Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
Long before Common Core, conservatives crusaded against progressive education reforms–and historian Adam Laats tells their tale in, 
“The Other School Reformers: Conservative Activism in American Education.”
In a 10-minute podcast with The Bookmonger, Laats describes a 1974 school boycott in West Virginia, plus other examples of grassroots rebellion. We also discuss why so many historians have overlooked the role of conservatives in school policy, why a non-conservative like Laats took an interest in them, and what today’s conservative education reformers can learn from the experiences of their predecessors.

Sounds very interesting. I’ve been listening to your podcasts for years, I’ve even bought some of the books.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks for listening! The audio is better than ever, now that we’re working with Ricochet.
