From serving just 100 special needs students in 2015 to now supporting over 50,000 families, Arkansas has become a national leader in school choice. Discover how the Arkansas LEARNS Act is empowering parents, sparking educational innovation through micro schools, and reshaping K-12 education. Lee shares insights from 25 years of advocacy work, explains the real impact on public school funding, and reveals why other states are looking to Arkansas as a model.

        <![CDATA[<p>David Howell and Dr. Aaron Bratton dive deep into the systemic effects of fluoride exposure beyond dental health. This episode explores how fluoride interferes with magnesium and calcium absorption, contributing to widespread deficiencies linked to fatigue, brain fog, and chronic disease in children. They examine the connection between fluoride exposure and sleep disorders, skeletal problems, and the alarming rise in childhood chronic conditions. With data comparing US health expenditures to countries that eliminated water fluoridation, this conversation reveals how a single policy decision may be impacting millions of Americans' wellbeing. The hosts discuss the National Toxicology Program's suppressed 2022 report and challenge listeners to consider the root causes behind America's declining health outcomes despite massive healthcare spending.</p><p>Find us on Social:<br>Views From the Window on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/viewsfromthewindow<br>https://www.instagram.com/dhowell_viewsfro...<br>https://www.davidjhowell.com/podcast</p><p>David's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DJHowell</p><p>Dr. Aaron Bratton's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MustachioedDDS<br>https://www.facebook.com/aaron.bratton.988</p>]]>

Discover why Utah and Florida have banned fluoride, how a Nobel Prize winner called the practice "obsolete," and what the National Toxicology Program's 1,500-page report really says about cognitive damage. From industrial cover-ups to the aluminum-fluoride connection linked to dementia, this episode exposes decades of research showing fluoride's systemic health effects. Learn why topical application works while ingestion doesn't, how fluoride accumulates in food systems, and why 19 states are now introducing restriction bills. A must-listen for anyone questioning what's really in their water.</p><p>Find us on Social:<br>Views From the Window on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/viewsfromthewindow<br>https://www.instagram.com/dhowell_viewsfro...<br>https://www.davidjhowell.com/podcast</p><p>David's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DJHowell</p><p>Dr. Aaron Bratton's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MustachioedDDS<br>https://www.facebook.com/aaron.bratton.988</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>This week on Views From the Window, we begin a thoughtful discussion with Dr. Aaron Bratton, DDS, on the often-debated topic of fluoride in our water. In this conversation, we lay out a roadmap—how and why fluoride was first introduced into public water systems, what the major studies say, and what questions communities are asking today. Rather than reacting to headlines, we step back to understand what fluoride is, what it does, and how we should think about moving forward from here.</p>]]>
