Really interesting video of him detailing his experiences in Hollywood and the blatant attempts by Hollywood to set out a narrative before the first scene is ever shot.

That was brilliant and what an incredible man. That was such a refreshing 14-15 minutes. So much truth and great advice to young people paying the price to keep your integrity. Great find, thank you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing...as a teacher in a school that has gone full woke, I have been brought back to my superintendents office and called a misogynist, racist and fake because I do not fall in line with CRT and hating myself for being white.

It hasn't gotten to the point of losing my job but I am willing to if came down to that or actually being fake and acting like I believe the divisiveness they are spewing.

His podcast "The Andrew Klavan Show" is entertaining, witty, sarcastic, and insightful.

When I first found Shaprio on the network, I loved his commentary. Then I found The Klavan ('there are no eees in Klavan'.... lol).

Good example of age bringing wisdom and experience to the table.

Hope you are gathering documentation, and recordings of these encounters. When you have enough and/or something good then that's a good time to go scorched earth on them. If you can't take them down, but they you, they will win.

Good luck man. Keep us updated.

Where do you teach? I teach 11th grade US History and there is no way in hell I'd teach CRT. I actually taught a lesson last week about the Constitution, our founding fathers, why we should show respect during the National Anthem and Pledge of Allegiance, and why "In God We Trust" is on money and other things of the US Government. This was all in the textbook also which was a surprise. I don't think I'll ever have to worry about having to teach CRT in Mississippi, but, like you, I'll resign or be fired before I ever do that shite. If I'm ever told to teach CRT I'm out.

We the people have to stand by our principles and not be bullied and brow beat by the woke mob including woke institutions. Remember, at least for now there are more of us than them, band together, defend your right and your children’s right to think freely.

I am from and teach in southern NJ. I graduated from LSU in 2007. My district is very conservative and the administration hates it and thinks they need to go through some re-education.

I am a Health & PE teacher and I dont care about what a kid looks like as long as they tey in class and are respectful. Things are changing quickly...for example for school wide character education classes it used to be tolerance as a theme and now it is tolerance isn't enough, you must accept everyone. I still tell my students that you don't have to accept everyone's beliefs. Tolerance and acceptance are not the same thing.

I got out of my union a few years ago once the Supreme Court decision was made that you don't have to be in and pay dues if you aren't. So when I was called back to her office, she new I would have no representation. After a few minutes and I saw it was getting nasty, I pulled my phone out and told her I would be recording the rest of the meeting. She said, that she didn't care and continued to call me names.

At the end if the meeting, she said look for a formal written complaint in the next few days that will go in your file. I told her I looked forward to it. This was on the first day of school and I'm still waiting for it.

I was respectful but I will not back down. She was in a position of power and tried to bully me. Wasn't having it.

Sincerely, thank you for your service as a teacher. Because you are truly trying to educate not indoctrinate.

Liberals are everywhere in public education. Even down here in the south, especially in elementary schools. The last few years there has been this big equality push, but when you examine it equity is what it is. All student outcomes are equal. An "ungraded" school, i.e. no grades are given. Everyone is the same. Communism. My wife has dealt with this with her administration at an elementary school. Big surprise most of these pushing equity down here are women. Stand firm and don't get pushed around by these "understanding and unifying" progs. I know you have it much worse than us here in Dixie.

My wife and I have discussed moving south. It is tough because all of my family is here in New Jersey and I'm in my 14th year of teaching. Its hard to just get up and move but like Klaven said principles over money. On the other hand I do not want to give the people the satisfaction of me leaving.

I do not understand equity...I was raised on equality and that is how I will live the rest of my life. Especially with my discipline of PE. Sports are the great equalizer. Bring people together from different backgrounds with the same goal in mind. Skin color religion or whatever doesn't matter.

I explained my passion is life long fitness and showing students the importance of being active for the rest if their life. She replied, "well I suggest you get on the train with what we're doing or maybe ____ isn't the place for you and maybe education isn't the right profession for you"

Imagine the head of your school is more worried about if you are on an equity committee then teaching your actual discipline that they are paying you for.

Msudawg1200,wolfhound45 and TOSOV I appreciate the encouragement.
