In the fifth episode of Red Pens and Red Flags, self-described MAGA conservative high school math teacher, Aaron Megrian, joins the conversation to discuss the shifting landscape of American education. While he presents himself as a champion of neutrality, Aaron openly acknowledges that students may be treated differently based on race and socioeconomic status, yet he resists challenging these disparities. He frames assimilation as the solution, suggesting that tailoring education to meet diverse student needs is inconvenient for the broader community. Aaron advocates for returning power to the states, trusting local values over federal oversight, even though he admits that some states have historically failed marginalized groups. His comments reveal a preference for stability over equity and a belief that equality comes through conformity rather than transformation.

Despite insisting that political indoctrination has no place in the classroom, Aaron contradicts himself when discussing religious mandates. He expresses no concern over Bible placements in public school classrooms, arguing that moral instruction aligned with “traditional American values” is beneficial, so long as it reflects his personal ideology. He dodges a direct answer when asked if he supports DEI, opting instead to reframe it as a political buzzword that divides rather than unites. Likewise, when questioned about the educational inequities rooted in the Jim Crow era, he skirts the topic entirely, claiming he can’t speak to it. In doing so, Aaron inadvertently highlights a common tension in education today: the desire to appear apolitical while endorsing ideologies that reinforce existing power structures.
