A Young Woman’s Journey from Indoctrinated Liberal to True Independent

Alessandra Maria Lavallee joins Kim to share her background and her journey from an indoctrinated liberal to a true independent. When Lavallee was a child her conservative family moved to Denver, and Lavallee was accepted into the Denver School of the Arts.

At the Denver of  School of the Arts, Lavallee was persuaded that she, and her privilege, were at the root of society’s problems. After graduation Lavallee was paid by Planned Parenthood to go door-to-door to register people to vote for Barack Obama during Obama’s first presidential campaign.

Lavallee’s political compass changed after witnessing the media’s characterization of the January 6th, 2021 election protests. She realized that the media’s narrative was in service of an agenda and not the truth.

Listen to Lavallee’s full story in segments three and four of today’s broadcast.

Bill Jack, Candidate for House District 45


Bill Jack is running to represent Castle Rock in the State House. Jack, who has a background as an educator and is a co-founder of Worldview Academy, is seeking to restore values that he has seen diminished in his lifetime. From Jack’s campaign website:

“I have no political aspirations other than to guard the liberty of Castle Rock citizens and the citizens of Colorado. I am not a politician, but a father and citizen who has seen the demise of liberty in my lifetime and want to defend what remains, restore what has been lost, and build a legacy of freedom for my children, grandchildren and the citizens of Colorado.”

Learn more about Jack in segment two of today’s show. You can also find out more about Jack and his campaign on his website. Go here to donate to Jack’s campaign.

Bill of the Day HB22-1206, Prohibit Discriminatory Practices in Schools

Bill summary:

The bill prohibits teaching or using instructional materials at public schools that promote discrimination.

The bill prohibits public schools from certain discriminatory practices based on a student’s, student’s family, or teacher’s race or ethnicity.

The bill creates a $25,000 fine to be paid by the school district of the public school, or by the state charter school institute in the case of an institute charter school, to the state education fund if the commissioner of education finds that a public school knowingly violates a prohibition.

The bill waives sovereign immunity and creates a civil action against a public school and the school district or board of cooperative services or the state charter school institute that violates a prohibition.

HB22-1206, Prohibit Discriminatory Practices in Schools is sponsored by Republican State Representative Dave Williams. The bill’s stated goal to prohibit the teaching or dissemination of materials that promote discrimination is enforced through a hefty $25,000 fine. Is the fine appropriate? And if so, who defines discrimination? The bill seems well-intentioned, but perhaps not the right solution to the problem it seeks to solve.
