The Reason We Learn

Premiering today at 2 PM Eastern! 🐍

My conversation with artist Forrest Dickison about his stunning new hand-painted edition of Rudyard Kipling's "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi." We talk about how you draw a cobra for children, what Rikki's mother taught him, and why Forrest chose watercolor over anything digital.

Hit "Notify me" on the premiere so you don't miss it, and join me in the live chat.

This was sooooooo satisfying! Not to take anything away from this BRILLIANT analysis, but I would like to mention that many of us predicted this very outcome from everything people like NHJ have touched years ago. In fact I think I'll reshare my video about Anti-racist Baby because I particularly enjoyed Katharine's evisceration of Kendi's work. Love ❤️ ‪@StrictlyEdPod‬ and so glad it's such a massive success!

Anybody still out there? Hi. It's been a minute. I've been busy retooling my entire life, and I haven't been able to produce content, but I'll be coming back here and there soon, but focusing less on analyzing education as a system and more on what I'd like us to revisit as parents and teachers in our efforts to educate ourselves, as well as our children.

I want to talk about books, and movies, and music we can share with children to keep the good and the beautiful and the true alive for them. I want to celebrate the timeless and the true. But most of all I want to stop being angry all the time, and that's what covering the education "system" in America did to me.

See you soon!

VERY sad to see Yaron Brook--and by extension the Ayn Rand Institute -- turn coward. He makes the straw man argument that we must embrace gov't -run school choice because there's "no way to shut down the gov't schools overnight."

First of all, yes there is, but even if you don't believe that, NO ONE who opposes expanding gov't into private schools and homeschools has argued we should eliminate schools "overnight."

There are MYRIAD other options, but he "KANT" see them; he's willfully denying the reality of every political solution to gov't education, and is defending gov't subsidies claiming we have to "compromise" with evil. He has NO roadmap for how we end up with liberty from this, and has deleted all my comments challenging him. Evasion. Intellectual dishonesty. Beyond disappointing, SHAMEFUL.

COWARD. Reality-denier. INCREMENTALIST. FRAUD.

As if our schools weren't awful enough. This is pure evil right here. If you're adoration for this man is such that you can't see that, I feel sorry for you (and your kids).

School Choice is a "mouse trap." You are the mouse in this scenario.
