An exciting true story that features real life testimonies of teachers, parents, and kids, as well as political and social commentary, Rebecca\u2019s journey leads her to the realization that the only hope for America\u2019s schools and families is returning authority to parents and teachers while lessening the grip of state and national unions that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Promote a culture of fear and bully teachers and parents into silence.<\/li>\n<li>Undermine parents\u2019 authority by sexually, socially, and politically indoctrinating kids.<\/li>\n<li>Use the apple-pie image of the PTA as a \u201cfront\u201d to promote a partisan agenda.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These insights and more led Rebecca and nine other teachers to the US Supreme Court where their case, <i>Friedrichs v California Teachers Association, et al<\/i>., sought to restore the First Amendment rights of all teachers and government employees. They argued no one should be forced to pay fees to abusive, politically driven unions, and were poised to change the very landscape of American education\u2014until tragedy struck.<\/p>\n<p>Saddened but unbowed, Rebecca started a national movement, <i>For Kids and Country,<\/i> leading the charge of servant leaders who believe Judeo-Christian values (including kindness) and restoration of the teaching profession\u2014possible\u00a0only by rejecting state and national unions and forming \u201clocal only\u201d associations\u2014are the answers to America\u2019s woes.
