‘If a student asks me something about Christ, the Bible, Scripture, I answer them.’ “I’ll do that all day long.” @LibertyGrad1982 doesn’t shirk his duty to THE truth as a public school teacher. Hear his powerful story this week on the #FindingYourSpine podcast. @HerzogEducation @ThinkFreedom4 LITC

Thank you, Dr. Spears!
He was placed under investigation for teaching about America’s founding values, contrasted against the evils of communism. But @LibertyGrad1982 refused to be intimidated, nor stand down. #FindingYourSpine podcast @HerzogEducation @ThinkFreedom4 LITC

To my Horizon High School seniors, Tomorrow, you walk across the stage and begin a brand new chapter in your lives. I truly wish I could be there with each of you to celebrate this moment, because you have been an incredible group of students, and it has been an honor to be your teacher. As you move forward into college, careers, the military, trade schools, or wherever life takes you, I hope there is one thing you carry with you from my class above all else: the understanding that there is absolutely nothing you cannot accomplish when you learn to think for yourself. The critical thinking skills we worked on this year were never just about passing a class or memorizing information. They were about giving you the confidence to ask questions, stand firm in your beliefs, seek truth, and make decisions for yourselves instead of allowing others to do your thinking for you. Faith in yourself, combined with the ability to think independently, is something no one can ever take away from you. Many of you know how strongly I believe in freedom of thought and the rights of students to stand up for what they believe in. I have always believed that your voices matter, your principles matter, and your futures matter. Never be afraid to stand for truth, defend your convictions respectfully, and think beyond what the world tells you to believe. I am absolutely confident that every single one of you has the potential to be successful in life. Success will look different for each of you, but I have no doubt that you are capable of achieving incredible things. You are stronger, smarter, and more capable than you probably even realize right now. I also want to thank all of the supportive parents and families who encouraged and guided you along the way. I know how proud they are of you, and I hope you know that I share that same pride and confidence in who you are becoming. Congratulations, Class of 2026. Never stop learning, never stop questioning, and never stop believing in yourselves. I’m proud of all of you. Mr. Loggans @alicia_farrant @INDIO_RADIO @AnthonySabatini @ryanelijah @erinbethhuntley

Thank you to everyone who has supported Quiet Courage in the Classroom. I’m incredibly grateful to share that the book has now sold over 1,000 copies. What began as one teacher’s story has become part of a much larger conversation about education, courage, conviction, and the future of America’s youth. Thank you for reading, sharing, and supporting these important conversations. @INDIO_RADIO @DanaLoeschRadio @DrChaseSpears @KristineP25 @EngelJones

This is so ridiculous! FEA is trying to blame the department of education for failing public schools. If we could get rid of the corrupt teachers unions and stop protecting bad teachers, the quality of public school education would greatly improve. floridapolitics.com/archives…

This is a huge win for Florida teachers. I’ve been complaining about this for years, how the unions hold up our money while telling us they are fighting for us. We need to defund these corrupt unions. Then all we have to worry about are the corrupt school districts.
🚨BREAKING: Governor Ron DeSantis just signed a major bill to hold teachers’ unions accountable in Florida!🚨 No more automatic power. Unions now need 50% of members voting in support with a 50% quorum just to get recertified. Taxpayer-funded union time for political activities? BANNED. Florida is putting parents and students first — not union bosses. This is what real education reform looks like. 🇺🇸 #DeSantis #Florida #TeachersUnions #EducationReform #ParentRights #SchoolChoice #MAGA

Florida’s 7th District deserves leadership with integrity, faith, and strong conservative values. Mills does not deliver any of that. Ryan Elijah stands for the principles we believe in. Faith, family, and freedom. @ryanelijah @alicia_farrant @INDIO_RADIO @DLoesch @DrChaseSpears @kevincorke
Awesome launch to our campaign. Fundraising is critical to start, here is a link to the site. Would love your support! elijahforcongress.com

It’s nice to know Orange County School District appreciates their teachers so much (sarcasm). The administration brought sodas and cookies to our classroom for teacher appreciation. 😂 I wonder where all the money goes 🤔@MikeTheObserver @INDIO_RADIO

This is a snapshot of what the left intends to do to everyone who won't bend the knee. Operation Take their Livelihood. We dare not allow the orcs to have this hill.
This is a travesty. John represented the President in litigation challenging an election. That’s all. He lied about nothing. Reasonable minds can disagree about the 2020 election. He did what lawyers are supposed to do — represent disfavored individuals. And make no mistake, the elites, especially in bar apparatuses, disfavor and hate President Trump and anyone associated with him with a burning passion. No one representing Vice President Gore was disbarred for losing Bush v. Gore where the whole partial county-specific recount strategy Democrat lawyers devised there was ruled an unconstitutional violation of equal protection. Two-tiered system of justice and of bar discipline. Pray for John and his family and that John will speedily take his case to the U.S. Supreme Court and that they will grant cert and reverse this absolute nonsense.

The secret has been exposed! Teachers Unions are training teachers to brainwash our children into being activists for Liberal causes. This must be stopped. #DefundTeachersUnions

I’m stepping out of my comfort zone a bit to share something that means a lot to me. I’m working to fund the first Freedom to Think Project student scholarship, with the goal of awarding $5,000 to a deserving high school student this August. This scholarship is for students who demonstrate thoughtful engagement, a love for their country, and a respect for the rights and responsibilities we all share. Right now, we’re just getting started, so I’m asking for a little help. If you feel led to support this effort, any amount truly makes a difference. Even small contributions help us move closer to making this opportunity possible for a student. If you’re not able to donate, simply liking, commenting, or sharing this post would mean a lot and help us reach others. Thank you for taking a moment to read this and for supporting students and education. freedomtothinkproject.com

The First Amendment essays are coming in from across the U.S., it’s been incredibly encouraging to read them. The next generation is more thoughtful and engaged than many people realize.

School board FREAKS OUT after a girl passes out a copy of the Constitution to all of them. The crowd really backs the girl. Stuff gets CRAZY.

There has been a lot of confusion recently about prayer in public schools, and teachers being able to pray during school hours especially here in Orange County, Florida🧵

Students have always had the right to pray, individually or in groups, as long as participation is voluntary. That hasn’t changed. What the recent guidance emphasizes is that students and TEACHERS do not lose their First Amendment rights when they enter a public school building.

Students should know they are free to express their faith and teachers should know they may live according to their beliefs, not just outside school hours.
 Protecting religious freedom means protecting the freedom to think, something worth defending.
