Inside the Texas Classroom Battle: How One State Board Fought Communist Indoctrination and Brought the Bible Back

Inside the Texas Classroom Battle: How One State Board Fought Communist Indoctrination and Brought the Bible Back

America's top-selling economics textbook defines communism as "the most benevolent form of economic system." That single sentence sums up why Texas State Board of Education members Julie Pickren and Brandon Hall asked PJTN president Laurie Cardoza-Moore to testify as they fought a terror-linked campaign to reshape how children learn about Israel, Judaism, and American history. In this webinar, Laurie sits down with Pickren, Hall, and PJTN senior academic fellow Dr. Sandra Alfonsi to unpack what the board won, what's still ahead when high school standards return to a vote in September, and why what happens in Texas doesn't stay in Texas — it shapes curriculum for 25 other states and over 30 million schoolchildren. The conversation also turns to New York's new mayor, with Dr. Alfonsi making the case that "Commie Mamdani" undersells the real ideology at work.   This is a conversation about truth in the classroom, the return of the Bible to instructional materials, and the biblical responsibility to make sure the next generation is taught to stand with Israel, not against it.

Why Every Lawgiver Statue in Congress Stares at This One Man

There's a statue in the U.S. House of Representatives that faces one direction while 22 others stand in profile around it. It's Moses — and Ambassador Yoram Ettinger says that's not an accident. This 4th of July, we're bringing back one of our most requested conversations. Laurie Cardoza-Moore and Ettinger trace the Bible's direct fingerprints on America's founding — the Liberty Bell, the Federalist system's Hebrew roots, the Great Seal debate — and explain why most Americans were never taught any of it. The conversation closes with Ettinger's case for why the Ayatollah regime's decades-long campaign against the U.S. has never been Israel's fight alone. 👉 Follow, share, and support PJTN at pjtn.org this Independence Day. 00:00 The Moses Statue Only One Faces the Speaker 00:51 Meet Ambassador Yoram Ettinger 02:05 The Mayflower and America's Modern Exodus 04:54 The Liberty Bell's Biblical Inscription 07:16 George Washington: The American Moses 09:39 Moses Inside the Capitol and Supreme Court 14:30 Why It's Called the Federalist System 19:00 The Great Seal Debate and Haim Solomon 23:30 Why Most Americans Fail Basic Civics 25:47 Iran's 47-Year War Against America 30:25 The Ayatollah's Global Terror Network 36:10 Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda and September 11th 41:21 Nuclear Iran and US-Israel Cooperation 49:26 How to Follow Ambassador Ettinger Don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and share to help us equip more Christians to stand with Israel and fight antisemitism. ✨ Stay connected with PJTN! ✨ 🌐 Website: www.pjtn.org 📺 YouTube: YouTube.com/PJTNTV 🎙️ Subscribe to the Proclaiming Justice Podcast on: Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTubeSalem's One PlaceOr wherever you get your podcasts.

Textbook Indoctrination Exposed: The Muslim Brotherhood Influence Inside America's K-12 Schools

What is your child's history book actually teaching? In this episode of Proclaiming Justice, Laurie Cardoza-Moore sits down with Dr. William Saxton — chairman of Citizens for National Security and a veteran of the U.S. intelligence community — and Dr. Gary Newman, who became an education watchdog after his own daughter came home repeating Palestinian land narratives she had learned at school. Together they document how organizations tied to the Muslim Brotherhood embedded themselves on the editorial boards of Pearson — the publisher behind roughly 70-80% of K-12 textbooks in America — and shaped content that called Jesus a Palestinian, described Islam as the only hope for peace, and systematically minimized Christianity and Judaism. They also expose CAIR's newer strategy: bypassing textbooks altogether and entering classrooms directly under the guise of anti-bullying programs — a tactic CAIR's own national director confirmed with a chilling statement: "I'm going to use education." God's command in Joel 1:3 — to teach truth to every generation — is the mandate behind this fight. It has never been more urgent.

Qatar Is Funding the Hate on American Campuses — Why Is No One Stopping It | Dr. David Patterson

This is one of our most requested episodes — back by popular demand.Laurie Cardoza-Moore sits down with Dr. David Patterson — Hillel Feinberg Chair at the University of Texas and senior research fellow at the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism — to expose the funding, organization, and ideological justification behind the explosion of antisemitism on American college campuses in the years following October 7. Dr. Patterson traces the money to Qatar, exposes the alliance between the intellectual left and jihadist ideology, and explains why anti-Zionism is not political criticism — it is a rejection of the God who commands us to love the stranger.This conversation was recorded at NRB 2025.

Why Jews Reject Jesus as Messiah — And What the Hebrew Bible Actually Says | Yaffah Batya da Costa

This is one of our most requested episodes — back by popular demand.In this conversation, Laurie Cardoza-Moore and Rabbanit Yaffah Batya da Costa lay out the biblical foundations of the Messiah from a Jewish perspective and expose how replacement theology distorted Christian teaching for over two millennia. Drawing directly from the Hebrew Scriptures, Yaffah walks through the prophetic requirements — Davidic lineage, the regathering of Israel, the rebuilding of the Temple, worldwide peace, and universal recognition of the one God of the Hebrew Bible — and explains why the fourth-century Council of Nicaea introduced a contradiction, not a continuation, of what Scripture already established.Laurie confronts the rise of Christian antisemitism in America and calls believers back to a Hebraic, Scripture-anchored understanding of God's eternal covenant with Israel. This is essential listening for anyone seeking clarity on why this matters right now.Follow, share, and stand with us at pjtn.org.00:00 — Why Christian Antisemitism Is Surging00:48 — PJTN's Mission: Defend Biblical Truth01:22 — Replacement Theology: The Hidden Root of Jew-Hatred03:11 — Jewish Messiah 101: What Jesus Didn't Fulfill08:48 — Torah vs. Trinity: What Judaism Actually Teaches12:56 — "Can We Not Wait Together?" — A Call for Understanding22:51 — The Real Messianic Checklist (Judah, David, Anointing)30:25 — No Peace Yet: Why We're Not in the Messianic Age38:01 — Jeremiah 31: The Renewed Covenant Explained43:45 — God Is NOT Done with Israel — Christians Must Know ThisDon’t forget to subscribe, rate, and share to help us equip more Christians to stand with Israel and fight antisemitism.✨ Stay connected with PJTN! ✨🌐 Website: www.pjtn.org📺 YouTube: YouTube.com/PJTNTV🎙️ Subscribe to the Proclaiming Justice Podcast on:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTubeSalem's One PlaceOr wherever you get your podcasts.
