Episode #015 - A Conversation with Rebecca Friedrichs

Those who watched our conversation live with with Rebecca Friedrichs on October 9, 2020, were impressed by her courage, knowledge, and motivation to positively impact the schools in our country. As a twenty-eight-year public school teacher, she was forced to fund unions whose politics and divisive tactics degraded her profession, our schools, and our national character. Her lawsuit, Friedrichs v California Teachers' Association, which sought to free teachers from forced unionism, was argued before the U.S. Supreme Court in 2016. Poised to rule 5-4 in Rebecca's favor, the Court suddenly deadlocked after the sudden passing of Justice Scalia. Determined to stop state and national teachers’ unions from destroying our schools and American values, and sensing that millions of like-minded supporters were stunned and discouraged, Rebecca refused to give up. Her book, Standing Up to Goliath, told through dozens of powerful personal accounts, is Rebecca’s expose of bully unions. Rebecca also founded For Kids and Country a national movement of parents, teachers, students, faith leaders, and citizens uniting to restore our schools and culture.
