The American Mind’s Tell Me What You Really Think is a daily interview series featuring the host, Spencer Klavan, and The American Mind’s publisher and editors aimed at dissecting the issues facing us in America today and finding out what the cast really thinks.
In this installment of TMWYRT, Ryan Williams, president of the Claremont Institute, sits down with Spencer to discuss the introduction of cameras in schools as a tactic to combat increasingly radical teachers. What other kinds of tactics can be used going forward, and what can parents do to keep their kids away from these teachings? Plus: Should the right adopt a Saul Alinsky style approach to this fight?

I was raised with the expectation that once out of my home anything and everything could appear on the front page of the next day's newspaper so be aware of that when you speak and act. In particular, I was told that when in school I would be...and SHOULD be...under scrutiny. I don't think teachers need body-cams; I think that every area of every school should have camera (with sound) coverage; it improves enforcing order and discipline and helps resolve questions of behavior in disciplinary cases, as well as threat avoidance from outsiders. CRT is harmful to inner city and other schools with minority attendance as it seems to validate acting out against anyone not a minority to an immature audience. The study in Law School was not about being correct or factual so much as it was about tactics that could be used to frame a matter so as to win. That has nothing to do with valid study or schooling.
Children should not be video taped. Therefore I believe most definitely audio in the classroom is the way to hold educators accountable and it should be readily available to parents at the end of every school day.
