Dr. Corey DeAngelis’s plainspoken warning that “boys need role models” should land like a wake-up call in every school district that’s forgotten what education is for: forming capable, patriotic young men and women. Conservatives know this is common sense — boys do better when they have steady male mentors in the classroom, not just ideologues pushing agendas. DeAngelis has been saying as much in recent media appearances, arguing that the classroom needs balance and adults who model responsibility and strength.
The data back him up: the teaching profession has become overwhelmingly female, with men now making up roughly a quarter of K–12 teachers and the share declining over decades. That imbalance matters, especially in elementary grades where young boys are forming habits, attitudes, and work ethic that follow them for life. Conservatives should proudly champion policies that make teaching attractive to men again — higher pay, respect for authority, and a culture that prizes discipline over indoctrination.
When boys go through school without a healthy male presence, we see consequences in behavior, literacy, and life outcomes; having teachers who reflect their students’ experiences and struggles can move the needle. Research shows students benefit when they encounter educators who understand their background and can relate on a human level — it isn’t radical, it’s practical. Our side must push this message hard: good policy and common-sense hiring will help close gaps and restore order to classrooms.
Meanwhile, the education establishment has focused more on messaging than on math and reading, and that’s part of the problem. DeAngelis has been a relentless voice for parents and school choice, calling out unions and curriculum fads that prioritize politics over basics. If conservatives want boys to thrive, we must continue to empower parents, expand choice, and reward schools that hire and keep men who serve as role models.
Practical conservative solutions are straightforward: remove the bureaucratic barriers that push men out of teaching, expand alternative certification for career-switchers, and elevate trade and technical education where male teachers are more common. We should treat recruiting men into classrooms as a national priority — not to shame women, but to restore balance and give every child access to a full range of adult influences. This is about strengthening families, communities, and the next generation of workers and citizens.
Let’s be honest about the politics, too. DeAngelis has fans in conservative media because he speaks blunt truths about parental rights and the failures of woke education, but he’s also been targeted by cancel-culture attacks over past personal mistakes that critics have used to try to silence him. Conservatives should defend the right to redeem and the right to argue for kids without fear of character assassination — we want robust debate, not censorship. The controversy around his past only underscores how the left weaponizes any distraction to avoid answering serious questions about education.
I looked for the exact YouTube clip mentioned and for a complete transcript of the Newsmax segment; while DeAngelis’s appearances and views on male teachers and parental empowerment are well-documented across conservative outlets, I was not able to locate that specific video in the public archives I searched. What matters for hardworking Americans is the message itself: schools must return to teaching basics and providing real role models, and conservatives should lead the charge to make that happen.
