Dissatisfied with government schools, parents across Texas demand more education options for their children. Spurred on by the governor, Republican state legislators introduce bills to establish education savings accounts for each student in the state. However, Democrats, Republicans representing rural districts, and teachers’ unions oppose any policy or program that they believe will undermine government schools. Education savings accounts, they argue, will decimate the underfunded government schools by subsidizing private schools. What ensues is a rancorous debate over education policy. The intellectual bodyguards at Justice Inc enter the debate, declaring that fundamentally, a child’s education is a matter of choice—the parent’s choice. A Matter of Choice is available on Amazon.

The post About The Intellectual Bodyguards appeared first on JB Phillips.

The lockdowns and prohibitions imposed during the COVID pandemic created economic turmoil across the nation. When the local government in Houston responds to the problems its lockdown created with more controls and prohibitions, philosophers Justin Walker and Pratik Shah come to the rescue of small businesses and landlords.

Labeling themselves intellectual bodyguards, they argue against the bad ideas that allegedly justified the lockdown and ensuring controls. Justin and Pratik soon find themselves in a conflict with both the city and the county governments in a battle to win the hearts and minds of the public. At the heart of the conflict are a series of laws and orders—so-called renters’ protections—that dictate what landlords can and cannot do.

Justin and Pratik argue that “renters’ protections” are impractical as well as immoral. Spurred on by a charismatic minister, housing activists claim the intellectual bodyguards are spreading propaganda to enrich the wealthy at the expense of the poor.

The conflict reaches a crescendo when Justin and Pratik lead an effort to repeal the new via a referendum. On the eve of the election, Justin debates the county official who imposed an eviction moratorium and other controls upon landlords.  

Filled with tension and thought-provoking arguments, this gripping novel challenges the government’s actions during the pandemic and offers a dramatic alternative to what could have been done. Perfect for fans of political thrillers and social commentary, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the government’s proper response to a pandemic.
