Part 5/12:
Rick Schroeder’s journey echoes that of Sorbo in resisting Hollywood’s ideological direction. An outspoken conservative and critic of the industry’s political correctness, Schroeder founded Real American Heroes and a nonprofit to promote patriotic and family-friendly content. He criticizes the Academy’s recent rules that tie Oscar eligibility to LGBTQ+ themes and diversity quotas, which he feels stifle authentic storytelling.
Schroeder calls for the creation of alternative platforms—like his vision for Patriot PBS—to provide programming free from the influence of woke ideology. His documentary series, Erotic Erosion, examines how internet pornography has led to societal decline and calls for measures like content blocking and better age verification to protect families.
