On this episode of The Rick Smith Show, Rick dives into the politics of posthumous martyrdom with congressional candidate Rich Ojeda, who takes aim at the push to canonize Charlie Kirk with commemorative coins and warns against opportunistic, divisive legislation. Mary Cathryn Ricker, executive director of the Albert Shanker Institute, joins to dissect Oklahoma’s mandate for Turning Point USA chapters in every high school, defending the professionalism and student-centered focus of America’s educators. Together, their perspectives call for unity, practical reform, and a renewed commitment to students and honest public policy.
