Episode Details

Heard Tell for Wednesday, February 17th, 2022 is turning down the noise and getting to the information we need about the developing crisis in Ukraine, as Vladimir Putin announces that Russia will "recognize" two regions of Ukraine as independent and send in "peacekeepers" that are anything but. We talk the background, how this is an invasion of Ukraine under pretense, how world leaders are responding, and how the usual paradigms of foreign policy and politics don't apply to what Putin is doing here. Also, former president Trump's long promised social media platform Truth Social became available over the President's Day holiday, but not everything went according to plan. We skip the caterwauling and cover how recent history and examples should make everyone very skeptical of Truth Social's staying power and success. Guest Kenneth Schrupp of Young Voices joins us to discussion education in America, education funding, school choice, means testing education savings accounts, and how the students stuck at the poorest performing schools don't have a chance with the status quo going unchanged. We also talk about how the education dynamic is changing post-COVID, online school, charter schools, privates schools, and misunderstandings about the true cost of public education. All that and more on this Tuesday Edition of Heard Tell.
