Major school districts around the U.S. are reporting an eye-opening decline in the number of students in their classrooms, with the impact being felt due to falling birthrates and expanding school choice programs.
What’s going on? The guest on this Crosstalk finds this exodus heartening and she hopes it accelerates. She believes government schools continue to fail our children and don’t deserve to stay in business.
The guest we’re referring to is Sheri Few. Sheri is president and founder of United States Parents Involved in Education. It is their mission to end the U.S. Department of Education and all federal education mandates. She is a nationally recognized leader on education policy. She served as executive producer for the documentary film, Truth & Lies in American Education.
Jim led off this broadcast with two audio clips. The first was from Michigan Interim State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Sue Carnell. When directly asked how many genders there are she said, “Different people have different beliefs on that.”
The second clip featured President of the Chicago Teachers Union, Stacy Davis Gates. As of October, she’s also president of the Illinois Federation of Teachers. Her quote communicates that children don’t belong to the parents but instead are their (the educators) children.
These two quotes highlight the underlying problem in the public schools today. However, there’s more to analyze and Sheri does that as she comments on the following:
- The idea that government schools are losing control.
- Sheri has a report on her website titled: Are Government Schools Redeemable? It contains information regarding a “Mood of the Nation Survey.” What does it reveal?
- HR2691 which is designed to do away with the Department of Education.
- Who is teaching the teachers and what exactly are they being taught?
- National and state education standards such as “Common Core.”
Our children are the future of our nation so become informed so you can make a difference by listening to this edition of Crosstalk.
