The indoctrination of our students is one of the Left's most pernicious and effective means of destroying our culture and our values. A key element of the "Long March Through the Institutions," our schools are at the forefront of the advancement of various leftist ideas and propaganda including the normalizing of highly sexualized agendas (even among the youngest children), the emphasis on American shame rather than pride, and the progressive replacement of emotions (and activism) for knowledge and thought, among countless other ways they undermine our culture. The relevance of this front in the battle for Western Civilization and our values can't be overstated: as long as our schools are abused in this way, we will never, literally never gain ground and anything else we do to preserve all that we have will simply be moot.

Rebecca Friedrichs has, for decades, been standing up against this propagandizing, the shutting out of parents from decision-making in the classroom, and the tremendous power wielded by the unions. Her new book.Standing Up To Goliath, is a powerhouse of an indictment against what goes on in today's schools and an inspiration for how to fight back.

We are exceptionally fortunate to have her come speak at the Luxe. She might not be on your radar yet, but I PROMISE you, she will be, and I hope you seize this opportunity to come hear her story and meet this extraordinary woman.

In this special appearance at AFA, Mrs. Friedrichs will preview the book and share her vision for using it to launch "For Kids & Country," a national movement of parents, teachers, students, faith leaders, and citizens uniting to restore our schools and culture.

About Rebecca Friedrichs (From the ALEC website)

About the book,Standing Up to Goliath: Battling State and National Teachers' Unions for the Heart and Soul of Our Kids and Country:

Rebecca Friedrichs tells real-life stories that expose state and national teachers’ unions as the money and muscle behind the degradation of America’s schools and culture.

In a book that’s both accessible and enlightening, Rebecca Friedrichs recounts her thirty-year odyssey as an elementary school teacher who comes face-to-face with the forces dividing and corrupting our schools and culture—state and national teachers’ unions. An exciting true story that features real life testimonies of teachers, parents, and kids, as well as political and social commentary, Rebecca’s journey leads her to the realization that the only hope for America’s schools and families is returning authority to parents and teachers while lessening the grip of state and national unions that:

• Promote a culture of fear and bully teachers and parents into silence.
• Undermine parents’ authority by sexually, socially, and politically indoctrinating kids.
• Use the apple-pie image of the PTA as a “front” to promote a partisan agenda.
  

These insights and more led Rebecca and nine other teachers to the US Supreme Court where their case, Friedrichs v California Teachers Association, et al., sought to restore the First Amendment rights of all teachers and government employees. They argued no one should be forced to pay fees to abusive, politically driven unions, and were poised to change the very landscape of American education—until tragedy struck.

Saddened but unbowed, Rebecca started a national movement, For Kids and Country, leading the charge of servant leaders who believe Judeo-Christian values (including kindness) and restoration of the teaching profession—possible only by rejecting state and national unions and forming “local only” associations—are the answers to America’s woes. She invites you to join them.

“America’s teachers, parents, and kids deserve better,” Rebecca writes. “If we want freedom, we’re going to have to fight for it.”
