We also explore various political figures and their potential roles in future administrations, including a humorous mention of Norm's joke about progressive women avoiding relationships with conservative men.

We have critiques of political bias in education, the repercussions of political statements by school principals, and the broader challenges facing educators today.

From reflections on the Articles of Confederation to the potential appointment of disruptive figures like Matt Gaetz, this episode promises a thorough analysis of current events.
