Chad Lehrmann Authorcast
Tackling issues in culture, education, independent authorship, and the occasional urban legend, this podcast has it all. Chats with Chad segments are more lighthearted and fun discussions of things going in his author and teaching journeys. Didactic Cafe segments are dealing with ethical and moral issues in education and the world in general. Culture Cuts feature book and movie reviews as well as diving into cultural controversies and touchstones of the moment. And finally, Urban Legends Unmasked look at local and state legends from around the United states, and the lessons (or warnings) they have for us.

Didactic Cafe: Indoctrination- It Doesn't Mean What You Think It Does
"Public schools are indoctrinating our kids."
Yep. They are. But did you know indoctrination means teaching? Oh, you meant forcing ideologies on kids that support partisan or specific beliefs? Like pledging allegiance to the flag?
Oh, you meant indoctrinating students on things you disagree with! Well, is it okay if we indoctrinate them on things you do agree with?
If you don't see the irony there, then maybe this podcast isn't for you.
