Political Narratives and Robocops In Public Schools | Peter Heck At The Babylon Bee
School teacher and preacher Peter Heck visits the guys at The Babylon Bee to talk about having a mancrush on George Washington, women loving men who are frugal, and the state of the nation's public schools. They talk about putting robocops into schools and the political agendas like Critical Race Theory that are at work in the nation's curriculum. Peter Heck answers some questions from the social media platform on NotTheBee and maybe even gets into voter fraud theories!

You have some sort of OnlyFans style thing where people can pay for extra content.
What's that?
It's tasteful.
It's a sub stack is what it is.
It's because George Washington, I mean, the kids at school tell me I got a man crush on him.
And I do to a certain extent.
I'm not a big bread guy.
So I just bring the turkey in a bag and an activity.
Activity to stay regular.
In that case, the backup question, what's the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you, or have you peed your pants in public?
Oh, this is very unfortunate that this was the backup question.
Well, what the heck, man?
That's...
I have never in my 43 years.
Yeah, well, that had nothing to do with your last video.
Goodbye, man.
That was just my favorite.
That's good.
That's how I start with all the guests.
I don't know why.
You just lay off me, man.
Right, so I'm very sorry.
It's hard to be an interviewer.
It's starting well.
This is not going well.
Nope.
Thanks for having me.
Yeah, thanks for coming.
Yeah, thanks for being here.
It's great.
We had originally planned to do this in April.
Yeah.
And then you decided to leave.
I bailed out.
I think it was shortly.
I think you guys had like a meeting to discuss getting paid from Twitter.
We were in Florida.
Yeah.
Because it happened right after that.
Yeah, we had penciled on our calendar.
Florida?
Yeah.
And then it was like Florida exclamation mark.
Yes.
Yeah, that was good.
And then we said, oh, shoot, we need to.
Well, it worked out well.
It's great.
It's tweeter out the fuck out of here.
Don't worry.
Elon Musk is going to buy Twitter and free us any day now.
It's going to happen any day.
Any day.
And then every day that Elon Musk tweets, I'm like, oh, no.
Yeah.
Actually, there's too many bots now.
And I'm like, no.
I don't like those when I read those stories.
I'm like, please free us.
Right.
I think Joel just tweeted that meme with the skeleton waiting to get out.
Because I think you pitched it.
Did you pitch that headlines?
I picked that as a headline.
Yeah, but it works as a picture.
A legitimate question, though.
Because you have all of the people that tweet your stuff anyway.
Have you seen a marked decrease or anything like that?
The thing is, they're all bots.
Yeah, they're all spam bots.
Just literally.
I'm not sure if I'm all of our fans.
That's what Elon has revealed.
95%.
Okay.
Twitter is all bots.
Yes.
So a lot of bots are reading the Babylon B, which is nice.
It's nice.
People do still retweet our stuff.
Well, they post it and tweet it themselves.
Right.
And we saw an immediate kind of gain in followers after the controversy about getting suspicioned, but it's going to hurt us in the long run because so much of our traffic came from posting articles on our own Twitter.
I have a running search on Twitter that just shows anytime someone posts a B article to Twitter, not sharing from our account, but just pasting the link in their own account.
And it hasn't gone down at all.
It's pretty much the same level of that traffic, but you still lose access to the one and a half million.
But this isn't about us.
No, but it's, I was curious.
I thought I would turn the interview around.
I do have other questions too, if you'd like to.
I'm kidding.
Next question.
Next question, please.
I'm ready for it.
Are you active on Twitter?
Do you get into the get into it on there?
It's just my schedule is such that I don't as much as I probably should.
I know it's a great idea.
Yeah, you really should.
Getting into fights on Twitter is what everyone should do more.
Well, it's not so much the getting into fights, but it's like I know it's a great avenue to reach people and you can expand a profile in that.
But I just don't.
There's also the element too where I'm a high school teacher and so I try to have two different realms of my life.
And so sometimes the thought of getting into arguments online with students or former students doesn't really thrill me.
So that's another reason that I've just kind of not engaged that avenue that much.
Now, are you a public school teacher?
Yeah.
Been there.
My first year was when 9-11 happened.
So that was, I'd been in the classroom like less than a month, and the teacher next door comes and knocks on the door, and he had an odd approach to everything, just kind of stood there.
Well, have you heard?
I said, no.
Check your computer.
Well, this was back when the internet loaded super slow.
So I log on to MSNBC or whatever, and it slowly starts to reveal the tower with the plane exploding.
And so, I mean, they don't prepare you for that kind of stuff in teacher training.
So that was my first year.
So I've been there, what, 20, 21 years now?
But it's good.
Yeah, public school.
It's good.
Yeah.
So, and you're willing to come on the Babylon Bee podcast.
And you do your Heckfire podcast and all the not-to-be commentary and stuff.
Yeah.
So how does that?
I mean, do you ever get any blowback or anything?
What's weird is I feel like we have pretty good relationships there at the school.
I do with the staff and with the students.
And I think fostering those relationships, people know what I do.
And I'm sure there are certainly those that don't agree with everything.
But it's never, to my knowledge, affected our, what's the word, collegiality, collegiality, or whatever.
And with students, we just don't.
We don't discuss that kind of stuff.
But no, I've never had an issue.
Now, the school has taken in emails from folks.
What's interesting is the complaints that come in are people who are not in our school district, that are outside, that how can you let this guy teach in the school that have no knowledge.
And it's kind of one of those things that I think of, I think it was Peter that said, live such good lives among the pagans.
They'll accuse you of wrongdoing, but they'll see your good deeds.
And that's kind of what I want.
I'm okay if people are going to accuse, oh, this guy's a bigot.
He's a hater.
Look at who he writes for and the stuff that he believes.
But then the people in the local community who would have to take that to heart sit there and say, what are you talking about?
This guy announces my son's basketball games.
And so I want those kind of good relationships.
And you don't announce the basketball games from a right-wing perspective.
Well, there are times.
No, actually.
Amazingly enough, that's never really entered into the equation.
But yeah, just try to be involved there.
And it's so far, we have a very supportive school board.
And I'm thankful for that.
I was trying to think of a good basketball political commentary joke, but I don't know enough about basketball.
I mean, I do football also.
I announce the football games.
I don't know enough about that either.
Please don't tell me so.
Do you announce video games?
I could do it.
I don't announce that video games.
I was afraid you were going to say soccer.
I just struggle with soccer.
My kids play soccer, and I struggle with that.
That's sad.
It is sad.
It doesn't seem American.
So who groomed your children to be soccer players?
That would be my wife.
Oh, sad.
Yeah, it's a point of tension in our marriage, but we battle through it like everybody does.
I appreciate that.
I appreciate that.
I just don't understand the point of it.
It's just me.
Well, cool.
Yeah.
Good time.
Yeah.
So you came out here from Indiana, correct?
You're in California.
Is this your first time in California?
You've been here?
No, when I was in college, well, I guess it was right out of college.
My college roommate and I, we weren't attached.
We didn't have girlfriends or anything like that.
And so every spring break, we'd take a different trip.
And so one year we said, all right, boom, he wasn't a teacher, but he could get a week off.
We're going to drive out to California, touch the Pacific Ocean, and drive back.
So it's like 44 hours in a vehicle.
I'd never do that again.
But it wasn't that.
Does that again?
No.
I'm not interested in it.
So much fun.
Maybe not the guy you went with.
No, he's not a good person.
But anyway, so no, we drove out there and literally was in the, you know, he's not at all, but we did stay in some places that I look back on now.
I mean, like the travel lodge that sits right there on the edge of the interstate.
You know, it's like what they make the horror movies from.
But anyway, so we drove.
I was in one of those in San Francisco on my honeymoon.
A travel lodge on the five.
And I had poor planning, and so we got kicked out of our nice hotel and had to go to a crappy hotel.
Oh, yeah.
My wife never lets me forget that.
I really, really need you to make sure you're enunciating it because Jenny's in the other room.
And our wedding night, it was not.
I butchered that.
I picked the smoker room over the jacuzzi room.
You butchered what?
I butchered the.
What are we getting at?
Okay, no, not that.
I don't know.
So we were driving because I was scared of flying at the time.
I was just freaked out by flying.
And so she agreed to drive to Florida.
And everybody said, don't go too far.
Don't drive too far the first night.
Stop.
You'll be tired.
Well, I don't think that is all innuendo.
No, would you stop it?
This is a for real story.
So anyway, long story short, we ended up stopping at Don't.
Don't.
I didn't say anything.
No, you don't have to.
This is the thing.
Like, I teach high school kids.
I thought it's going to be nice to come out and talk to two adults on a podcast.
And this, this is a lot of people.
Have you ever seen the podcast before?
No, apparently I haven't.
I've seen clips.
So anyway, I don't even want to continue this story, but we ended up at a Super 8 motel.
And the guy behind the desk asked me if there is nothing that is innuendo about a Super 8 motor.
I'm just now everything I have to try to think of.
Taking it very seriously, David.
Right.
I appreciate your efforts there.
So anyway, he asked me if I wanted the jacuzzi suite or the, you know, one that was a smoker's room and we're not smokers.
And the price difference was substantial.
And my dad had always taught me a woman appreciates a guy who, you know, knows, who's frugal, who can save money.
And so I picked the smoker and we're only going to be there a few hours because we're going to hit the road the next morning.
And it was not the right choice in hindsight.
So anyway, you said that about the travel lodge, and I know she's listening.
And I know that we're going to talk about this later.
So I thought I'd just put it out there for everybody.
But it was fine.
Everything went fine.
I like that advice, though, from your dad.
You know what women love when you get the cheap hotel room?
Yes.
Yes.
Who can save money?
That's, yeah, there have been a few of those instances, but it's fine.
It's good.
Treasure in Heaven is great, but it's not going to buy you a tank of gas.
So let's take a moment to briefly review the current state of our economy and the global effect the war between Russia and Ukraine has had.
We're in for a tough year here, and Biden's printing and spending could be catastrophic for the U.S. dollar and the market.

This is fine.
Yeah.
So yeah, Jenny came out here with me.
We came from Indiana, and the biggest difference, and I did remember this from our trip out when Sid and I came out and touched the ocean and then drove back home.
The traffic patterns in LA.
You're saying this guy's not a convicted murderer, but his name's Sid, and you say it at the travel lodge on the side of the highway.
That is correct.
Sounds like it.
I mean, to my knowledge, to my knowledge, he has not committed.
Right.
What's his name?
I said Sid.
What's his last name?
I don't want to put his last name.
Well, we'll bleep then.
Sid the Strangler.
That's his last name.
All right, continue.
Where was I?
I was in the middle of something.
Oh, traffic patterns in LA.
Totally different than rural Indiana.
I've really picked up on that.
People are not nearly as polite on the interstates.
Well, and you landed at LAX, so you really, you know, California really puts its best foot forward.
You know, though, I'm going to be serious when I say this, because I have flown into a few different airports, and I was expecting LAX to be dirty and nasty.
And at least where we were, the Delta area, it wasn't that way at all.
Like, it wasn't O'Hare.
O'Hare was...
Oh, okay.
Ugh.
Yeah, LAX is like a circle of hell to me.
I hate it.
LAX usually isn't dirty to me, but it's just backed up and delayed.
Okay.
It's hard to get in traffic.
You're trying to leave.
Yes, I can see that.
Now, but you're right next to this airport.
Is that international?
Does it fly all that big stuff?
We're vaguely within the vicinity of the airport.
Yeah.
And yeah, it's international.
Am I not supposed to say where we are?
He always tries to keep it a secret, and I always try to say the address.
He says the address.
Okay.
Yeah.
They think Edif is going to come get us.
Well, you can't be too safe.
Yeah.
Anyway.
So yeah, it's great to be here.
It's different, but it's good.
So have a bunch of people pulled their students out of your class in order to homeschool over the past couple of years?
You know, Eastern, the school where I teach, it's a rural community.
It's a pretty conservative area.
My thing is, when you get into teaching, it's the curriculum.
It's the curriculum and the textbooks that are written, they don't write different textbooks for central Indiana than they do for Los Angeles or for Chicago.
And so I think that if you have teachers who are committed to teaching and not just, hey, here's a textbook, read this and learn from this, that the problem doesn't have to be as great.
We have had some leave to be homeschooled.
Our particular area, I don't think as much as you've seen an exodus in other places.
Also, you had the COVID situation.
We were probably completely different than what you guys have been out here.
I mean, we closed that first, was it 2020, the second semester of 2020.
But then we were back in school with masks optional by the start of the next year.
So that's been two years of that for us.
So Indiana is just a little bit different than other places.
So we haven't seen that Exodus.
It seems like the slogan for the state should be like Indiana, just a little bit different.
We're not California.
That's it.
But no.
So honestly, we haven't seen a huge, I thought you were going, have people withdrawn since I've started writing for Not the Bee.
I haven't seen kids been withdrawn from my class for that.
But no, it's been good.
But I do think that the public education system is at a crossroads with all of the curriculum things that are happening right now.
It's interesting.
So you said people have found out what your political views are from your blog and from your writing outside of the classroom, but you're not bringing a sort of political agenda into the classroom.
And it seems like that's what's the problem now.
Because I think about when I grew up and when I went to school, I grew up in Pennsylvania.
All through school, elementary school, high school, I could not have told you whether my teachers were Democrats or Republicans.
And now it seems both in the curriculum and with certain teachers in certain states, they're trying to push a certain set of political values on the students.
Yeah, it's interesting and frustrating to me.
One of my best friends from high school, his daughter is there in a different, in a bigger city, a different school system.
He reached out to me.
She's taken AP World History, which is a class that I used to teach, and said she's being bombarded with stuff that's not even in the curriculum.
The teacher's going back, and it was LGBT-related, that the Bible's teaching isn't what it, the text has been changed, has been altered.
And Jeff was saying, This isn't at all what is in the curriculum for this class.
But he also-class, right?
Exactly.
He went on to say that I've said to my daughter, I wish you could have Pete for class and you'd get the other side.
And I told Jenny later, that's not really true because that's not my role.
And I take very seriously that I'm there to try to teach kids how to think, not what to think.
And so present them with materials and they look at it and we discuss it and talk about it.
But as much as I go above and beyond and try my best, I think I've gotten better at that through the years.
I've become more aware of it and part of its maturity and understanding what I'm there to do.
But I see the other side that is not making that similar effort.
And it's a real challenge to not want to say, all right, well, if that's the way we're going to do this, then it is my duty to present the other side.
But I also know that with what I do outside of the classroom, there are those that are waiting to say, boom, see, this is what he does, and he's preaching the stuff.
And I don't want to lose.
I mean, you get a new congregation of kids every year that I know laws limit your ability to say the name of Jesus, but they don't limit your ability to show the love of Jesus and to make that connection with kids.
And, you know, kids that maybe later on will have a crisis in their life and you're somebody that they trust and somebody they rely on.
And they come to you and say, you know, I want to talk.
And that's happened more than a few times.
And I think that's pretty cool.
But you've never gone on TikTok and like filmed yourself teaching your class and revealing your special needs.
No.
No, I am just amazed at some of that.
Like why anyone would think that's a good idea.
I cannot.
Number one, that they're doing it to the class and like coming out to the class or like talking about their sexual preferences.
I don't.
Not two, that they like film it on TikTok and then like broadcast it to thousands of people.
You know, I probably this probably annoys some people, but I look at individuals like that and I wonder what is, and I know what's lacking in their life.
I know what is there that is that gaping hole, but it's a desperation plea.
It's a sense of I have to have a purpose and this is the cause that I'm going to dedicate my life to.
And man, there's just such a better way to live.
There's such a better way.
And I don't know how you reach those folks.
And I know it's easy.
And this is kind of my thing.
I've always, when I was on the radio all those years, I ended up having to get a placard that I put up in front of me because my tendency is to view those people as enemies.
And I know that what they're doing to children is wrong and I want it to stop.
But I also know who my enemy is and I know that they have been taken captive by that enemy.
How do you set those people free from that captivity?
What's the best approach?
And at what point do you say, okay, we can't take kid gloves because these are our children and this isn't acceptable.
It's just, it's such a hard needle to thread.
And people need Jesus.
What's the placard?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I put on the placard.
I'm never going to tell you.
No, the placard, I just had the word captives written on it because I wanted to remind myself that when I'm talking to these people that are out in left field, literally out in left field about, no, it's not literally.
I hate it when people do that.
They're not literally in a left field.
I'm sorry.
But anyway, figuratively, they're in left field.
And I view them as somebody that I need to defeat.
And I wanted to take the approach of, okay, I want to set them free.
The approach I take to somebody I want to defeat is different than the approach that I take towards somebody I want to set free.
And I don't know.
I may be talking nonsense here, but that was what I wanted to remind myself.
Incidentally, that's probably when my radio show became a lot less entertaining.
But in hindsight, maybe that wasn't the greatest career move.
But anyway, so that's that.
You need like an AOC is not your enemy placard that I can pull.
I don't know.
I think she is your enemy.
Yeah.
I think that's okay.
Well, and I'm more serious now.
Obviously, we have these issues going around, discussion about school shootings and the wake of the shooting in Texas.
So, I mean, what's your take?
Are teachers supposed to be armed with bazookas?
Is there a different because I see these and I kind of agree, and we were talking about this before, but I agree that there's a need for security.
You know, obviously there are some security issues, but I don't know if I would want to send my kid to a school where every teacher's package.
Right, no.
There are teachers in the school where I am.
Again, rural Indiana, you got one of the guys that's an instructor for guns.
He's a gun safety instructor.
I don't have any problem if he's going to be armed, but that's not the role of a teacher.
And I don't.
The ones that are screaming about their gender on TikTok, I don't know if I want them to have a weapon.
Yeah, to be honest.
And even I was telling my principal, we were talking about this very thing after the situation in Texas.
And whereas I think I can be responsible with a weapon, kids mess around with your stuff and mess around unless it's on your body.
And even if it is, I mean, good heavens, that's there's potential there for a real disaster to take place.
And I don't know if the benefit outweighs the cost of it.
Now, that said, I continue to sit here and scratch my head as to how many times, and everybody says it after one of these events happens.
Well, we have to get serious about this.
We've got to, we can't just talk about this and then nothing change.
But the things that we talk about changing are things that would not have prevented that incident from taking place.
I just, that we're going to continue to talk about anything short of utter gun confiscation.
And even then, how you would orchestrate a gun confiscation in the United States and think that that isn't going to result in more bloodshed itself is flatly absurd to me.
So why don't we do the things that actually could make an impact, which is, as much as we don't want to, well, I don't want to turn the schools into a fortress, why not?
I mean, that to me is the obvious step that can be taken.
And I don't know if the numbers are accurate.
Ali Beth Stuckey had put the numbers out there, and I trust her.
Somewhere around $150 million since 2018 at the federal level for school security.
But we dropped $40 billion on Ukraine in a day.
And it's not that I'm opposed to any of these things, but priorities, where are we focusing on security, I guess.
You can't get into courtrooms.
You can't get into government facilities, and they're not housing our babies and our children.
So to me, that's where the focus would have to be.
I keep hitting this plant.
Like, I don't know who positioned this plant here, but I'm in the middle of what I think is an important point.
I'm just going to, I'm going to turn the plant.
Well, that didn't help.
Ah, there he is behind that bush.
That's great.
I'm sorry.
You can.
No, it's fine.
Now, on a personal note, my classroom, I've got cardboard cutouts up and around.
So if anybody were to bust into my room, it's going to be one of those.
You're going to have to try to figure out where I am.
So we've got all kinds of.
They're actually, the kids made one of me.
Jenny took a picture of me one day.
It was the weirdest thing in the world.
I'm walking out into the driveway and she says, stand still.
And she snaps a picture.
What is that?
Well, I came to find out the kids had coordinated with her.
So I got this cardboard cutout of myself.
But no, we've got all kinds of presidents in there, and Jackie Kennedy's in there.
We got Justin Bieber.
We got a Bieber.
Wait, Dana Kapatrick, the race car driver.
We got one of hers.
Where are we going with this?
You think people are going to shoot at the cards?
I think that they're going to be disoriented when they come in.
No, when they come into a classroom.
Oh, there's so many celebrities in this.
Right.
You don't want to open fire.
What about RoboCop?
Should we have a RoboCop program for schools?
I don't know if it's on my list.
Somebody wrote it as a.
A robotic police officer with futuristic weapons.
So it's a guy who is in a war or something and he almost gets killed.
No one's familiar with the plot of RoboCop.
No, it's just that, but in a school.
Okay.
Yeah, I don't know that that's.
What about a cardboard cutout of RoboCop?
To me, that's a great diversion.
Yeah.
I don't think it's a bad idea.
No, but I mean, I'm certainly all in favor of more armed presence in the school of law enforcement, but it's also difficult to.
A human cop, not a RoboCop.
Right.
I'm not.
You're not pro-RoboCop.
I'm not at this point.
I hadn't heard that when you were.
How old do you teach your kids that the Earth is?
It's in the curriculum, that the Earth is millions of years old.
So you simply address, I understand that some of you obviously are not going to buy into the religion of Darwinism and the presuppositions that come from that.
Understand that this is what those folks will believe.
And then there's the alternative view of history, which isn't presented in the textbook.
But that's what I was saying.
When you have a teacher who's conscious of what the curriculum is doing and what textbook writers are doing, then I think that you can.
It's the same thing with U.S. history.
Show them primary source documents.
I mean, George Washington's farewell address.
It doesn't appear in any textbook anymore.
Every kid should read that.
Every kid should be reading that.
And the Declaration of Independence.
We got like the Cliff Notes version of it.
Read the document and understand what it is.
I make the kids do a declaration assignment where they have to put it in modern English, which sometimes has resulted in product that I wasn't necessarily wanting, but they do their best.
They really do.
Diplomatic way to say that.
Right.
But understand what the ideas are.
Understand what these words meant and what was intended by them.
Now, there was a discussion, and it's still ongoing, obviously, but about CRT in schools.
And this has been something that's come up.
Have you seen that in the curriculum?
In our school, no.
We do textbook adoption, which is different now because everything's technology-based, but we still are on a rotating basis.
So I look at the social studies curriculum that comes through.
The last time we looked at that, we're up next year for textbook adoption.
So the last time we adopted curriculum would have been six years ago, which is really before this push took place.
So we're anticipating that that's going to be a potential issue.
But again, it would not fly in my school corporation from the school board to the parents.
It just wouldn't.
Can you, because you have experience teaching U.S. history, can you explain the schools that do have CRT, what that means and kind of what's going into the curriculum?
Because I see people on the left on social media.
They'll post things that say the types of things like schools don't want to teach that slavery happened.
And schools don't want to teach like the Tulsa race riots.
They don't want to teach that these things happen.
But it's not that these things aren't getting taught.
It's that they're not being sort of interweaved with this political narrative, correct?
Right.
I guess it's tough to say, well, this isn't happening or this is happening in public schools because there's 100,000 of them that you're talking about, all these thousands of different school corporations.
But I know of no school corporation that omits the teaching of slavery, of the racial problems that we've had in the past, of segregation, the civil rights movement.
All of that stuff is obviously it's a part of U.S. history.
Now, could there be a school out there where there's somebody that doesn't want to teach it and omits all of that?
Yeah, there could be, but it's far from being an issue.
And that's why it's always hard for me when we have discussions about CRT, just like when you have discussions about virtually anything anymore, Christian nationalism is another one.
What do you mean by that term?
Until I understand what you mean, I can't really tell you whether or not that, right, if your understanding of CRT is that kids are going to learn about slavery, they're going to learn about Harriet Tubman, they're going to learn about, then yes, that's what we're teaching in the school.
So if you have a problem with that, then yeah, you do have a problem with our curriculum.
But if what you mean is X, Y, and Z, all of this other political narrative that's come into focus these last few years, if that's what you mean by CRT, then right, no, that's not appropriate for what we're doing here.
That's not necessary to teach the facts of U.S. history.
Have you ever taken the class out to a drag show or drag queen brunch or anything like that?
We cannot.
Transportation to get them out to that.
We bring the drag queens in.
It's better that way.
It saves on the transportation cost.
No, and I. Did you see this thing in Dallas?
What was that over the weekend where they had the drag queen brunch and there's kids there putting dollar bills?
The anger that I feel over that, yes, you have individuals that dress up and do those things in front of children.
There's got to be accountability.
But what is happening in a home where the parent thinks this is a good idea to expose my child to this?
To me, that is what is most flabbergasting about it, that parents would think this is good.
There's so many factors about it.
It's hard to talk about.
I watch it and I'm like, okay, well, I don't agree with the drag queen thing in the first place.
But if they're doing it on their own, I disapprove, but whatever.
You're adults, do your thing.
When you bring the kids into it, yeah, you think about the parents.
And yeah, I mean, it's wild.
You know, it's one of those things that people probably get tired of hearing it, but Antonin Scalia, I mean, dude nailed it on all this stuff.
I mean, back in the 80s when he's writing dissents and opinions that the court's ruling and he's saying this is what is going to happen.
This is what is going to come from this.
And everybody says, oh, that slippery slope logic.
Well, to a certain extent, slippery slope, I understand, is a logical fallacy.
But it also, this is also predictive.
You can see what is coming because once you've adopted a certain form of logic, extrapolate it outwards and see where it's going to lead.
That's not.
I never understood why that was classified as a logical fallacy.
Like, obviously, you can make too big of an argument for something.
You could exaggerate something.
Oh, this is going to lead to that.
That becomes a fallacy.
Joe Biden's recent issue, if the courts overturn Roe v. Wade, then gay kids aren't going to be allowed to be educated.
I mean, that's a slippery slope fallacy that makes no logical sense whatsoever.
Just taking something to its logical conclusion to me doesn't qualify as a certainty.
To me, that's being judicious and discerning.
How are the school lunches at your school?
Are they good or are they still as bad as they were when we were growing up?
I will admit that I eat.
He wasn't prepared.
We got.
No, I, I eat the same thing every day and it's not the school lunch.
Uh, I can tell you that my.
You eat every day.
It's a bag of turkey, like lunch turkey.
Just in a bag.
In a bag.
I'm not a big bread guy.
So I just bring the turkey in a bag and an activity.
Activity to stay regular.
Do you eat it with your fingers, like just clumps of turf?
That is correct, yes.
Yeah.
Coming up next for Babylon B subscribers.
Yeah.
All right, well, let's move on to some questions from NotToB users.
The people have spoken and they wanted to ask you some questions.
Okay.
And after that, we'll move into our 10 questions.
So here we go.
Questions from NotToB.
Conservative prof says, is there a curriculum that you have to teach that is opposed to your worldview?
The answer to the question is no, there's not curriculum that I have to teach that's opposed to my worldview.
I do think it would be difficult, man, if I was a science teacher.
