Is college still worth it—and what does it actually take to get in today?

On this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor shares a deeply personal look at navigating the modern college admissions process as her daughter prepares for senior year. What should be a straightforward path has become a confusing maze of test-optional policies, expensive consulting services, and growing pressure for students to showcase activism on their applications.

Tudor is joined by Josh Weiner of the North American Values Institute for a powerful conversation on what’s really happening inside K–12 classrooms and universities across the country. From grade inflation and the erosion of academic standards to the rise of political ideology in education, they unpack how today’s system is reshaping both student outcomes and campus culture.

The discussion dives into:


The truth behind “test-optional” admissions and why standards are shifting


How grade inflation is making it harder to measure real achievement


The increasing role of activism in college applications


Whether college is still worth the skyrocketing cost


The impact of ideology and identity politics in K–12 education


Concerns about antisemitism and bias in schools


How parents can stay informed and take action locally

Tudor and Josh also explore a bigger question: Are schools preparing students for success in the real world—or failing them at a critical moment of change driven by technology and AI?

If you're a parent, student, or anyone concerned about the future of education in America, this is a must-listen episode.

In this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor tackles the rising threat of terrorism on U.S. soil following multiple recent attacks. Joined by Rafael Mangual of the Manhattan Institute, Tudor examines what’s driving these incidents—from radicalization to policy failures—and why major cities like New York remain prime targets.

They break down the attempted attack in New York City, a shocking incident in Michigan, and the broader implications for national security. The conversation also dives into controversial topics like policing strategies, counterterrorism units, immigration vetting, and whether current leadership is doing enough to protect Americans.

As concerns grow over soft targets like schools and places of worship, Tudor and Mangual discuss what can realistically be done to prevent future attacks—and why preparedness may be the key to saving lives.

In this episode of the Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor is joined by The Midwesternerfounder and Townhall correspondent Kyle Olson to break down explosive undercover videos from school-based health clinics in New Mexico. The footage raises serious questions about parental consent, student medical privacy, and the growing role of schools in providing therapy related to gender identity.

Tudor and Kyle examine how school clinics—often funded by taxpayers and operated by outside providers—can allow minors as young as 14 to seek confidential medical or mental health services without parental notification. They also discuss the broader push to turn schools into community hubs that provide healthcare, counseling, and other services traditionally handled by families.

What does this mean for parental rights, student wellbeing, and the future of public education? And how widespread are these school-based health centers across the country?

This conversation explores the policies, politics, and cultural debates surrounding school health clinics—and why parents should know what’s happening inside their local schools.
