The Secret, Marxist Plot to Undermine the School Choice Movement
With Judge Ketanji Brown-Jackson's confirmation underway, and given her experience at Yale Law School, Charlie walks through the devolution of free speech on the top-ranked law school campus in New Haven and how it represents a larger, more existential threat to American society at large. Next, he's joined by Emma Jo Morris whose new piece in Breitbart News is sending shockwaves through the School Choice Community. Charlie and Emma walk through how a shadowy, quasi-dark money group is funding the radicalization of private schools and the conservative movement for school choice. This is a shocking exposé and you'll want to hear every single word of what she has to share, given the life-altering impact it stands to have on the future of education in our country.

Free Speech at Yale00:11:34
You know, there really is this tension between the people of our country, the muscular class, the welders, the police officers, the pastors, the moms, the dads, people that do their job, and the elites.
Now, we rail against the elites for good reason on this program.
We need better elites.
And by the way, we're not saying get rid of the idea of elites.
We believe in hierarchies.
You're always going to have some people that are going to rule your society.
This idea that you can get rid of the ruling class completely is a Marxist, utopian, egalitarian wish list.
It's never going to happen.
Utopia literally means nowhere.
If you go back to Thomas Moore's book and kind of the creation of the term utopia.
So we need better elites, not the eradication of them, not the disappearance of all of our elites.
But when you start to rail against the elites, we should take a step back and ask ourselves the question: where are the elites coming from?
Where are the training ground for the people who are now running our country?
So for example, what does Hillary Clinton, Meryl Streep, Anderson Cooper, John Kerry, Dershowitz, Paul Krugman, Corey Booker?
What do all those people have in common?
Well, just on that list, they all went to Yale.
According to usnews.com, Yale Law is the number one law school in the world.
Number one.
Stanford is number two.
Harvard is number three.
Columbia is number four.
Actually, Columbia is tied to the University of Chicago, number four.
Yale is the best law school you can get into.
Number one, hardest law school to get into.
Its tuition is $68,000 a year, and there are only 640 people that are enrolled in Yale Law School.
If you were to walk down the side of the street and you would say, What's one of the best schools in the country?
They'd say either Yale or Harvard or Princeton.
And when you meet graduates from these schools, they have a little sense of pride.
And I understand that you're part of something bigger than yourself, something elite.
Now, look, our institutions should elevate the best of us.
But we all know that our institutions have been so corrupted by ideology and these racial grievances that they reward adherence to a secular cult.
So, what just recently happened at Yale University, the place where John Kerry and Hillary Clinton Anderson Cooper all went to school, amongst many others.
That's not an exhaustive list.
The number one law school on the planet, what recently just happened there is worthy of reflection, exposing, and exploration.
So, over this last weekend, actually, it was March 10th.
It was a couple days ago, it was actually a week and a half ago.
It's just starting to really gain traction now.
There was an event that happened at Yale University.
So, there was a free speech event that was hosted by the Federalist Society.
The Federalist Society is an organization that believes in originalist interpretation of the Constitution.
They believe in the brilliance of the founding fathers.
The Federalist Society has done a lot of good for our country, and we all want to thank them for that.
The Federalist Society decided to host a panel at Yale University.
Now, usually, these panels, like maybe 30 people, will show up.
You get a couple smart aleck questions, and there really isn't a lot of drama.
Now, take it from someone who has spoken at over 100 college campuses in the last six years.
Over the last six years, I've spoken at Harvard, I've spoken at Stanford, I've spoken at Berkeley, spoken all across the country.
Usually, when these events happen, when I go to speak, we'll get some protesters and some pushback.
But what recently happened at Yale University is extraordinary.
Around 120 student protesters showed up to this event hosted by the Federalist Society.
Now, let me just take pause here.
This is not Yale as a university.
This is Yale law.
Let me say that again: this is Yale Law School.
This is supposed to be the most mature.
These are the future clerks, the future judges, the future prosecutors.
These are people that are going to have a lot of power.
So, what happened at Yale?
So, they host this event with Kristen Wagoner, General Counsel of ADF, Alliance Defending Freedom, great organization, and Monica Miller, legal director at the American Humanist Association.
They were going to discuss free speech and kind of legal implications of that.
Now, just so you understand, this was not going to exactly be the most eventful panel.
It was probably going to be very calm and very kind of legal-minded, a very high-minded panel, and then people would kind of get snacks and coffee afterwards, and that's about it.
So, around 120 student protesters showed up at the event with signs reading, F the fascists.
We're tired of this SHIT, according to Yale Daily News.
Zach Austin, president of the Yale Federalist Society, and Wagoner both said the protesters were disruptive and inappropriate, interrupting speakers.
These are law students.
It's not some sort of freshman at Yale.
Now, we've seen all the protests over the last couple years at Yale.
We saw the sit-ins during the Kavanaugh protests.
We saw all of that.
This is a new threshold for now Yale law school.
Here's a short clip of it right here.
Play cut two.
And no, I'm supposed to see them in the free speech.
We're not the same.
You're in the freaking job.
So I know that was like a lot of clamoring noise.
We're going to put that clip on CharlieKirk.com.
If it's confusing, it was meant to be confusing because basically these 120 law students at the number one law school on the planet, according to usnews.com, are incessantly and rudely interrupting the speaker.
A better clip is the person actually involved, ADF's general counsel, on how the Yale protesters were unable to find common ground and debate.
I just want to take a pause and reflection.
What does this say for the future of the Department of Justice?
If you have Yale on your resume, you're going to get a job somewhere good.
Law firm or whatever.
And maybe your backup plan would go become a Department of Justice prosecutor.
And this is what we're creating at Yale Law School?
Play cut 20.
It's difficult to say.
I mean, the whole point of the panel was to demonstrate civil discourse between two ideological opponents and to show that where you can find common ground in the law, you should to protect civil liberties.
They were more interested, these students, in heckling, hurling insults, and shouting down the speakers than engaging in civil dialogue.
Now, this does not shock me or surprise me, but I'm doing this story for a reason because this should be a moment of pause.
Now, the response from this has been, I would be honest, this is what has surprised me.
A federal judge is now warning against hiring from Yale Law School.
A federal judge is now encouraging all of his colleagues to carefully consider whether the Yale Law School students who attempted to shut down the bipartisan panel on free speech should be qualified from potential clerkships.
D.C. Circuit Judge Lawrence Silverman sent an email on Thursday to all federal judges in the U.S. Basically, blind carbon copied the entire federal bench, urging them to take Fracas as the nation's top law school seriously.
Quote, the latest events at Yale Law School, Silverman wrote, quote, prompt me to suggest that students who are identified as those willing to disrupt any panel discussion should be noted.
All federal judges and all federal judges are presumably committed to free speech.
Should carefully consider whether any student so identified should be disqualified from potential clerkships.
And this has sparked a huge debate amongst federal judges.
So now all these spoiled brats at Yale Law School who think they're going to run the world, by the way, all of them masked, every single one of them, in erupting a free speech panel are now going to have their entire legal career in jeopardy.
Clerkships are the gateway to a legal career.
And guess what?
That's where it should be.
These children at Yale Law School should not get federal clerkships, period.
They should be disqualified from that for the rest of their life.
This is what should be an impact event for their career.
You want to go disrupt and interrupt people?
Go study North African lesbian poetry.
Go to Sacramento State and go become a public school teacher.
You're at Yale law.
Grow up.
You're going to have a lot of power in your life.
If you're going to interrupt the meaningly very vanilla panel on free speech, Yale's not for you.
Decisions have consequences.
Enjoy the rest of your life teaching third-grade language arts.

The Billion Dollar Endowment00:04:39
One of the reasons why Yale is able to get away with this is they are run by cowardly ideologues captured by the very same ideology that we rail against on this program.
It is an embrace of the woke.
Now, one of the reasons this happens, though, is that the check and balance, which we love, we love checks and balances, which is why we love the Constitution.
We believe power needs to be held in check.
One of the checks and balances used to be donor funding of universities.
Well, as these universities have grown their endowments, they no longer really need to be dependent on university donors.
So Yale University can basically do whatever they want to do.
If the right person with the wrong ideas gets into power at Yale University, what is the mechanism for a graduate of the Yale class of 1958 to remove them?
Or a Yale graduate of 1970?
Pull your donation?
Well, Yale University has an endowment that is quite sizable.
I want you just to guess to yourself before I tell you what it is.
Guess to yourself, what would the endowment be?
Basically, the money or the assets or the resources in the bank that Yale has at their disposal.
Would you say it would be a million?
Oh, no, no, no.
A billion?
Maybe $5 billion?
Maybe $10 billion?
No, no, no, no.
Yale Endowment, according to YaledailyNews.com, has a $42.3 billion endowment.
Yale is no longer a university.
Yale is a hedge fund with a university attached to it.
Yale Endowment reaches $42.3 billion, posting a 40% return year over year.
That's an incredible return.
During the 2021 fiscal year, the endowment increased by $11.1 billion, up from $31.2 billion over the 10-year period ending in June 30th, 2021.
And they're still charging $80,000 a year in tuition, despite the fact that Yale University has a $42.3 billion endowment.
Last spring, Yale unveiled a new principle for divesting fossil fuels from their portfolio.
Interesting component of this.
We'll get to that.
That's totally unrelated.
I'm just reading from the daily, Yale Daily News.
But don't worry, they're still charging people $80,000 a year.
So, but the point is that basically, Yale, how do you hold them accountable?
Donors stop giving money?
They got $42 billion in the bank.
They're going to be like, so what?
We do whatever we want.
Remember, these Yale graduates become the elites of society.
We rail against the elites.
We rail against the ruling class.
But let's look at the manufacturing line of how those elites are put together.
Let's look at how those elites are assembled.
So the elites come out of these premier boarding schools and they come after these very, let's say, corrupt public schools.
And then they go to a place like Yale.
And over the course of four years, they get assembled into a social justice activist.
But it's even worse than Yale University itself.
The whole story that we're hammering here with Yale is the law school itself.
I want you to think about that.
The law school is supposed to be the students that are the wisest and they're going to have the most power.
They literally are going to control the criminal prosecution system or they're going to control clerkships, become future judges.
And those 120 students, which, by the way, you know, some numbskull emailed us.
Well, Charlie, it was only 120 kids.
There's only 600 people in Yale law.
So if my number is right, that's roughly one out of five of all Yale law students showed up to protest a bipartisan speech panel.
One out of five.
Now, what would the Yaley way to handle this be in the old values of William F. Buckley, who, by the way, William F. Buckley warned us about how Yale was a corrupt institution in like 1950?
Separate topic for a different time.
What if these spoiled brats would have instead just kind of sat down, listened to everything that had to be said, and then asked informed questions without interrupting them and rudely hurling insults?
Funding the Left via Cell Phones00:03:06
But no, no, no, no.
That's not what they teach at these universities.
And I just want to warn every parent out there, this is a theme of our show: you send your child to college, you may never see them again.
We're the parents of these Yale law students.
I could just imagine one of these parents of these Yale law students in Palm Beach.
Yeah, my kid goes to Yale law while they're golfing.
Like, yeah, he or she's going to be a superstar.
And they turn on television.
They see that they're not becoming a superstar.
They're becoming a social justice warrior activist.
Where are the parents in this?
Nowhere to be found.
Look, stop giving money to companies that hate you.
I know I say it a lot, but it's pretty simple and it's important.
Your cell phone bill is probably funding the left.
They're probably funding pro-abortion groups.
They're probably funding LGBT groups.
Your cell phone bill, whether you know it or not, are going to woke companies that hate you.
The political class is obsessed with supporting anything that's outside of America.
And businesses, they're not on our team anymore.
So I went on a search.
I was so sick and tired.
Attorney Point USA were spending thousands of dollars a month on our cell phones.
And so I asked the question: who in a cell phone space actually shares my value?
So I went on a search and I found Glenn Story, a friend of mine who runs Patriot Mobile.
Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative cell phone provider.
So, I found them and I asked them all the tough questions, and then I used their service.
I realized they offer broad nationwide coverage, and they use the same towers that carriers.
But more than anything else, Glenn Story and Patriot Mobile, they sponsor all of our Turning Point USA events.
They're not afraid to get into the trenches.
So, I know that when I pay for my cell phone service at Patriot Mobile, it's not going to BLM.
It's not going to the Gay Pledge of Allegiance with Chastin Buddha Judge.
It's not going to the Atheist Alliance of America.
No, it's going to groups like Turning Point, groups like the March for Life.
So, Patriot Mobile has plans to fit any budget, and their American-based customer support team provides exceptional customer service.
Most importantly, Patriot Mobile, they share your values, organizations fighting for religious freedom, constitutional rights, and sanctity of life.
So, make the switch today.
Go to patriotmobile.com/slash Charlie or call 972-Patriot.
Get a free activation with the offer code Charlie.
They also have special discounts for our veteran and first responder heroes, and they are heroes.
So, vote with your dollars.
Stop paying the left with your cell phone bill.
Right now, I bet you're looking at your cell phone bill, you're looking at your credit card statement, you might pay your cell phone with your credit card statement.
Maybe it's $80, maybe it's $150.
You might as well scratch out the company and just fill in B L M If that makes you queasy, it should.
So, do something about it.
Go to patriotmobile.com/slash Charlie or call 972 Patriot.
Join the movement.
Stop using the bad guys.

With us right now is Emma Joe Morris from Breitbart.com.
She has a phenomenal news story out.
School Choice Won't Fix It00:15:53
This says, School choice alone will not address the woke problem in the United States.
Here's the plan to fix it.
And also, she has a story that says exclusive undercover mothers, moms form covert network to expose indoctrination programs plaguing private schools across the country.
Emma joins us right now.
Emma Jo joins us right now.
Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
Thank you, Charlie.
Thanks for having me.
And you can call me Emma.
All right, you got it.
So, Emma, tell us about this story.
Yeah, so I got into contact.
I'll just tell you briefly the background.
I got into contact with a group of mothers who could not be named and had to be kept anonymous because they're mothers of children in private schools, NAIS-accredited private schools.
And they are having a huge problem because their children are being indoctrinated with leftism of the worst kind.
I'm talking about race essentialism, critical theory with gender where five-year-olds are being told to observe and affirm their gender, and it may not be coordinated with their sex, all this stuff that you're seeing in public schools, but really like another level.
And they have no mechanism to push back on that because they are bound by contracts that are really unconscionable contracts, which means one side concedes everything and the other side holds all the leverage.
So, that's the position they've been put in.
So, they came to me anonymously.
Obviously, I know their identity, but I'm not able to disclose it because their kids could be expelled for this.
But they've revealed some of the most shocking, jarring, disgusting material that made me uncomfortable.
And I'm 30 years old, let alone if I was five, six, seven, eight of the stuff that their children are being taught.
And so, I got interested in this story, and we did a series together.
I've done now, I think, four stories with these mothers.
And it got me to think a lot about, you know, what our politicians are talking about in terms of education policy.
And I realized that, you know, Republicans have, you know, entered the spotlight as education advocates in the face of all the CRT and the critical pedagogy that's being taught in schools and how upset parents are.
And they've responded to that.
But there is something missing in the way that Republicans have been talking about this issue that I felt I had revealed in my reporting.
So I wrote this column that's up on Breitbart News today that basically says, you know, talking about school choice, which is the central pillar of Republican education policy, is not enough.
It's not enough.
And if anything, if left alone just as is, it may empower the woke institutions that are really undermining the lessons and the spirit of America, you know, the spirit of meritocracy, for example, which is one of our highest held values.
So I suggest that in order to lead on this issue, Republicans really need to actually broaden and increase the sophistication of the way that they talk about education.
And I brought up three pillars that I think are really critical in this conversation, apart from just school choice, that I think will really help the problem.
The first pillar that I discuss is really trying to put pressure and investigate these accreditation associations for private schools and the school boards for public schools to try to decentralize schools from these major bodies and these bureaucracies, because not only are they bloated and not only are they wasteful, but they are a main source of woke materials for the schools.
The second thing that I suggest is treating the race, critical race theory and critical gender theory or critical theory pedagogy as a violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which bans any institution taking any federal money from discriminating on the basis of race.
And the second, sorry, and the third pillar of my plan that I suggest is to really investigate the nature of school contracts and to really take a look at the position parents are being put in.
For instance, not being allowed to question the curriculum, not being allowed to question school culture for threat of expulsion or other kinds of retribution, for not having the right to know about critical information about their child, such as their gender, which many of these contracts permit the school to hide from parents, and just having the ability in general to have a transparent relationship with the school,
which they don't have the right right now in terms of knowing what's in the curriculum and what their children are reading.
So I think that if those three pillars are matched with school choice, then Republicans will really be nailing this issue in a way that is appropriate.
So I want to play some of the examples from some of your reporting.
Let's go to cut 22.
This is private schools nationwide pushing a queer inclusive curriculum.
This video shows a teacher talking about how they talk about private body parts with students and if they feeling they match their assigned gender.
Before we get to that, how old are these students?
Do we know in this particular one?
Yeah, this is so no, this is a training for teachers from the National Association of Independent Schools, and they are talking about talking to five-year-olds pre-K.
Got it.
So they are training teachers on how to train, training teachers on how to talk to five-year-olds about queer inclusive curriculum.
And this is for private schools.
So if you send your, if you're paying $30,000 a year for a private school and you're not paying attention as a mom, well, your five-year-old might be preyed upon.
Play Cut 22.
With the younger children starting in pre-K, we talk about their bodies, about the parts that they were born with, about penises and vaginas and whether that makes somebody a boy or a girl, but also their feelings.
What do they feel like inside?
Do they feel like a boy or a girl?
What does their head say?
Does their head and their heart and their body match up?
I mean, and so that's training teachers.
Let's then go to cut 23.
Teacher justifies talking about specific parts with pre- through K, is that correct?
Through preschool and kindergartners, play cut 23.
Um, and I read through, I'm like, this is really progressive stuff, but it was my first year.
So I'm like, okay, we're just super progressive.
So I went in there, guns blazing, and I just went for it.
And I ended up talking about the vulva and the labia with pre-cares.
And it was just one of those moments everybody's looking in horror.
And I'm like, oh no, I made a really big mistake.
And I share that with you because it's not perfect, right?
It's a practice.
So be kind to yourselves when you're like delving into this stuff.
That's really graphic.
Any thoughts there, Emma, before we get to the next tape?
Oh, it's it's I'm it makes you speechless.
It's absolutely revolting.
This is a woman talking about how she accidentally gave the wrong lesson about sex and sexuality to five-year-olds and how she should be kind to herself and how if that happens, you should be kind to yourself.
How about those children there who are traumatized, who are being introduced to this smut.
And this is school choice.
I mean, if we keep school choice as is, if we keep, I don't think that kids should not have the opportunity to go to private schools.
That's not at all what I'm saying.
All I'm saying is at the same time as we're giving them opportunities to go to private schools, A, it should be well known that this is what they're getting.
And B, this disgusting behavior needs to be dealt with at the same time.
Cut 24, you could change your sex with quite a whole lot of effort and you get to decide your gender identity.
Again, taught to pre-preschoolers.
Is that right?
This next one?
Okay.
Pre-K, six-year-olds, play cut 24.
Starting in fifth grade, we start using the words for that.
That sex is what you were born with.
It's external and internal genitalia.
It's hormones and chromosomes.
That's something that you can only change with a whole lot of effort.
Gender identity is how you feel inside.
It's what you feel like in your heart and in your head, just like the language that we used when they were younger.
But it's something personal.
It's something that's unique to you.
It's something that you get to decide.
So it says in the bottom, pre through five, pre-K through fifth grade at the bottom.
I just want to reinforce what this is.
This is the National Association of Independent Schools.
Who funds the National Association of Independent Schools?
The parents at private schools.
So basically, the private schools pay dues.
It's like a union.
It's similar to a union for private schools.
They provide various services that help the schools with PR, with principal placement, curriculum, teacher trainings, like what you're watching.
And in return, they pay dues like a union and they have their back.
And this is what school choice will get you if we leave it as is.
That's why I thought this column was just so urgent and pressing.
It's like there needs to be a first of all a broad understanding of what we're looking at in schools.
I mean, this is total child abuse.
Yeah, I mean, widespread and well-known child abuse that needs to be broadcast.
Yeah, I mean, look, so, but this is where parents need to understand.
I'm just looking right now while you're talking, NAIS.org.
They have the NAIS Diversity Leadership Institute is now open.
They have equity labs.
So if you are paying for your kids' private school tuition, it very well probably is going towards this organization, NAIS, which has 1,800 schools and associations.
So these are not public schools.
So basically, the left-wingers have found a way to co-opt the private schools as well as the public schools.
I want to play one more piece of tape here.
The principal principal professional development conference hosted by NAIS, the People of Color Conference, was started, quote, by educational diversity equity consultant and former NAIS Director of Diversity, Randolph Carter, who's a self-described Black Panther.
Play Cut 25.
I hope I'm not embarrassing anyone, but I do want to acknowledge Randolph Carter and just a couple of his contributions.
During his many years as head of the NAIS Office of Diversity and Inclusion, Randolph was co-founder of the People of Color Conference.
And then the personal thing for me is he's a former Black Panther.
And I think you need a little bit of that attitude to do this kind of work.
Any thoughts?
What?
I mean, honestly, did you hear what he just said?
He's a former Black Panther, and you need that attitude to do this kind of work.
What's this kind of work?
Because as far as I'm concerned, we're talking about training teachers who teach children.
And I'm not quite sure what that's supposed to imply.
Like, I mean, you get the point.
You know, this is really insidious stuff.
This isn't just a liberal teacher.
You know, as we all had, I'm sure you had, I had myself.
I think we're about the same age.
It's like it used to be one way where you kind of had this tacit understanding that, you know, these cultural institutions like academia were really run by liberals and it was kind of this funny thing.
And the parents would joke, you know, they'll be liberal until they have to pay taxes.
This is not that.
This is not our liberal teacher that we used to have.
This is something where we have militant leftists who are not willing to compromise, who are not willing to be rational.
They are on a political mission.
And as you said, you know, and I want to touch on that point because it was a great point.
Yeah, these are private schools, but we're check out this work.
This is an elite takeover.
And these kids, unfortunately, are going to graduate to be in very powerful roles being indoctrinated this way.
So we could take a look at those.
I'm on the NIAS website, the National Association of Independent Schools.
So public schools are a problem, but you might think, oh, I'm sending my kid to private school.
Everything's wonderful.
Well, I'm just reading here.
NAIS, the National Association of Independent Schools, is funding.
In fact, they have a teacher training for the Equity Diversity Lab or the Equity Design Lab.
Listen to this.
They say, why is improving grading critical to ensuring academic excellence and equity in classrooms?
What grading practices are more accurate and bias resistant?
Here's, we're going to understand the history of current grading practices.
We're going to go into how to make grading more equitable.
Emma, what are they talking about here when they say that?
They're talking about exactly what they say they're talking about.
They want to do race-based affirmative action grading.
And it's just totally, that's why I wrote this column again.
That is, that is the nut of the problem of why I wrote this column, because if we are giving vouchers to kids who are underprivileged, to kids who are minorities, to go to these schools to get a better education, ostensibly, that is not at all what they're getting.
They're actually going there to be patronized and to be treated as some sort of, in my opinion, second-class citizen being given some sort of alternate grading that doesn't have to do with actually educating them, which is a travesty.
It's a disgrace.
And it totally undermines exactly what America is about and how people actually succeed in this country and how people actually have class mobility in this country, which is by merit and achievement.
And they are having that taken away from them.
Actually, one of the mothers that I've been working with for this series said something really interesting.
She said, the left hasn't been able to figure out how to raise the floor in terms of how to give people better opportunity.
They have not been able to figure that out.
So what they've done is they've dropped the ceiling to lower standards, to lower the bar in order for more people to be able to obviously overcome it.
But what they're doing in the end is really just robbing kids of a proper education.
So, you know, this must be dealt with in tandem with sending kids to have this opportunity to go to private schools.
It's not much of an opportunity as it stands.
So let me ask you, is there a reasonable counterbalance to the NAIS, the National Association of Independent Schools, or is it basically a monopoly?
Oh, no, this is a cartel.
This is an absolute cartel.
They give orders to their member schools, and those member schools must obey them in order to receive all the benefits of membership, of which there are.
So what needs to be done, there is no alternative.
The alternative is to remove yourself from it.
And parents must demand and lawmakers must demand who are advocating for the interest of children that there should be incentives for these schools to leave these institutions, to leave these organizations, these bodies like NAIS.
It's very similar to the Department of Education, the school board.
Yeah.
And so this is, so, and they're basically the big actor in the private.
So just to make sure everyone understands your argument, a lot of Republicans are pushing for school choice.
I love school choice legislation.
However, part of the school choice movement is we want to try to get kids to be able to go to private schools.
The money follows the kid.
But if they go from a broken public school to a well-funded woke private school, your point is basically, what difference does that make?
Exactly.
That's exactly right.
I am obviously there's no bigger supporter of people having equal opportunity to go as far as they possibly can based on their intellect and ability.
That is the promise of America.
That's what distinguishes this country.
Woke Private Schools vs Public00:01:36
That's absolutely spot on.
But all I'm saying is that there is a rot in these private schools that are preventing that from happening.
So in order to see the benefit of school choice, we must deal with that rot and eliminate that rot.
And really, it stems from the NAIS that is a main source of the problem.
And schools should be incentivized and lawmakers need to govern on this issue and find a way to incentivize schools to remove themselves from this.
Sounds like a big opportunity.
So Emma, thank you so much for joining us.
Breitbart.com is where you can find her work.
We're going to repost it on charliekirk.com.
Some of the most important undercover work here.
We've only kind of touched the surface, but this National Association of Independent Schools, I'll tell you, this is a wrinkle that most people didn't know about.
I haven't really done a lot of thinking about it, but now we're exposing them.
Diversity labs, equity labs, they're training the teachers on how to make your kids hate you and hate the country and hate themselves.
And you're paying it.
If you're paying every single parent out there, if you send your kid to private school tonight, just ask.
And they don't know why they're asking.
Hey, is our private school, is Oaks Christian or whatever?
Are we a part of NAIS, the National Associate of Independent Schools?
If yes, then your school is part of a cartel to make your kids hate themselves, hate you, and hate their country.
Emma, thank you so much.
Appreciate it.
Absolutely.
