Overthrowing Education Protecting Students From Toxic Influencers
This episode is important for parents and educators to listen to. In it, my special guest – a teenage boy - and I dig deep into the ever increasing problem of teens and pre-teens being influenced by toxic people and dangerous messages online.
The most popular is Andrew Tate whose sexist and misogynistic views are couched between advice that many teen boys find empowering. How do we deal with his and other toxic influencers' bile as educators and/or parents?
Special thanks to my very special guest, Tuvia, and my awesome fauxmercial voice actor, Jake Miller.
