Crisis to Courage: Off the Bench with Jill Simonian from PragerU Kids

Jill Simonian is a 15-year television host & media contributor, and she has been a listener of the HSJ podcast since the beginning of Covid. Before that, she was dedicated to the public school—until the reality of public school today hit home in her own family. Jill took action. After she began speaking at board meetings and talking with school officials, she decided there wasn’t time and she pulled her kids out. Today, Jill oversees PragerU Kids, an organization dedicated to promoting American values through the creative use of educational videos and online resources.
