While claiming NPR isn't propaganda, some employees are spreading propaganda.
NPR gets roughly 10-12% of its funding from government at all levels. That's without accounting for taxpayer funded university funding of NPR. They don't get just the 2% federal number claimed.
This is the PHM high school student handbook proposed changes for next year. The school board will have first reading of these proposed revisions publicly this coming Monday. On May 20, the board will vote to approve potential changes.

A recent district-wide email went out to PHM employees notifying them that current DEI officer, Derrick White, will leave that post and take over as Director of Alternative Education and Special Projects starting on July 1. This leaves the PHM DEI officer position open and vacant. I wrote about this change recently.
In my previous article, I wrote that PHM is eliminating the DEI officer position. People took issue with my using the word ‘eliminate’ because the board hasn’t voted to officially eliminate it yet, and may not vote to do so. This was a fair criticism. However, numerous sources inside PHM tell me there are no plans to fill the DEI officer position in PHM. This would effectively leave the position open indefinitely and it would only remain in derelict status. Given that DEI is being rolled back all over the country right now due to political pressure, I can see this position remaining vacant and effectively being eliminated. Arguing over semantics about whether a perpetually vacant position is actually ‘eliminated’ seems like a waste of time and energy. My sources say the position won’t be filled. If that changes, I’ll tell you.
In 2023, DEI jobs fell 5%, and so far they are down 8% in 2024. 30 states have introduced legislation to ban DEI in public education at all levels. Many have succeeded and DEI is being rolled back in many states. In last years Indiana legislative session, HB 1338 would have effectively banned DEI in Indiana education. It didn’t pass, but SB 202 did pass in the 2024 session. DEI has become politically toxic and is in retreat in the corporate world as well as public education.
Now, that doesn’t mean the battle is won. As I’ve highlighted on the show for many years, DEI, CRT, etc. are hidden within other programs like SEL. Just because PHM appears to be leaving the DEI officer post vacant and striking DEI language from the high school student handbook doesn’t mean the tenets of DEI are going away. A point highlighted by Accuracy In Media’s deep-dive investigation into Indiana public schools hiding DEI and CRT from not only parents and the public, but from school boards as well.
Alternative media, activists, and parent groups pushing back against DEI are effectively driving it underground but the fight is long from over.
The political action committee of ReCenter Indiana endorsed Brad Chambers for the 2024 Republican nomination for governor.
This comes after the group last week announced an ad campaign urging Democrats to vote Republican in the primary to get a more moderate governor nominee.
Thank you @foxfriendsfirst for shining a light on this serious issue. De-banking customers because of their religious or political beliefs is not only unamerican, but also potentially illegal. You shouldn't call yourself Bank of America when your business practices undermine… pic.twitter.com/KsSfMbo2QV
