  Mark Koernke discussed school discipline policies influenced by Pacific Education Group (PEG) that he argued have created chaos and safety problems in public school districts including St. Paul, Minnesota, Madison, Wisconsin, Denver, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. He criticized what he characterized as 'white privilege' theory driving policies that reduce suspensions for minority students while maintaining standards for white students, arguing this approach fails to address actual behavioral problems and has led to violence, assaults, and sexual assaults in schools. Koernke shared personal anecdotes from his own school experience in the 1960s-70s to illustrate what he saw as a recurring pattern of leftist policies prioritizing racial equity metrics over student safety. He took a caller who discussed similar concerns about punitive policies affecting entire populations rather than addressing specific problem behaviors.
