░░░░░░░░ ignorant high school and ░░░░░░░░ graduates are They don ░░░░░░░░ know how many senators ░░░░░░░░ what the bill of ░░░░░░░░ is Our schools and ░░░░░░░░ are failing for many ░░░░░░░░ to teach American history ░░░░░░░░ government Crisis of understanding ░░░░░░░░ disposition Even as odd ░░░░░░░░ it sounds crisis of ░░░░░░░░ We all know or ░░░░░░░░ to know the story ░░░░░░░░ nathan 21 year old ░░░░░░░░ in Connecticut 1776 and ░░░░░░░░ in the continental army ░░░░░░░░ Washington needed somebody to ░░░░░░░░ on enemy lines in ░░░░░░░░ York Nathan volunteered He ░░░░░░░░ caught and hanged Most ░░░░░░░░ he said on the ░░░░░░░░ to the scaffold the ░░░░░░░░ words I only regret ░░░░░░░░ have but one life ░░░░░░░░ lose for my country ░░░░░░░░ country will always need ░░░░░░░░ Every country does In ░░░░░░░░ Lincoln s words American ░░░░░░░░ always need citizens to ░░░░░░░░ the last full measure ░░░░░░░░ devotion for their country ░░░░░░░░ cause Every generation it ░░░░░░░░ usually a small percentage ░░░░░░░░ our citizens who give ░░░░░░░░ measure That is the ░░░░░░░░ majority Our first duty ░░░░░░░░ citizens is to keep ░░░░░░░░ country worthy of such ░░░░░░░░ Chris joins us now ░░░░░░░░ talk about a crisis ░░░░░░░░ American education Talk about ░░░░░░░░ you think the crisis ░░░░░░░░ On it in the ░░░░░░░░ which is Yes well ░░░░░░░░ don t elaborate really ░░░░░░░░ nathan But I m ░░░░░░░░ about what everybody sees ░░░░░░░░ Race Theory Intersection nationality ░░░░░░░░ All the ideas that ░░░░░░░░ into making somebody woke ░░░░░░░░ they would call themselves ░░░░░░░░ can see that these ░░░░░░░░ have a strangle hold ░░░░░░░░ American education from kindergarten ░░░░░░░░ graduate school And the ░░░░░░░░ tyrants are aggressively teaching ░░░░░░░░ their country is systematically ░░░░░░░░ If they are white ░░░░░░░░ they are systematically oppressors ░░░░░░░░ they re non white ░░░░░░░░ they are victims They ░░░░░░░░ teaching our boys they ░░░░░░░░ grow up to be ░░░░░░░░ and boys to grow ░░░░░░░░ to be men That ░░░░░░░░ the basic curriculum I ░░░░░░░░ t think of a ░░░░░░░░ effective way to destroy ░░░░░░░░ country or civilization than ░░░░░░░░ teach such ideas to ░░░░░░░░ children with all the ░░░░░░░░ of government behind you ░░░░░░░░ is happening to you ░░░░░░░░ Education civic education You ░░░░░░░░ about civic should be ░░░░░░░░ we re not getting ░░░░░░░░ Thanks kara We think ░░░░░░░░ lot and talk about ░░░░░░░░ education stem for science ░░░░░░░░ engineering and mathematics We ░░░░░░░░ talk about it Very ░░░░░░░░ We want good engineers ░░░░░░░░ good scientists but we ░░░░░░░░ remember that it was ░░░░░░░░ than hundred years ago ░░░░░░░░ the most scientifically and ░░░░░░░░ advanced country in the ░░░░░░░░ was using it to ░░░░░░░░ Jewish people wherever it ░░░░░░░░ In our own country ░░░░░░░░ we all see that ░░░░░░░░ and I put that ░░░░░░░░ quotation marks is being ░░░░░░░░ by the government as ░░░░░░░░ weapon to tyrannize our ░░░░░░░░ I think this will ░░░░░░░░ get much worse before ░░░░░░░░ gets better The reason ░░░░░░░░ it s not taught ░░░░░░░░ scientists adequately how to ░░░░░░░░ humans beings and citizens ░░░░░░░░ s really the work ░░░░░░░░ civic education to teach ░░░░░░░░ children how to be ░░░░░░░░ men and women and ░░░░░░░░ Americans It s the ░░░░░░░░ important work in the ░░░░░░░░ If we fail at ░░░░░░░░ we won t have ░░░░░░░░ country anymore I believe ░░░░░░░░ was in the mid ░░░░░░░░ century c s lewis ░░░░░░░░ the alarms about scientists ░░░░░░░░ don t have a ░░░░░░░░ strong moral foundation Unfortunately ░░░░░░░░ our school system we ░░░░░░░░ lacking that We can ░░░░░░░░ teach kids the proper ░░░░░░░░ and math and everything ░░░░░░░░ Let alone everything that ░░░░░░░░ with it with morality ░░░░░░░░ lot of parents are ░░░░░░░░ out We see a ░░░░░░░░ of hopeful signs Parents ░░░░░░░░ out about gender queer ░░░░░░░░ and everything tearing apart ░░░░░░░░ country in the classroom ░░░░░░░░ you see it as ░░░░░░░░ for being optimistic for ░░░░░░░░ future Absolutely kara It ░░░░░░░░ a hard fight and ░░░░░░░░ one Lots of reasons ░░░░░░░░ hope Including the fact ░░░░░░░░ woke tyrants are a ░░░░░░░░ small minority of our ░░░░░░░░ and their ideas are ░░░░░░░░ shockingly evil and false ░░░░░░░░ soon as people learn ░░░░░░░░ them they coil and ░░░░░░░░ to defend their children ░░░░░░░░ that s why we ░░░░░░░░ seeing more and more ░░░░░░░░ becoming active They want ░░░░░░░░ go do their jobs ░░░░░░░░ look after their homes ░░░░░░░░ to their school board ░░░░░░░░ talking to the media ░░░░░░░░ what s done to ░░░░░░░░ in the schools More ░░░░░░░░ more governors state legislatures ░░░░░░░░ attention to public schools ░░░░░░░░ what they re teaching ░░░░░░░░ children Home schooling is ░░░░░░░░ up like crazy There ░░░░░░░░ lots of private initiatives ░░░░░░░░ don t get headlines ░░░░░░░░ of my favorite is ░░░░░░░░ college charter school initiative ░░░░░░░░ s spreading wonderful curriculum ░░░░░░░░ the country There s ░░░░░░░░ of things like this ░░░░░░░░ on There s a ░░░░░░░░ why it s going ░░░░░░░░ People are really afraid ░░░░░░░░ what s being done ░░░░░░░░ their children I think ░░░░░░░░ are the reasons for ░░░░░░░░ People really care about ░░░░░░░░ children and grandchildren And ░░░░░░░░ care about the future ░░░░░░░░ their country They re ░░░░░░░░ the good fight and ░░░░░░░░ think there s lots ░░░░░░░░ reasons to be optimistic ░░░░░░░░ they ll prevail I ░░░░░░░░ how you tied everything ░░░░░░░░ with nathan hale and ░░░░░░░░ he stood for and ░░░░░░░░ for
