In this interview with The New American magazine’s Alex Newman, former public-school teacher Jennifer McWilliams explains how her Indiana district fired her for standing up for children and parents. The founder of Indiana’s chapter of Purple for Parents, McWilliams began exposing some of the “Social and Emotional Learning” (SEL) and especially the “Leader in Me” program that was being used in her school. She also questioned the union-backed “Red for Ed,” which was using teachers on school time to protest for leftist goals. In response, education officials called her a “far-right conspiracy theorist” and forced her out of her job. Now, McWilliams is sounding the alarm about what is happening in America’s public schools.
