Exposing Educational Indoctrination: How Teachers Unions, Political Money & Public Schools Collude

"Don't be surprised when you send your kids to Caesar and they come back as Romans." If you're paying $20,000 a year per student in the American public school system — that's 60% more than the average private school tuition — and getting reading and math scores that have declined for decades, somebody is making out at your expense. Corey DeAngelis has spent his career documenting exactly who.   In this episode of Disturbing the Peace, Stephen Davis sits in for John Amanchukwu to host one of the most credentialed voices in education reform in America. Corey DeAngelis — PhD in education policy from the University of Arkansas, national bestselling author of The Parent Revolution: Rescuing Your Kids from the Radicals Ruining Our Schools, executive director at the Educational Freedom Institute, and the man called "the most effective school choice advocate since Milton Friedman" — walks through what's actually going on inside the American public school system and the union machine that's run it for a hundred years.   Corey breaks down the money flow: Randi Weingarten of the American Federation of Teachers makes over $500,000 a year. Becky Pringle of the NEA makes the same. Ninety-nine percent of teachers union donations go to one political party every election cycle. Weingarten just funneled $1.4 million toward her own vanity book project from teachers' dues. She has been openly bragging on internal calls about leveraging her union's pension stake in Target to bully the company's executives on immigration policy — a probable breach of fiduciary duty that Corey argues Congress should investigate immediately.   Then he tells the story most Americans don't know: how Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona is leading a bill to kill President Trump's nationwide school choice program (which 31 states have already signed up for, including Democrat governors like Jared Polis in Colorado and Kathy Hochul in New York). Corey looked up Mark Kelly's 34 co-sponsors and found that at least half either attended private school themselves or send their kids to one. "Pulling up the ladder behind themselves." School choice for me, not for thee.   🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

How CRT Is Destroying The West And Why The Left Keeps Pushing It

Dr. Carol M. Swain went from rural Virginia poverty and dropping out of high school to earning five college degrees, becoming a tenured professor at both Princeton and Vanderbilt, authoring 13 books, and receiving the 2025 Frederick Douglass Lifetime Achievement Award. Today she is one of the most credentialed and fearless critics of critical race theory in America. Her book Black Eye for America: How Critical Race Theory Is Burning Down the House — co-authored with America First Education's Christopher Schorr — is essential reading for any parent, pastor, or citizen who wants to understand what's actually being taught in American schools right now. In this episode of Disturbing the Peace, Minister Stephen David sits in for John Amanchukwu to host an extended conversation with Dr. Swain about critical race theory's Marxist roots, why schools deny they teach it while teaching it under different names ("cultural competency," "anti-racism," "DEI"), who Derrick Bell was and why he matters as the godfather of CRT, and how this ideology is causing measurable damage to the Black community in the name of helping it.   Dr. Swain explains why the Smithsonian's now-infamous "whiteness chart" labeled individualism, hard work, planning for the future, and being on time as "white values" — and what that signal does to young Black Americans who are being told that the very habits that lead to success are racially coded against them. She walks through the destructive cycle of hostility toward law enforcement that is driving real consequences for Black youth, why some elected officials like Jasmine Crockett perform "blackness" for media attention while knowing better, and why she believes there should be no Black Caucus, Hispanic Caucus, or any racial caucus in Congress. Then in the second half of the episode, Stephen takes the audience through a deep-dive analysis of CRT's actual texts and theorists — Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic's foundational Critical Race Theory: An Introduction, Derrick Bell's Faces at the Bottom of the Well, the Ibram X. Kendi anti-racism framework, and Robin DiAngelo's claim that focusing on merit "keeps racism in place." He plays the viral clip from a Black community member declaring that "the white man is going to lie, going to steal, going to kill, not to be trusted" — and shows how that mindset is the direct downstream effect of CRT's worldview being taught to a generation.   The episode closes with the response: Booker T. Washington's eternal observation that "merit, no matter under what skin found, will in the long run be recognized and rewarded," and Frederick Douglass's reminder that "with character we shall be powerful — nothing can harm us long." The path forward is colorblindness, individualism, and merit. Not race-coded equity.   🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

Michelle Obama Meltdown, Condom Christianity & Texas Rangers Rebuke Pride Month

John is back behind the mic on Disturbing the Peace with two guests who deliver substantive conversation across the full week's news cycle. First, Samara Brown — Senior Policy Advisor at the Center for Renewing America, eight-year Capitol Hill veteran, formerly Domestic Policy Advisor to Senator Ted Cruz — joins from Washington with the latest on the Trump-Iran 60-day ceasefire MOU, the Save America Act voter-ID legislation that has twice passed the House but keeps dying in the Senate, the legislative filibuster blocking the Republican agenda, and what's actually preventing Congress from passing the policies voters elected them to pass. Then, Pastor James E. Ward Jr. — author, founder of America Zero Victim Pastor, and one of the sharpest theological voices in the Black conservative space — joins for an extended conversation covering four major cultural stories. Michelle Obama's "immigrants are the heartbeat of America" comments — and Pastor Ward's biblical response showing why the framing is not just politically off but theologically wrong from the Abrahamic covenant forward. The Obama Presidential Center scandal — Omar Sharif of the African American Contract Association reports that Black contractors who built Barack Obama's library have allegedly not been paid, with some now facing bankruptcy, mortgage default, and being shut out of future contracts. Pastor Ward unpacks the bitter irony of the face of "Black struggle theology" presiding over Black contractors being financially destroyed — and connects it to the same Chicago dynamic where $5 billion went to immigrants while Black residents protested housing crises. The viral "Condom Christianity" pastor — a sermon clip going around social media in which a pastor uses an analogy John can't quite believe he's hearing. Pastor Ward delivers the theological correction this kind of cultural-Christianity moment demands, including the 2 Timothy 4 framework on sound doctrine, why every accountable pastor needs spiritual fathers in his life, and why we don't need this kind of "relevance." The Texas Rangers choosing Faith and Family Day over Pride Night — and the San Francisco Giants players who wore Genesis 9 on their hats during the Giants' pride celebration. Real wins, real courage, real biblical witness in professional sports. The episode closes on a Father's Day-aligned conversation about the deeper crisis: not just deadbeat dads, but the worn-down faithful fathers who walked away from contentious homes where they couldn't function as biblical heads. Pastor Ward shares insights from prison ministry — incarcerated men who tell him directly "I'm here because I did what I saw my dad doing" — and the vision required to rebuild marriage and family in the Black community.    🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

Gifted But Going Nowhere? Why So Many People Never Reach Their Potential

Why do some people maximize their God-given potential while others spend decades stuck? Why do believers who've been in church for ten or more years still struggle with the same things they wrestled with a decade ago? And why has comfort culture become one of the biggest obstacles to spiritual growth in the American church? In this episode of Disturbing the Peace, Minister Tommy Arbuckle sits in for John Amanchukwu to host a wide-ranging coaching conversation with Darryl Brown — founder of Jumpstart Coaching and Development, Bible teacher, mentor, and a man who has spent years coaching individuals, leaders, families, and young people through the obstacles preventing them from becoming everything God designed them to be.   Together, Tommy and Darryl walk through four major conversations. First, the crisis of potential. Why having ability doesn't change anything — the will to act does. Darryl explains his "inside-out" framework for coaching, why gifted people often misunderstand their actual assignment, and the difference between knowing your gift and knowing the unique purpose attached to it.   Second, spiritual stagnation in the church. Why believers attend services, hear sermons, and serve in ministry for years without measurable spiritual growth — and the difference between getting fed by leaders and being trained to feed yourself. They unpack Hebrews 5:12 ("by this time you ought to be teachers"), Ephesians 4 leadership for equipping the body, and the "feed me, feed me" culture that produces dependence instead of maturity.   Third, the comfort culture crisis. Why pursuit of comfort has become the greatest obstacle to spiritual growth, what Tommy learned about his daughter when she said "I don't like this being poor thing" after leaving the family home, and the Abraham parallel for the believer God is currently asking to move out of the familiar.   Fourth, purpose — discovered or developed? Both, Darryl says. He walks through why purpose typically reveals itself through the things you do that nobody asks you to do, and Tommy shares the powerful moment God spoke to him about his daughter's constant spinning — "I've created her to dance" — and how that revelation changed how he and his wife parented her. That daughter now serves as a prolific anointed worshiper in dance. Tommy closes with the message every believer needs to hear: God has not called you to merely exist. He's called you to become everything He created you to be.   🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

The State Of The Father! w/Bishop Patrick L. Wooden, Sr.

Bishop Wooden saw his biological father only twice in his entire life. The first time, in a yellow Camaro with arms full of tattoos and a cigar a mile long. The second time, years later, the muscles were gone but the suit was sharp — heroin had taken its toll. Both times, Bishop Wooden didn't even feel safe enough to say "that's my dad." Today, Bishop Wooden is John Amanchukwu's father-in-law. He's also senior pastor of Upper Room Church of God in Christ in Raleigh, North Carolina, Bishop and Jurisdictional Prelate of the North Carolina Third Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction, and the man who told John years ago to throw away every Baptist preaching tape he owned and become a warrior preacher instead. In this deeply personal Father's Day conversation on Disturbing the Peace, John sits down with the man who shaped him for one of the most honest fatherhood conversations you'll hear.   Bishop Wooden walks through the men God sent when his biological father wouldn't show up — Elder James Turner, his pastor, who on his deathbed lifted himself up and said the four words Bishop had never heard from any man: "You know you're my son, don't you?" And Coach Hal Stewart at Richmond County, who put Black players on the offensive line in the 1970s, lost his job over it, and refused to apologize.   They cover the validation a fatherless boy never receives, the moment his cousin Ricky told him to go back and fight the kid who beat him up (because that's what a father would have said), the free-lunch-line moment in 11th grade that became the reason he made sure his own kids never had to stand in that line, the karate demonstration where his son broke the board and looked into the audience for him, and his answer to every man who wonders if his children are worth staying for.   Bishop's pastoral charge for every child watching this Sunday wondering why their father didn't stay: "It wasn't that you weren't worth staying for. It's not you. You have a heavenly Father who cares for you. Don't let this day turn you into a perpetual victim." And his charge for every father watching: "This is how I got even. I didn't want Crystal and Patrick to feel what I felt. They didn't. That was a catharsis. You beat the devil by providing for someone what was not provided for you."   Watch, share with a man who needs to hear it, and drop your honest take below.
