Solutions - For Teachers (watch for free)
This 10-part series is for teachers who are concerned about ideological bias in public education—and are wondering, “What can I do without walking away from my students?”
You'll hear primarily from two veteran public school teachers, Ted Lamb and Frank McCormick, who witnessed significant changes in education over the course of their careers and found their own ways to push back. You'll also hear from Natalie Cline and Monica Wilbur of HigherGround.work, offering another perspective on creating change within public education.
Throughout the course, you'll explore:
-
How ideological beliefs can enter classrooms, curriculum, teacher training, and school culture
-
How seemingly positive educational language can sometimes obscure controversial ideas and practices
-
Ways teachers can encourage genuine critical thinking rather than political conformity
-
How to use primary sources, evidence, and thoughtful questioning in the classroom
-
Strategies teachers have used to challenge ideological pressure while navigating professional risks
-
The importance of finding and supporting other like-minded educators
-
The role of courage, conscience, and faith when deciding when—and how—to take a stand
Ted and Frank took different approaches, but both came to believe that teachers can play a powerful role in restoring education to the pursuit of knowledge, truth, reason, and independent thought.
This course is an invitation to educators who want to teach—not indoctrinate—and who are looking for practical ways to make a difference from inside the classroom.

With Ted Lamb and Frank McCormick
____________________________

2:06
Lesson 3 - How Teachers Are Subverted to the Ideologies
With Monica Wilbur and Natalie Cline
____________________________

- Learn how ideological ideas can become embedded in school culture as one generation of educators trains, hires, and influences the next.

Lesson 4 - The Subversion of Language in Education
With Frank McCormick and Ted Lamb
____________________________
- Learn how familiar, positive-sounding terms such as “equity,” “culturally relevant education,” and “social-emotional learning” can take on very different meanings within education.
- Discover why teachers and parents need to look beyond appealing labels and examine the actual lessons, policies, and ideas being introduced under them.

7:27
Lesson 5 - Removing Biased Ideologies From the Schools
With Frank McCormick
____________________________
- Learn why political and ideological neutrality should apply to teachers across the spectrum—and how classrooms that encourage students to question and challenge ideas can help keep a teacher's personal beliefs in check.
- Discover why building broad public support often begins with common ground, such as the principle that schools should educate students rather than promote a particular political viewpoint.
- Learn how to communicate concerns more effectively by knowing your audience, avoiding unnecessarily inflammatory language, and introducing unfamiliar issues in ways that help people understand rather than immediately tune out.
13:25
Lesson 6 - How Frank Pushed Back
With Frank McCormick
____________________________
- Hear how Frank decided to speak publicly about what he was witnessing inside his school district—even though he believed doing so could ultimately cost him his teaching career.
- Learn how he used social media, media attention, and documented evidence to bring greater public awareness to ideological bias in his district and create leverage as an educator speaking from inside the system.

2:31
Lesson 7 - The Tactic of Civil Disobedience
With Frank McCormick
____________________________
- Explore when teachers might consider principled civil disobedience—refusing to participate in activities or trainings they believe violate their conscience or promote contested ideological beliefs as fact.
- Learn how teachers can object calmly and constructively by explaining their concerns, inviting discussion, and demonstrating that disagreement doesn't have to mean hostility.
- Discover how one teacher's willingness to respectfully say “no” can give others the courage to speak up—potentially creating enough resistance to cause school leaders to reconsider controversial practices.
17:07
Lesson 8 - How Ted Pushes Back
With Ted Lamb
____________________________
- Learn how Ted uses primary sources and original historical documents to teach beyond textbook summaries while still meeting required academic standards.
- Discover how teachers can use thoughtful questions, competing perspectives, and evidence to encourage students to reason for themselves—rather than simply telling them what they should believe.

2:38
Lesson 9 - Linking Arms With Like-Minded Teachers
With Ted Lamb
____________________________
- Learn why connecting with like-minded educators can provide encouragement, information, and support—especially for teachers who may feel isolated in their own schools.
- Discover how teacher networks can help educators find one another, share experiences and strategies, and build the confidence that comes from knowing they aren't standing alone.
- See how even a small group of teachers can work together more effectively by understanding the issues, documenting evidence, and supporting one another when it's time to speak up.
2:15
Lesson 10 - Ted's Dramatic Dream
With Ted Lamb
____________________________
- Hear the powerful dream that left Ted with a vivid image of struggling children calling for help—and his efforts to bring them to safety.
