I am baaaaack.  I explain why I have been away from podcasting since October 3rd (directive from my former job).  I give y'all a brief explanation for my retiring at 55 years-old and in the middle of the school year. Clarifying:  When I say on the podcast episode, "escape the 'chamber of horror'... that 'chamber of horror' IS being placed in the "cannot say, 'I love you" chamber and the "refrain from using social media" chamber.  I LOVE MY STUDENTS.  My students were my peace of mind / my mission from God!!  I will miss my students.  I look forward to returning to teaching at a charter or Christian school in California or one of those options plus public school in a state that supports teachers saying, "I love you" to their students and support teachers being able to use the FIRST amendment (Free Speech).   This "The Imbalance of Ethnic Studies -1" is the first of what will be / can be a number of specific episodes on what students ARE NOT being taught in Ethnic Studies, as well as what students are being taught.  I encourage you to look at my CRT presentation from December 5, 2021 (information is below).   if you would like more detailed reason for leaving a noble profession (teaching music at a public high school in California) please visit my website Explanation of Retirement | Band Together (conductingmylife.com)More information about Critical Race Theory (Ethnic Studies) CRT Presentation December 5, 2021 | Band Together (conductingmylife.com)Great article about the "real" goal of Ethnic Studies Merchants of Revolution (christopherrufo.com)If you want to reach me, please use my email address:  [email protected] If you want to donate to our mission, we would appreciate it... there are business expenses.  I strongly believe there is a "fight" to keep the United States of America what the Founding Fathers wanted it to be.  https://bit.ly/3g7Rn1p
