The Nicki Truesdell Podcast

Paul Brown/Wasson Watch podcast
 
“The watch company that knows what time it is. ABOLISH ABORTION. PAX AMERICANA. SOLI DEO GLORIA. Micah 6:8 - Genesis 1:28 - 2 Chronicles 7:14”
 
My guest is a homeschool dad, a Marine combat veteran, intelligence analyst, and entrepreneur whose life has been defined by a commitment to truth — whether on the battlefield, in the halls of power, or in the public square. He served honorably in the United States Marines Corps, deploying to Iraq, and went on to conduct intelligence analysis at the Defense Intelligence Agency and anti-money laundering work for a major financial institution. His name is Paul Brown, and He is the founder of Wasson Watch Co. He has become known for speaking candidly on some of the most consequential issues of our time — faith, politics, abortion, anti semitism, immigration, and war.

As homeschooling grows at a rapid pace, we are witnessing a growing demand for free money, free materials, free activities to make it easier. In addition to that, we are watching state governments increase their demands on homeschooling parents in the name of “protection” and “academic rigor.”

The freedom to educate your children at home is such a basic right, but it is really controversial in many circles, especially those who view government as the giver of liberty. Homeschool freedom has only existed for the past 30-40 years in America, and with growth has come more threats to that freedom.

Today’s show is about education freedom and education subsidies. I’m joined by Lauren Gideon of Education Independence to discuss the current threats to homeschool freedom and what we can do about it.
