The Patriots Prayer: Reading the N-Word Got Him Fired

The Patriots Prayer Podcast brings you a bold, unapologetic look at the erosion of truth in America’s classrooms. In this episode, we unpack the story of Matthew Mastronardi, a Spanish teacher at West Valley High who was fired for reading a line from To Kill a Mockingbird—a book that exposes racism, not promotes it.

This was no hateful rant—he read the text in context, as Harper Lee intended, to challenge students to face the harsh realities of history. But in today’s hypersensitive, politically correct culture, context doesn’t matter—and now another good man has lost his job for daring to teach.

We ask the hard questions: When did reading classic literature become a fireable offense? When did education bow to emotion instead of truth? And how do we fight back against a culture more obsessed with optics than outcomes?

Hosted by Eddie Smith, this episode is a reminder that the fight for truth, faith, and freedom starts in the classroom.
