Ep. 59 - America's Public Schools - Erika Holzer Interview

America's public schools need improvement. Political ideologies and teachers' union corruption are harming America's children. There is no quick fix because of the interconnected components of education and society, but we have to start somewhere. Erika Holzer joins me to discuss her public school experience, what has gone wrong, and what can be done to improve the public school education system.

Brian Kletter

I was born and raised in Florida, and currently reside in Orlando! I grew up in a Christian household, and accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior when I was 8 years old then renewed my relationship with Him when I moved to Orlando almost 10 years ago. I am a 2x graduate of the University of Florida--there was never a question if I was going to attend anywhere else! I bleed Orange and Blue. Sports has always been a passion of mine, however, I made room for this podcast to be a new passion as I fight for the freedom, culture and values of America. I hope you enjoy!
