Hymn # 7 Pewside Perspective

We Didnt Start the Fire

Crossover episode of Pewside Perspective. Hope the listeners of the Parent Teacher Conference enjoy. Let me know what you think at pewsideperspective@gmail.com I did a thing...I was kicked out of a Middle School History Teacher's Group on Facebook. In this cross over episode with his old podcast The Parent Teacher Conference, Coach shares the reasoning for his removal (at least he thinks the reason because none was ever given) and shares how in K-12 history education the progressive view is seen as the correct view and anything that is not in support of their view is seen as "far-right". For example anything by Howard Zinn & the Zinn Institute is seen as "unbiased" and appropriate for the classroom while anything by Prager U is seen as inappropriate even though Prager U declares its conservative bias and Zinn withholds sharing its Marxist bias. The last "lyric" of the hymn, Coach shares the importance of history in the Christian faith (rather than holding a view of a "spiritual" Jesus and resurrection and the importance of it happening in real time and space) and shares how more historians are now in agreement of a historical Jesus (some support from Wes Huff and Dr. Gary Habermas below) ⁠Bill Joel's We Didnt Start the Fire MTV Video⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFTLKWw542g] ⁠Prager U TBH History on the Scientific Revolution ⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmSI6D9GSkE] ⁠Wes Huff on the Joe Rogan Podcast⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRUzQCYDz5w] ⁠Dr. Gary Habermas on the Resurrection⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ay_Db4RwZ_M⁠]

Hymn # 7 Pewside Perspective

If you liked the Parent Teacher Conference, try out Pewside Perspective, where Coach looks at a wide range of issues from a Christian perspective including educational thoughts like this episode...Hymn #7 Everyday People. On this crossover episode... On January 29th, 2025, President Trump signed the Executive order called "ENDING RADICAL INDOCTRINATION IN K-12 SCHOOLING". Many people, especially teachers, were angry. On this episode, Coach discusses 3 points from the executive order; patriotic education, gender transitioning of children without parental knowledge, and diversity, equity, and inclusion or Critical Race Theory messaging in the K-12 classroom from the perspective of a teacher, parent, and Christian. He defines terms in order to achieve understanding and shares how many people in opposition to the E.O. are creating a hyperbolic straw man rather than address reasonable concerns as presented here.

Coach uses the Seinfeld episode about Festivus to discuss the proper way to enact "The Airing of Grievances" & how our alway affirming never criticizing culture is to no one's benefit. One example he uses is from the world of sports to show that in some venues, we see the value in being critical. Coach discusses the negative of avoiding providing consequences to children and students that has become popular among experts in parenting and eduction.

Preview Mixtape Manifest

Hello listeners of the Parent Teacher Conference Podcast, here is a clip of what Im working on for my next podcast endeavor, The Mixtape Manifest I explain the reason for the name in what I plan to be the first 10 minutes of the first episode. Mixtape was an item that identifies me with the experience of growing up in Generation X, but it also reflects the seemingly random events of life, where you search for meaning and purpose that we know a good mixtape has.
