6:35 Inez Stepman, Senior Policy Analyst with the Independent Women’s Forum chats with Bill. Today we discuss serious ideological bias in government school.
As seen via The Daily Caller
Why Students Need An Escape Hatch From Public Schools
California’s new ethnic studies curriculum is making national headlines. The state’s overhaul is heavy on academic social justice gobbledygook like “cis-heteropatriarchy” and, with its placement of capitalism alongside hateful ideologies like white supremacy, short on truth.
If you’re a parent thinking, “This stuff happens in deep-blue states like California and New Jersey, but it doesn’t happen in my red state, or my child’s school,” think again. In Chandler, Arizona, students were suspended following a demand from the school that they remove their MAGA gear. In Texas, education board commissioner Mike Morath has introduced a recommendation that sex ed begin in Kindergarten. In Alabama, middle schoolers in the Gadsden City School District were selected into “privileged/white people” and “oppressed/black” groups for a series of activities that parents complained led to increased bullying.

7:35 Filmmaker Vede Seeteram chats with Bill this morning.
Vede’s Kickstarter to support production of Man Down: A Closer Look at Family court is here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/892830846/man-down-a-closer-look-at-family-court?ref=project_build#
Vede Seeterram, is a Canadian/Trinidadian filmmaker who has attended UCLA Extension, New York Film Academy and Langara College, as well as attended the Cannes Film Festival and the American Film Market on 3 occasions as a distributor.
Is there a bias against men in family courts?
How does this system hurt families
and our society?
What really goes on in family court — the friendly-sounding name for divorce court?
For many men, the prospect has become so fearsome they are turning their backs on getting married in the first place — and avoiding what they see as the bear trap of long-term commitment to women, kids, and family.
Especially younger men.
There’s even an acronym for it — MGTOW.
Men Going Their Own Way.
It’s grassroots and YouTube’d blowback against a culture and court system that seems to be stacked against men simply because they are men.
Especially men who are fathers.
But what’s the actuality behind the closed doors of family court? And if the deck is stacked against men, why is it stacked?
And what can be done to fix that?
Canadian filmmaker Vede Seeterram has been doing background research for a new documentary called “Man Down: A Closer Look at Family Court” that will open the closed doors of family court.
And hopefully, open some minds.
He has already uncovered some startling facts.

Willie Illingworth’s Driftboats
By Dennis Powers
Willie Illingworth was a fishing guide on the Rogue River and thought that an aluminum driftboat would certainly be easier to work with. Maneuvering a twenty-foot, heavy boat made of cedar or plywood was tortuous to row or handle in the rapids, not to mention the constant maintenance due to splintered wood, rot, and leaks. The design in use then was from the McKenzie River near Eugene with a pointed bow at both ends.
His design of a high flared bow, squat stern, and steep curves would work well in the Rogue’s swift, shallow rapids—but welding aluminum together was a difficult task at best. Willie asked the acclaimed Glenn Wooldridge, then building his boats with wood, to make an aluminum one. Wooldridge said “no”. Although he had no money, no welding experience, and only one hand (due to an accident as a child), Willie decided to do it himself.
He convinced Jim Parsons—an Ashland sawmill owner and fishing client—into loaning him $4,000 to build six driftboats. Illingworth then spent the first three months in 1971 in shearing out patterns and welding the first aluminum boat in his Medford shop. When the prototype proved to be a success in being lighter and easier to handle on the Rogue, Willie set up in White City his boat-building company, Alumaweld, just as the name implies. He had figured out how to leave cedar planks behind and use welded aluminum.
He sold his interest six years later and in 1981 formed Willie Boats that continues to the present. Illingworth was as much a maverick in person, as he was in coming up with the idea that he could build an aluminum boat with nothing in his favor. Bill Monroe—for the Oregonian and whose article is linked below—wrote that Willie was: “A loud, mischievous, party-hearty, hard-drinking and often profane exterior (that) masked a private generous, caring and delightfully intelligent personality.”
When Willie knew that he was dying from brain cancer, he held his own living wake in January 2007. Passing around a signup sheet for vials that would contain his ashes, he said then, “I don’t want to miss my own party.” More than sixty friends signed up. After he died two months later, his friends took the vials of his ashes for when fishing on the Rogue, guiding clients, traveling outside Oregon, or even halibut fishing in Alaska.
Willie Illingworth is credited with being the first among the many aluminum boat manufacturers of the 1970s. His determination and approach created a huge boat-building industry in the Pacific Northwest with Medford still being a center of the aluminum driftboat and powerboat industry. Willie Boats now manufactures some 250 driftboats with 100 powerboats annually at its Central Point facility—and Willie would still be proud.
