Meet the educator teaching 'boys to be men' who woke leftists accuse of teaching 'whiteness'



Young men in America are increasingly desperate for positive role models as immoral celebrities and athletes so often take center stage.

King Randall is a young man who realized that needed to change and took action by founding the Life Preparatory School for Boys based in Georgia when he was just 19 years old.

Recently, Randall released a video showing these young men the proper etiquette for eating dinner, which included which utensils to use. Now, he’s being accused by the woke mob of teaching boys how to be white.

“He was accused of teaching the young boys how to be white rather than how to eat properly at dinner,” Jason Whitlock scoffs.

And he doesn’t just teach kids how to eat properly.

“We’ve been teaching kids how to work on cars, work on houses such as changing oil, changing brakes, reading — because that’s a big issue where we live,” Randall tells Whitlock.

“We have some of the lowest test scores and reading scores in our state, and that’s a huge issue for us. So, that’s why I started my own school,” Randall adds.

While many graduates of the school have become impressive success stories, keeping the school open has been an uphill battle for Randall.

“We’ve been battling you know, people as well as our city government trying to keep our school open, but you know, we’re still making it happen,” he explains.

Is THIS the most dangerous university in America?



There’s no doubt that higher education has been infiltrated by ideology — more specifically, by leftist ideology. However, Patrick Gray believes that higher education can be saved — and the University of Austin is a prime example.

The University of Austin is a new school that has proclaimed a dedication to freedom of thought and discourse. The school was co-founded by ex-New York Times journalist Bari Weiss.

Gray, who will be a professor at the school, tells James Poulos of "Zero Hour" just why he has faith in it.

“We’ve been overwhelmed by student response. We’ve brought in students from super high-end institutions — you know, Oxford, the Sorbonne, Harvard, you know, Yale — coming in wanting to take classes with us,” he tells Poulos.

The school will offer classes called “Forbidden Courses,” which will focus on classes that your average institution wouldn’t offer.

Gray offers an example of one of the courses, which is on science and religion. He explains that the course delves into whether the two can be reconciled, what they have in common, and how they’ve influenced each other over time.

Other courses include questions about reactionaries, the biology of gender, and conservatism.

Poulos is curious how academics like Gray plan to “protect” students “without just kind of getting sucked into 'safe space' culture all over again.”

“When we look at kind of the very rapid rise of a quasi-totalitarian identity politics throughout universities, that is a response to a vacuum, a power vacuum, and a lack of direction,” Gray explains. “Rather than saying we’re going to guarantee that anyone is free to do absolutely anything, total freedom of expression, we are going to have a clearly defined mission.”

Gray says the school plans to make sure that mission is not political.

“Our mission is to arrive at the truth.”

Gen Z rebels against woke teachers: 'My pronouns are USA!'



Maybe Gen Z isn’t as woke as we think. While the age group is certainly associated with liberal ideology, some are taking a stand in a very bold way.

Lauren Chen is encouraged by the recent happenings in a Massachusetts middle school, where students pre-planned a protest during a Pride celebration.

Students who took part in the protest dressed in red, white, and blue while they chanted, “My pronouns are U.S.A.!” They also tore down the Pride decorations in the hallway in response to feeling forced to participate in activism that is “by nature exclusionary,” according to Chen.

She affirms the students’ decision to “focus on their American identity, which includes all Americans, including LGBT ones.”

“That’s kind of brilliant,” she says, and totally “within the vein of civil disobedience.”

In response to the protest, the superintendent wrote, “Burlington Public Schools believe in the individual dignity and humanity of each and every person in our community. We embrace everyone for who they are and for what they bring to our schools and larger community.”

“Nice words,” Chen says, “but the thing is that the superintendent didn’t seem to care so much about being kind and embracing everybody when he essentially, or his school essentially, told straight students that they don’t exist and are certainly less worthy of being celebrated than their LGBT counterparts.”

What Chen is referring to is a Tennessee Williams quote that was displayed in the school that read: “What is straight? A line can be straight, or a street, but the human heart, oh, no, it’s curved like a road through mountains.”

“Kind of seems like they’re saying no one is straight, which is outright not true,” Chen says.

It’s not just American students who are speaking out. Across the pond, tension tied to the LGBTQ+ movement is just as common. Chen plays a recording of a conversation between a student and teacher in a U.K. school. You won’t believe what this educator says. Watch the full video here.
