À propos de cet audio
In this powerful premiere episode of Raising Them Right, host Monica Yatooma sits down with Shayna Levin, a Michigan mom-turned-school board member who went from volunteering in classrooms to fighting behind the scenes for transparency, accountability, and parental rights in public education.
Shayna pulls back the curtain on what really happens inside school boards, why good teachers are afraid to speak out, and how parents can hold administrators accountable, even without a title. Her journey is raw, bold, and deeply relatable for anyone who’s ever felt frustrated with the state of public education.
This is more than a personal story, it’s a roadmap for conservative parents and advocates looking to protect their kids, reclaim their schools, and restore common sense to classrooms.
