#102: Restoring Power to Parents for Our Children's Education
In recent years, we have been hearing much about schools closed during the pandemic. But school closures are far from the only political battles as pandemic-era restrictions subside. From San Francisco to suburban Virginia, the decline in civil debate, decency, and ethics are sparking a new movement for parents across America to play a bigger role in their children's education. Erin Phillips, co-founder and president of Power2Parent, shares her story of getting involved as a mother in her local education system in Southern Nevada. She also discusses how parents in Nevada and around the U.S. are realizing the indecency of school systems and taking action to do what is best for their children's education and prosperity.
