life. You and I didn'tknow that about you. So that's that's
an interesting perspective that not many peoplehave. Yeah, not people, and
they don't understand it even with theperspective. And I really use my voice
as much as possible, especially toshare what I saw in Cuba and through
pictures and through my words. Butthere's it's so exhausting because somebody can really

(14:24):
fully understand what it's like to loseyour freedoms and to not be able to
say a certain leader's name in public, or have to fight to find water
or stand in line for bread.It's not nothing like what we're close to
in terms of losing our freedoms,but it's a very slippery slope and I
can see it a million miles away. So I'm just very I love our

(14:46):
constitutional freedoms and I want to keepthem. Yeah, I've definitely become a
constitutionalist over the last couple of yearswith the multiple legal cases against the schools
and everything that's going on to tryto fight for our First Amendment rights.
And you know, when we talkabout homeschooling, I mean that's such an
amazing gift for parents to bond withtheir children, and it's in a much

(15:07):
more flexible way than most can understand. So I want to talk to you
about some of the excuses that Ihear from parents, and I have a
lot of parents reach out to me, and I've really been advocating probably for
the last year and a half.I think for when I go back in
my history, three years ago,I figured if I just showed these schools
all of things that are doing wrong, they'll just correct them. And a

(15:28):
year and a half into that battle, I had a conversation with a friend
and my friends said, hey,Sean, look they've been doing this for
decades, right. So I dida podcast on Charlotte Iszarbite's book, The
Deliberate Dumbing Down of the America.I think it's what it was called,
and it goes back into the nineteenthirties and nineteen forties, and the whole
thing is just so much bigger thanwe think. This is a machine.

(15:48):
Right. So the last year anda half, I've high switched gears and
I said no to every parent Icould talk to, pull your kids out
of these schools immediately, and ifyou can't do that for whatever reason,
and we're going to talk through someof these excuses. Is then you ought
to be fighting for your kids educationalrights every single day like their lives depend
on it, because they do.So, So let's work down through some
of these I guess, you knowexcuses. I'm going to call them excuses,

(16:12):
but they're probably just parents that arenot educated enough to know that they
can overcome these things. And reallythat's your role. So the biggest one,
you know that I hear most often, I guess is as a parent.
You know, I'm not educated enoughto home school because I'm not a
teacher by trade. So what wouldyou say to a parent that's that's concerned
that they don't have the educational baseto really teach their kids what they need

(16:37):
to learn. There's two things thatI say to that, because everybody says
that, even if everybody says thatin the beginning, at least until they
talked to me, and I tellthat, listen, you are their first
and their best teacher. There's noother teacher in the world who can look
at your child and see that theyneed a break from the computer program that
you just sat in at. Whetheryou're teacher in a public school system and

(17:00):
you're in the library and you setall the children up at the desk for
their math tests. That's going totell you how great they are. Not
I really don't know that, butyou know because that's what that's how they
treat it and right or if you'rethe parent or an instructor sitting in the

(17:22):
child down with a math curriculum onlinecurriculum, you as a parent will have
the eye clearer than anybody else tobe able to see that the child needs
a break because they are dazing out, they are hungry. You know everything
about their day and all their livesall the way up until now, and
you've taught them everything else they know, So why would you all of a

(17:42):
sudden think that you don't have theability to teach all the things that you've
already Like, there's stapes that you'vealready been talking about. When you go
into the later grades, the maththat you literally probably you've already done,
you might have to walk yourself througha little bit with them. But that
is what the beauty of homeschooling providesis they provide your moment to connect with

(18:07):
your child even more and show themthat you learned this too. You might
need even refresher at this moment.That doesn't mean you're not a good teacher.
Do you think that every teacher rememberseverything that they're teaching. No,
they remember as they refreshed, theyor they go and they look and they
learn. So teachers are learners too, and so that's one the big part

(18:30):
I think that can get me firedup. The second part about the second
part about them not being a teacheris that it's you keep you need to
stop saying these things to yourself.There's so much that you say to yourself
about homeschooling and about you and yourchildren, and we say these things that

(18:53):
don't that aren't true. But it'salmost like you're saying that they're self prophesied,
and so you're saying it and thenyou're not doing it, or you're
saying to yourself they can't sit downin focus. Well, you're telling your
child they can't sit down and focus. There's a difference when you're advocating for

(19:15):
somebody, you know, when yourchild definitely can't sit down and focus,
and you're saying that in the schoolsystem or so and soupefully, but you
have to be confident enough to tryand to realize that you are their first
in their best. No, Ithink that's that's that's outstanding guidance. And
really, you know, the Teacher'sUnion, the NBA Teachers Union, they

(19:37):
tell us, you know that parentscan't do this because they don't have the
education, but they're doing it becauseit's a big business, and in some
degrees it's a big grift for theindoctrinations happening, the leftism and the far
radical stuff that they're pushing in theschools. And you know, I've seen
a lot of teachers across the state, and I say all the time,
for the record, not all teachersare bad, right, but I've had

(20:02):
many teachers tell me that nearly nineout of ten teachers in the main system
are going along with this Marxist sortof indoctrination effort flowing throughout public K through
twelve schools. And the best exampleI have is the twenty twenty two Teacher
of the Year, Kelsey Stoyanova,who used to teach right here, two
miles from my house, was pushingchild pornography to eleven year olds in middle

(20:23):
school, you know, And it'slike the most woke people available are those
that are selected for these teacher ofthe year situations. So she's not somebody
to emulate. You know that theparent really knows more. And I also
say there are some really really stupid, highly educated people running these schools,

(20:44):
you know, lack of critical thinkingskills. They've been in a government position
all their life. They don't knowhow to run a business. They don't
know that they are producing a productthat is really really bad right now unfortunately.
So another question that comes up is, I don't know what the state
of Maine or the state that you'rein, is going to require me to
do. So can you comment alittle bit about that, Like what are
the general frameworks of what a homeschoolparent would have to do to report to

(21:10):
the state if anything? Can Ianswer that for you after I touch on
one thing that you've just said aboutthe lasting So something that I've recognized too,
and I think that people need tounderstand, especially if you're wanting to
homeschool, just because you're children inour attending schools not mean not being educated.
Yeah that's a great Another way,just because you're dropping a child off

(21:33):
at school does not you're getting aneducation. And I can guarantee you that
if you look into what your childisn't isn't learning and doesn't doesn't know in
public school the way that everybody wantsto scrutinize homeschoolers, or the way that
homeschoolers have to take sort of likeassessments to see what are at or don't

(21:56):
have to if they were through butlike are you know, are pushed to
size theirselves up to society. Well, if we size up these public schools
children right now where they're at,where you're supposed to be, we would
not like you're saying and statistically sayit. It's clear to say, I
have a child in the public schoolsystem. I'm raising my godson who he's

(22:17):
our nephew, and he's living withus, he's been with us for three
years now, and I so Ihave while I'm the homeschool I'd meant I
also have, like I have thispiece that I'm understanding definitely, and I
can see I have this length right, and he's not where he needs to
be and they're not teaching him whenhe needs to be learning. This grade

(22:37):
had no homework, and some someteachers and educators would say, like homework
isn't fair like they are at school. They shouldn't have homework, and I
actually do that, I do.But when you are expecting them in sixth
grade to read articles in you know, reverbitated back to you or be writing
stuff and have this weight of homework, then you're not setting our children up

(23:02):
for preparation for the next year.They're setting them to feel so not great,
you know, so I can see. I just want to make sure
that people understand that just because you'resending your child somewhere out where you're you
won't even be saying for this thingcalled education does not mean that they're being
educated. Because I even went tocollege and there was moments and times in

(23:26):
parts of it that weren't education,but there were in fact indoctrination. Yeah,
there's there's two parts of that.You said that again is great perspective.
So you have, you know,you have a child in the school
system, and you can see thedifferences. I mean, most from what
I understand, most homeschool kids aresome two to three years further along than

(23:48):
they're traditionally you know, public kaythrough twelve school peers, and so you
know, especially again I say itall the time, this COVID political theater
set these kids back two or threefour years on their education. They then
received billions of dollars of funding,in which many schools like Bangor are just
now trying to figure out what todo with the money they received. Uh

(24:11):
And and none of those kids receivedthe guidance to catch them back up.
I mean, they're forever stunted.Actually, a lot of my clients,
a lot of my clients last year, actually pretty much eighty percent of my
clients last year, we're we're comingto me because they had they were never
intending to homeschool, but they werecoming to me because they had fallen their

(24:34):
students had fallen through the crack.So they they're students kind of labeled that
when they were honest, and sothat's why they were, you know that
home schoolt Yeah. But and there'sthe other part I wanted to set touch
on two about I listened to yourone of the podcasts. You were talking
about somebody leaving the school board thatyou write a resolution letter and someone was

(24:57):
leaving the school board, and itreminded me of my time in corporate when
you know, I would stand upwith my voice. I didn't even realize
I had a conservative voice at thetime, but it is I guess I
would stand up for you know,the one person in the room who didn't
have a hat, and everybody's like, well that doesn't matterally on me to
get outside, and I would juststand up for these things in my values

(25:18):
of what I saw was wrong,and they, you know, you just
get sh shushed and pushed out ofthose rooms because they don't want to solve
problems. They don't want to peopledon't want you solving problems. They just
want you to show up their work, especially in places like that that want
you to following cool. You can'tgo in and teach what you want unless

(25:38):
it's with your green course. Well, and so in this no, that's
okay, this is great. Soso what is what is the state of
Maine, for example, require ahomeschool parent to do? What do you
have to report or you know,do you have to report anything? Like?
What do you need to do toultimately get this ball? Yeah?
Okay, So I want to sharewith you a resource that I use with

(26:00):
all my clients. This is whereI start with everybody, even people who
are out of state, asking mefor support HSLDA dot org. Is the
Homeschool Legal Defense Association. It isa great resource for all homeschool families.
I'm not going to go further intoit. I'm utilizing a page on there.

(26:21):
It's under their drop down menu underthe legal section, and then it
says state home school laws. Youcan find your state look up the laws
here in the state of Man.You have two options. You can open
and close your own homeschool, oryou can homeschool as a student of a
private school, where you get whereall kinds of families are working together and

(26:42):
they're they're established as a private school. That's not the most common one.
The more common one is option onewhere you send in a letter of intent
to your local superintendence office. You'regonna want to send that in ten days
before you start homeschooling, or andyou don't need to start homeschooling to they're
six years old, so you don'twant to do these legal things till they're

(27:03):
six, so that we don't erodeour freedoms at homeschoolers anymore. And I
watched one of the videos about tryingto force the you know, pre k
curriculum and all those things down intoyou know, four year olds which this
is insane, right, and sothe state of Maine for homeschooling laws will
tell you that you only need tohomeschool from the age of six to the

(27:23):
age of seventeen, okay, Andso when you turn your child turns six,
ten days beforehand, you're going towant to send the first letter of
intent. Or if your child iseleven years old and you're pulling them out
this week, or you're pulling themout, we'll start. Because you can
do that is you're freedom to doit any time. Block. It's interesting

(27:45):
that was send in a letter ofintent HSLDA dot org. Correct, Okay,
great, great, And so allthe different all the states in the
United States laws are there, andthey're also that it's an association full of
helpful lawyers who would help if youare signed up as a member of their
that's but also I'm not even affiliatedwith them. I just utilize them.

(28:07):
They're grade when you send in aletter intent, it's pretty simple. It
says that there's a bullet list hereon the website you'll find so basically,
again you're just going to send yourletter of intent. You're going to state
that you're doing the homeschooling for onehundred and seventy five days that you're going
to cover the required subjects, andthat you're going to send in an end

(28:29):
of the year letter as well.That will include an assessment or a review
from a certified teacher. So sothered hundred and seventy five days that we
said, yeah, that's correct.Hundred and seventy five. Uh, isn't
that that seems higher than what theteachers are contracted for. For some reason,
I thought the teachers are only contractedfor like one hundred and thirty six

(28:52):
days or something. I'd have togo back and look. I know that
the public school system. I thinkthat they do like they schedule out maybe
like one hundred and eighty days orsomething like that. Probably the snow days
stuff. Yeah, if they countall of the in service days and all
the other nonsense they do. Yes, they have their day. Oh my

(29:12):
goodness. The snow day is theway that they've switched since the pandemic.
They you know, they're they're again, they're playing, they're playing with it.
Basically, they don't have snow days. They have maybe one or two
snow days and then from there they'lldo Teachers are still getting paid. My
husband really seats well, so we'reall day long helping him through instruction that

(29:33):
he's never been given or packets we'venever seen. Oh it's beautiful. They're
really they're really good at all themanipulating the system basically, I mean,
we we all we all believe that, you know, the teacher's union just
wanted these folks to sit home andnot have to go to you know,
work in the whole deal, whichagain put these kids behind. But so
the answer to that question is,it's not as complicated as far as what
the state's going to require a parentto do. You don't need to stress

(29:56):
out too much, right, Okay, alright, great, what about I
don't have time, so I've gotmy own thoughts about this. But tell
me a little bit about what's thedifference between homeschooling time and the flexibility to
I think, really do that ina twenty four hour window theoretically to you
know, you have to be therein the seed at eight o'clock and you

(30:18):
have to have lunch at eleven thirty, and you have to get back on
the bus at two thirty. Sotell us a little bit about the differences
there. Well, I just wantto say please don't do that. School
it's not school, okay. Yourchildren that we have aren't born in schools.
It's very unnatural. We we haveone or two children, is that

(30:41):
you know, we don't have schoolsand litters, So it's very unnatural.
And also you don't want to recreatethat at home. So when you are
trying to think about making your homeschool schedule routine or flow, you're gonna
you're gonna have you know, twoor three to four or five things to
do a day, and you cando it at any time during that day.

(31:02):
You the parent could be completely involvedor not involved at all, depending
on your homeschooling style. And alsofor like that working parent, you don't
who says that you need to teachor pull out lessons or that they need
to do their work between like yousaid, eight and three on the weekend
in the morning of your working parentor so basically, like I said,

(31:26):
the law is just one hundred andseventy five days. It does not say
how long your day needs to be, nor does it say how much you
need to learn every single day.So misconception is so I need to teach
every subject every day. No,you definitely don't and you shouldn't be,
because you're going to overwhelm yourself,frustrate your child, and then it's gonna

(31:48):
you're going to burn out and beuninterested very quick. You're not publicool either.
Yeah, I hear that a lot. I mean, you know,
these these let's say they have fortyfive minute, half an hour, forty
five minute classes at school in apublic school and the brick building, and
they're they're not diving deep enough intothe content. They're just kind of scratching
the surface every day and they can'treally go down that road to learn one

(32:12):
thing really well. But but yeah, and I've also heard from parents say,
hey, yeah, you know intwo or three hours, you can
do pretty much the same thing thatwould be accomplished in school, if not
better in seven or eight hours.Is that sort of what you're funny too.
Yeah, here's the mindset piece again. There's so much mindset work to
do that I do with clients,families, every single person in the family

(32:34):
on this topic. So when yougo to public school, you drop your
child up at public school, howmuch one on one at attention are they
getting in that day that eight tothree times probably ten minutes if they're lucky
that day, maybe if they've donesomething wrong right right, right exactly,
or if they're in and even ifthey're in a childcare setting, if they're

(32:55):
like they're diapers exploded, like thehands on one on one on three,
one on two, that ratio,that smaller ratio doesn't happens, so they
don't get that attention. So arethey So they're you know, the learning
that you're doing is much more richand robust and engaging, and the child

(33:15):
doesn't have to constantly be bidding forattention. But then again, when it
comes to when it comes to thetime that they're they are, it's because
of the fillers that is needed whenyou are managing fifteen children in a school
that's managing six to seven to twelvedifferent classrooms of fifteen children. That is

(33:37):
all sort of structural routine just sothat they can get through the day safely
with fifteen children. That's why ittakes so long to have a school day.
And also if a childcare set upfor parents, it has nothing to
do with that. It takes eighthours for them to learn the things that
they say that they're trying to accomplish. Yeah, well, yeah, it's

(34:00):
it's kind of like a it's ait's a big daycare for kids from ages
from you know, five to eighteen. I mean that's the work day,
right, it's for the work day. It's to tell that it was I
mean, why did the one schoolschoolhouse school? Right? Why did the
mom leave the home? It goesback to a lot of the things.
Like you said, there is ahistory to the public school and its structure,

(34:23):
Yeah, no doubt. What aboutso you mentioned you touched on a
little bit about you know, Isee now today the state of Maine,
the Department Education claims now that onein three K through twelve students in Maine
are part of the LGBTQ cult.You know, that's how that's how crazy
things have gone. And I thinkthat in you know, from you mentioned

(34:45):
attention, like I think these kidsare getting so much attention for coming out
as pan sexual or you know,I want to be a cat today or
whatever. It isn't going on inschool and a lot of the blood of
parents ask about what about the socialinteractions for homeschool students? And I'm kind
of saying right now, the schoolsare like the worst possible place to put

(35:07):
a kid if you're looking for socialinteractions, so what is there? Yeah,
yeah, what's what's the answer onthat? Because again, I know
that's a very popular question, like, hey, my kid isn't going to
have any social interactions. If youare looking to homeschool, if you are
standing in your house every day withthe values that that does make you desire
to homeschool. Whether it's whether it'sthe the woke agendas within the schools,

(35:30):
whether it's the mask three years agothat they could talk to come back any
day, whether it's the medical mandate. If you have that in your heart
and that that means that you're canyou rephrase the question so that I make
sure that I'm trying the stack correct. I think it's it's more about so
you know when I when I wasin school, and I think back I
graduated nineteen eighty nine from Hampton Academy. You know, I think a lot

(35:53):
about interactions in in my middle schoolyears. You know, a lot of
juvenile kind of stuff going on highschool, you know, kind of working
through the whole issues of obviously mymaturity and my testosterone levels, right,
and so so you know, whenI think about dating or proms or sports
or music, or you know,other things that could be some type of

(36:15):
social teamwork or interactions. How tohomeschool parents and kids get that by not
being part of a two hundred personstudent body. Okay, Okay, so
you're you're going. So when you'rehomeschooling, if there was like sort of
a spectrum in terms of get supersocialized and quote unquote and not get socialized

(36:36):
just because you stay at home andyou're isolated or you're in school with,
like you said, hundreds of kidsthat you barely get to really socialize with
and talk to. That is ahuge spectrum. And if you can choose
to stay home and completely be isolated, or you can choose to leave your
house every single day and not everuse a worksheet with your child and actually

(36:58):
work on that socialization thing that's sucha priority to you. But when you
really look at what your values areand the reason why you want to homeschool,
it's because you don't want them socializingin those networks and pockets of society
that we're talking that you're talking aboutthese sets schools of anybody and everybody.
And when I think of myself andmy children, my child standing up and

(37:19):
going actually, I know I didn't. I didn't. My mom and my
dad are I didn't take the vaccine, and everybody else like like against that.
That's not the places you want yourchildren anyway, whether whatever it is
that you're so frustrated with public schooland you don't want your child there.
You don't want your child there forthat reasons, and so you're going to

(37:43):
create a different social circles you have. It is up to you. You
do need to come out of yourown bubble. Your child can't drive themselves.
If that is something that's driving you, you're gonna make it happen.
Just like you want when you wantsomething or you need something for your family,
you're gonna get it. You're gonnago do it. And that's the
same thing I feel like when itcomes to homeschooling and the problems such as

(38:04):
this sort of mythical problem that isn'treally true because homeschooling children are so much
more socialized. They are able togo out and do things in society that
we all do as adults instead ofsitting in just I don't know, folly
in mine. Well, that's that'sthe kind of the The interesting piece is
that you know, we I thinkback and one of the things I think

(38:25):
I saw a meme somewhere where youknow, it used to be at the
homeschool kids were kind of the weirdkids, and now the homeschool kids are
actually the most proficient kids and theleaders, and you know, they're taking
on, you know, much morestrategic and tactical roles in America when a
lot of those things are a lotof these kids. I mean, when
you look at look at what's importantright now in the main school. So

(38:47):
the the Attorney General's Office is sponsoringcritical race well it's it's civil rights teams,
but it's really critical. I gotto sign up and I was like,
I'm sorry, you're not going tobe able to go to that.
I saw for everything, but that'snot what you're going to be doing,
right. So that's one that they'repushing. They've got the gay sexuality alliances,
which is one of the lawsuits thatHerman has against me. I outed

(39:08):
a teacher for their gay sexuality alliance, which was just I mean, it
was a you could send your kidto soccer band chorus or talk sex with
a forty year old teacher after schooland no parent knew about it, you
know, and that's the kind ofthe crazy thing that's going on. And
I look back, my daughters arenow almost twenty one, but you know,
their senior year at really they didn'thave a prom because those crazy people

(39:31):
withheld a lot of the I don'tknow those time frames that you know that
we all grew up with. Promwas a big deal back in the day,
right, they didn't get one.So I think you've nailed it.
I mean, you create the socialinteractions and have the ability to challenge your
child and you know, get outin the real world and actually have conversations
with the real people. Think aboutit for us when you're what we don't

(39:53):
want is we definitely don't want ourchildren to relive our lives, right as
for like, really we want themto learn from what we've learned from.
So I know, growing up throughmy twenties and again going to colleges and
being indoctrinated, and I mean,I thought there was going to be a
war on water in twenty twenty andI could if you would have met me

(40:13):
in twenty twenty twelve when I wasdoing a presentation on that or a presentation
on depopulation, you know, II was definitely indoctrinated. Well, if
you are a parent who wants toget your child out of that, or
if you're you're an adult who wantsto get your asself out of a situation,
how long are you going to stayuncomfortable? Not very long? Well,

(40:36):
you say, well, right now, Yeah, you say that,
I think I think parents are stillWell, if you right there, you
are. If you're not, Iguess you're right because there are people who
stay in these systems and like I, for instance, don't. I don't
as a conservative, and I justfelt so, I just didn't feel welcomed
in a lot of places, incorporate settings, in different classroom settings,

(40:58):
in conversations because now we're the oneswho are offercized. But right, you
have to stand up and say,I don't think so, and what I
believe is true is true to me, is true? Yeah, no doubt.
I think a lot of these parents, yeah, these like these parents
have to get over the fact thatthey might be called names by a bunch
of crazy leftists and really understand that, you know, what's the reason we're

(41:20):
on this earth? Well, Iright, exactly, A little blip in
the radar when it comes to whatit takes to get, you know,
to an ideal life for you andyour children in the world that we live
in today, no doubt. So. One of the things you mentioned in
a little bit and as we're talkingabout this is is how travel can be
introduced into the curriculum. And youknow, my thoughts are, if I

(41:42):
was a homeschool parent, I wouldprobably buy an RV and take the Great
American road trip and incorporate real geographyin person. Like I don't know,
if somebody pointed to I don't know, pick a state, you know,
Indiana on a map, I'd belike, I think it's around here.
I'm not a Hummerson. Sure,you know, I can't remember it from
a map, but I remember it, you know, being there and driving

(42:04):
through certain states. But have folkskind of worked out curriculum where they just
say, hey, look we're goingto take along road trip and just go
see America. Well, that's calledtravel schooling or world schooling. There's certainly
homeschooling families who do that and doonly that, and it's actually, really
that's really beautiful to me. Thereare so many ways that you can say

(42:29):
I'm going to do it like this, I'm going to do it like that
you have the liberty and homes inyour home school. Once you open it.
Let's I'm saying, once you openit, once you decide, once
you send that letter of intent,then from there it's all up to you.
You're the superintendent, you're the principal, you're a teacher, you're the
you're the executive decision maker. Andso isn't your learner who's sitting in that

(42:50):
seat. So if they are interestedin such things like traveling something, I'd
say, you know, and ifyou're you're not ready to travel, even
if you're not there yet, youan oculus and help them get through,
get to learn different places in theworld through the oculus. There's so many
tools that are right here at artistlosalin twenty and twenty three that it's it
is an excuse. If you aresaying that, oh, you can't do

(43:14):
this, I can't learn that,I can't teach that. So what is
what is an oculus? For me? Being an oculus is that? So
I didn't even have one either,my brother does. It's one of those
it's like the virtual reality like headsetthing. And I've heard of homeschool families
using that to you know, enrichtheir child's learning when it comes to travel

(43:34):
when they're because they can't travel,So okay, you know if you can't
travel the other way? Yeah,Okay, that wasn't that? Yeah,
isn't that? I mean it soundstimes of like AI and all this stuff.
It's like you don't want to doubleist, but but to not is saying
I'm not going to use this toolto educate myself, right, help a
child get this experience? Yeah,it's an experience. Some of the things

(43:57):
that you know, again, parentsand again I hear this a lot,
is that they still feel like becausethey haven't been involved, because they haven't
taken tours, because they haven't beenlistening to folks like you and I,
that they still think that the schoolsare like when they graduated twenty thirty forty
years ago. And you know acouple of things, I mean, penn
or Making, the commissioner of theMain Department Education, the Main School Management
Association, the MBA Teachers Union,Governor Janet Mills. They're failing an entire

(44:22):
generation of Maine students right now,and they have been for several decades.
Like this didn't just happen three yearsago. I think they dialed the thing
up to eleven three years ago,and really you know, poured on the
indoctrination. But you know, notime in our history of our tax dollars
going into K through twelve main publicschool has been higher at three billion dollars

(44:42):
with a B, right, Ithink it's like one third of the mains
complete, you know, budget structure. And at no time in our history
have academic rating has been lower.Only one in three students in Maine can
read it proficiency, that's across Kthrough twelve, and only one in four
students in Maine can do math atproficiency. So I say to folks like,
hey, parent, do you thinkyou could be the you know,

(45:04):
three out of four parents who canteach your kid how to do math?
Because those odds are in your favor, right, And then other stats like
if your kid can't read proficiently atfourth and fourth grade from other podcasts I've
done, you know they have aseventy percent greater chance to go to jail,
like and that you know, youmight not Maine might not exactly be
that whole you know, same dynamic, but it means that you know they

(45:27):
need to be corrected before they godown this bad path. So I mentioned
Maine de part education surveys now claimthat one in three main students are part
of the LGBTQ cult. And youknow, again, we've documented main schools
pushing critical race theory in kindergarten,pushing the hyper sexualization of miners five year
olds in kindergarten. I just don'tThat's why it's important that you must not

(45:49):
Like, that's why you can't waittill fifth grade, fourth grade, when
it was when it was just pubertylesson, because now, and I can
tell you from experience just six monthsago, now the pubs that they're giving
in fifth grade, and like you'resaying, it's happening in kindergarten. So
home school your children before like juststarting out, because kindergarten. You definitely
can teach your child at kindergarten,and you can get yourself accustomed to and

(46:12):
acclimated to homeschool life and really startto build up your confidence. And into
the years that you feel maybe you'reyou might not be able to do it,
you might find that support, youmight find that community, you might
find a co op. You You'renot going to find all those things by
waiting until you are so fed upwith all this. I just think that
your kid, your kid might beprepared now, yeah, your kid might

(46:34):
have Stockholm syndrome and have been gaslightedevery day for you know, three or
four or five years in the schoolsystem, and now you're going to have
to deprogra gram them to be justa normal kid again, you know.
I mean, yeah, that's yourparents are rolling their dice every day.
Hope and even it comes back aliveat this point, right And even like
you said, even if you don'tyou know, you skip certain things,

(46:59):
like you skip the puberty class,well, they're still going to come home
with the aluminum deodorant and then thealuminum you know, you're still your values
are still just being undermind. Thisis that's my story undermined. And just
are you kidding me? I nowhave to have a conversation about aluminum and
how I don't want my child tohave cancer and so on and go forth,
instead of me being able to goget the deodorant. That's not anti

(47:22):
person, it's just it's so invasive. Sexual comprehensive sexual education CS is proliferating
these schools at age five, andagain, you know, not to get
too black helicopter theory. But youknow, the entire process planned parenthood is,
you know, pushing these kids intosex. That's their business, and

(47:43):
that has become part of this LGBTQcult thing. So the other thing that
you know, I tell folks isthe increases in student anxiety, depression,
and thoughts of suicide in the mainschool system or off the charts. We've
never seen this in our in ournation, in our state main past chapter
one seventeen, which now provides schoolcounselors and social workers the ability to keep
secrets from parents and can now sexuallytransition your child without you knowing. And

(48:07):
that actual case happened in Aos ninetythree Great Salt Bay Middle School and damer
Scotta, Maine, a town oftwenty five hundred, you know, a
quaint little town on the coast,with a parent that I know very well,
who's thirteen year old daughter was givena male name, male pronouns,
and a chess binder from a socialworker and told her to keep it a
secret from her parents. Maine becamejust one of the only states in the

(48:29):
nation to allow sixteen year olds accessto chemical castration drugs without parental permission,
and there's still a bill LD seventeenthirty five, which is waiting in committee
still for next session that has noage restrictions on child's self identifying their supposed
gender and speaking and basically going tothe next step of sexual mutilation. This

(48:50):
is all stuff happening in the schools, you know. And so when I
tell parents again, you know,you're rolling the dice every day and you're
hoping you don't crap out while theodds are stacked against you, you know,
And it's just it's I mean,and I definitely think that there's more
that they're hiding. You know,there's more. I don't have an ounce
of trust when it comes to Okay, we're going to have a flu shot

(49:14):
clinic this week, like okay,well or that day, my child's not
going because, like you just said, if the counselors have this and and
it's just this sort of overacting permission, and who else has that overarching permission
over what? And like I don'tknow if you are aware of the community
schools that I'm not perfectly versed onthis, but like I know the Biden

(49:38):
administration has been pushing for these communityschools, and there's one that is being
set right up here locally and openingup the middle school. I think it's
south Portland Middle School is a interestingthe new is the newest is a community
school, and the premise of thoseschools is to have everything so wrapped into

(50:00):
one so you can get your youcan have your dentists appointments at school,
you can have your medical appointments atschool, you can have your counselor at
school. You can have like allthese things. And so what do you
if they can get chess finders andthings like that without a parents permission,
everything else is just mining itself upwith these sort of structures too. Again,
just push the parent away, yeah, and let the child make the

(50:22):
decisions on their own. And anythingthe government runs, right, yeah,
everything, everything the government runs turnsto crap. Right. So, so
if you if you think that givingyour child more more options or more inclusion
to some of this governmental stuff iscrazy. Now, that's kind of a
lot of maybe negative stuff that wetalked about. I looked in your testimonials

(50:42):
page and I want to, youknow, I want to turn this and
I want to read a couple thatgrab my attention, and I just I
really thought these were cool so here'sa here's a testimonial. Having Maria to
help guide me through this new chapterin life has been a huge help.
I knew nothing about homeschooling other thanresearching and talking to other home schooling parents.
Not knowing if I was keeping trackof what we did for schooling was

(51:04):
one of my biggest fears. Mariareassured us that we were going in the
right direction. I mean, that'sthat's incredible. And you talked a little
bit about I think on the website, you know, sort of the confidence
of having a checklist or sort ofa program and a planning to know that
you're on the right steps. Somaybe talk a little bit about what you
offer there to help homeschoolers know theyare progressing properly with these kids. Yeah,

(51:30):
it's definitely. It definitely feels goodwhen you A lot of people are
checklist people, and so that's oneway we can do it, and the
other ways like having a person suchas myself to lean into and ask your
questions too, and just get youranswers versus searching and wondering. And it's
really nice to lean into an educator, and that's what people are searching for

(51:52):
a lot of the time. Soone of the things that I have created
is a signature methodology basically that bringsmy families that I work with because it's
not just the learner and it's notjust the parent, it's both of them
that I work with from basically frustratedand overwhelmed and not feeling connected or engaged

(52:16):
to feeling relief and empowered and thejoy and freedom that we've been talking about.
And the methodology that I use iscalled the Blueprint method It's a foundation
for your homeschool. And what wewalk through in these sessions, these strategy
sessions, is we walk through thingslike your values, your learners, learning

(52:37):
styles, your teaching approach. It'severything up to even like your love languages
and how you guys are living amongstyou because you're because it's like you're living
with you know, when you livewith roommates, you have it's like families
are the same thing. Each havea dynamic in your love language is matter
what goes your cup, what yourinterests are, what your standards are going

(52:59):
to be for your homeschool, andhow that's and the mindset work that goes
from like peeling away the public schoolstandards are great, Okay, but they
don't need to be yours, andthey shouldn't be because you actually have your
own standards and values and foundation thatwe need to build, not copying public
school. You left it for areason. And so those sort of things

(53:20):
are what we work through in thefirst session and getting to know each other.
And then the second session that Iwork with families, it's really when
I'm bringing now, I'm bringing materialsand the things that I suggested, and
we're working towards empowering you and yourlearner to take charge and follow your interest

(53:44):
and d school a little bit likejust let go of school and live and
realize and observe how much education andhow many opportunities to teach and learn are
writing your regular days. And thenwe really get into applying all of it
and executing the goals and the learningintentions that you set with your daughter.

(54:09):
To me, like what I wouldcall that is emotional emotional intelligence or emotional
you know education basis and those selfdiscovery Yeah, yeah, exactly, it
would go through emotional intelligence and withyour self discovery process. Here's another here's
another really good testimony. Maria hasbeen a life saver and a life changer
for our family. When we madethe decision at homeschool our kids, we

(54:30):
knew the biggest challenge would be stayingorganized and the obvious Okay, now,
what the hell do we do?Maria has made our homeschooling simple and painless
for our family and equally important,extremely successful and productive. Our kids have
learned more from home in the pastfew months than they have in the past
two years in the school system.No hate on the school system, it's
just a truth. Homeschool, especiallyin a political environment, is the only

(54:54):
way for us, and Maria hasmade it possible for us. Hugely thankful.
So, I mean, that's thatkind of is interesting. I've got
kind of a similar story. Theschool resource officer in Cumberland, Maine,
where I used to live I livedfor twenty two years, who had to
stand through many, many hours ofMSAD fifty one school board meetings to essentially

(55:15):
protect me from the socialists and Marxistschool board members on the stage, actually
quit his job as a police officershortly after the story of exposing CRT being
taught went national and then global.And I wouldn't say he quit because of
everything that I exposed, but probablymore he was able to see the hypocrisy
through his own eyes of being inall these school board meetings and just seeing

(55:36):
the nonsense it was going on.And then he pulled his son out of
the Grily school system, his youngson and his son. He had text
me back to a while back andsaid his son stayed in a few weeks
with his dad. A former teacherhimself, he had learned more in the
last couple weeks than in the lastcouple of years in MSAD fifty one,
which is allegedly one of the bestsystems in the state. Profound what you

(55:59):
can do when you take the timeto do it, and when you allow
yourself to like set aside everything thateverybody else is saying and just listen to
what you and I are saying,and then and then go, oh,
really, I don't need to doeverything every day. Oh my goodness,
my my student could just like goto the library once a month and that

(56:22):
could that could check that mark forthat box. Okay, it's just it's
really just looking into it and ifyou and then and then aligning your life,
because this is one of the biggeruses to sean, well, I
work, I can't afford it Ithere's so much that it really just boils
down to your lifestyle is not preparedfor it. So you need to really

(56:45):
start preparing for It's not something youcan just do like you go buy something,
but you have to is your mindare you really wanting this? If
you really are wanting this, justlike when you want or need anything else
for your family, whether it's anair fire or a new rack to put
your kids clothes on, or acar because you need it. When it
comes to your values in their child'sliteral upbringing, in their what their mindset,

(57:09):
and what they're gonna their trajectory.Likely if you're very if you are
convicted, you're going to do thesacrifices. You're going to make the changes,
and then one day you're gonna pullthe trigger and you're going to be
homeschooling. Yeah, no doubt doit without you know, and kind of
using a sean ism, you're doyou want to be a half fast parent
or do you want to be areal parent? Right? Do you want

(57:30):
to raise your children or did youhave children so that the public school can
raise them? Because they are soI mean, it's just what it is.
They are. It's no doubt andI and I appreciate your time.
I know I've taken up quite abit of your time here, but tell
the listeners where they can find yourwork again, you know, what what
websites and what what social media shouldthey go to to follow what you've got

(57:51):
going on. Let's see, Ihave the homeschool admin dot com where you
can find all the things that I'vebeen doing, some more testimonials, little
bit more about me. You cancheck me out on Instagram, on Facebook
at the homeschool Admin. And Ialso have a Facebook group on Freedom Network
our community and basically it's a communityof plin schooling people who love and stand

(58:15):
for their freedom and or would behomeschoolers. But freedom is our you know,
our number one value and what bringsus together there that family, of
course, but that's that's a placewhere you can find some community if that's
something and you're searching for well,and I'm hoping that we can we can
put some people towards your complementary claritycall half hour free consultation that you do

(58:37):
and you do offer some kickstart workshopswhich is really about trying to calm the
anxiety of some of the concerns ofparents, and again showing and talking about
some of the things we've talked abouttoday. It's not as hard as we've
been made to believe. And youknow, looking at some of your content
bundles, I find them very inexpensive, you know, planning guides and starter
guides and worksheets. And then you'vegot a homeschool homeschooling one on one webinar,

(59:00):
a free webinar coming up on Augustnineteenth at six pm Eastern time,
So give the listeners a little previewof that content. Okay, So from
confused the Confidence is a homeschooling oneon one webinar which is going to give
you the parent, the tools tostart homeschooling and also some b schooling coaching.

(59:22):
You're going to learn about the lawsand what you need to do to
basically, like I said, alignyour life to be able to provide a
homeschooling environment for your children. Andthen also you have the opportunity to ask
me your questions and get some answers. And if I can't answer you right

(59:42):
then I will go away and findyou the answer and get back to you.
And again there's no risk when itcomes to taking getting onto this webinar.
It's free and you don't have tohomeschool right away afterwards, But if
you are looking to homeschool even inthe future, this information is going to
be valued valuable to you. Anda lot of this stuff though you're learning

(01:00:04):
right now, will eventually become secondnature to you. But it takes about
seven times for us of being exposedto information to really learn it. So
starting now would be great for thosepeople who have fathers who have infants and
are going to be homeschooling two years, because right now I'm offering this for
free, but in the future,I just I've been in business for two

(01:00:25):
years now and I'm a mom myself, and so it's going to these things
that will be charged for eventually,Yeah, no doubt. And I think
hopefully some parents, you know,maybe that are on the fence. I
mean, we've many parents right now, They've got a couple three weeks until
the fall semester starts for school,so it's really you know, it's pretty
vital to have this conversation here inthe month of August, and I had

(01:00:45):
a homeschool mom here in RSU twentytwo in the district where I live she
told me. You know, tellparents just to jump out of the airplane
without a parachute and somebody will catchyou before you hit the ground. And
you know, Maria, you're thatperson, right, I mean, you're
you're the person catching them before theparent hits the ground. And I'm so
happy we've made the connection and I'mproud of your work, and I really

(01:01:06):
want to send some parents your way, and you know, whether or not
they go through you or go throughanother process to at least consider, you
know, sitting down talking to yourspouse or your partner, whoever it is,
and talking to your family about youknow, this is a real viable
option. And uh, you know, I wish all of the parental partners
out there are the best of luck. But again, you know, as

(01:01:28):
I say, often you get apolice kids out of these public k through
twelve indoctrination centers before the school takesyour kid from you. And so a
clarity call, you can bring yourfamily with you and we can have the
conversation together. I'd love to beanybody's parachute so that they don't need to
worry about you know, don't evenworry about calling me while you're on your
way down right, exactly, yeah, right before you jump out. But

(01:01:49):
and you know, at some point, you know, right now, the
way that Main's political spectrum is,at some point we need to talk about
educational freedom or school choice. That'snever going to happen the way we're currently
set up politically here in Augusta.But you know that would be really the
financial incentive to get the taxpayer dollarsfrom your property taxes to follow your child,

(01:02:10):
regardless if you homeschool or you sendthem to a Christian school or you
send them to public school. That'sreally ultimately where we need to get in
this state, and we're a longways from it. But I think the
more parents who start to take thisinvestigative step towards homeschooling, the better.
Yes, that's definitely a great thingto point out, and i'd say even
there needs to be a conversation onit neither. Some more look into it

(01:02:31):
that we're not erode in our roomseven more at home schoolers by asking for
even though yes we want our taxdollars to follow us, we definitely don't
want them chiseling away at our rightseven more. Yeah, exactly, Well,
thank you very much for your timeand I'm going to put you on
hold here and we'll talk a littlebit off the air. But I do
appreciate you, know everything, AndI again hope, hope your phone gets

(01:02:53):
a lit up here in the nextweek or two. Thank you, all
right, hold on a second,thank you. My voice is shot again
from I think it's now three weekssince I went to Turning Point, USA,
and I got a little sick afterwards. But I can find myself.
I can speak for twenty five minutes, a half an hour, and then
my voice starts to get a littleshot, so hopefully towards the end of
that it was okay. But aswe as we really wrap up from my

(01:03:16):
thoughts, I tell parents a lot. You know, what is the reason
for your existence on this earth?And I believe our reason is to continue
our species, to continue our sortof generational duty as parents, to make
sure that your children have a betterlife than what we had as kids and

(01:03:36):
as young adults and adults. Andright now we're not holding up our end
of the bargain. Generation X,my generation. We've blown it, folks,
Okay, just to be point blankand to be frank, we've we've
blown it. We have a lotof catching up to do, and a
lot more parents, and you juststart stepping up, and I think again,
putting pressure on those schools, takingyour kids out of the school it

(01:03:59):
does take away these state and federalfunding. Schools are now funded fifty five
percent by the state and federal fundingif I remember right, and forty five
percent from your own personal property taxes, and in many cases those property taxes
are more than fifty percent of yourtaxes, and in some cases, like
North Yarmouth, Maine, it's eightyfive percent of your taxes are going to
schools, woke schools like MSAD fiftyone in Cumberland, Maine. So as

(01:04:24):
parents, you need to start puttingpressure on the schools. You need to
start getting involved. But to me, these schools are right now, irreparably
broken, and the only way tofix it is to pull your kid out
and get them corrected, get themback on plan, get them back on
the educational train, because these schoolsaren't doing it anymore. Folks. Again,

(01:04:45):
as I mentioned, worst educational assessmentin our state's history. You know,
I mean, how much how muchmore incentive do you need as a
parent, So anyway, I appreciateit This is one of the most important
podcasts that I've done. I reallyhope that some of things that we talked
about with Maria come through. Pleasemake sure you go and check out the
homeschool admin dot com, her website, follow her on Instagram. She's doing

(01:05:10):
some great stuff and again I'm veryproud to have met her and and had
this conversation. We try to makethis podcast work for a while, and
this is the right time August.Listen. You know you've got a few
weeks parents to make a decision toget your kid out of these schools before
the end of August started September whenthe new school year starts. So keep
on trucking. Please share this,like the podcast, tell your friends about

(01:05:32):
