How and what we teach this generation will reflect what happens in the next. The communists know this. Two of their goals involve getting control of the schools and supporting any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture. These two goals were laid out in our congressional record in 1963.
Unfortunately, those goals could be met someday in America because today’s students are failing to learn the critical, academic principles of reading, writing, English and arithmetic. As such, they are not equipped to guard what Thomas Jefferson called, “…the sacred deposit of the rights and liberties of their fellow citizens.”
Joining Jim to discuss this issue was Bonnie Gasper. Bonnie is the chairman of Child Protection League. They educate the public and expose issues that harm children in our schools and our culture.
Follow along and you’ll hear Bonnie comment on numerous factors that are contributing to our children’s learning problems such as:
- Digital screen reading. Is it just as effective as reading the printed page?
- What is the state of writing today and what is the correlation between this and reading?
- What is the “skip it” habit?
- The slowing of the mind.
- 10 steps to reclaim the adolescent mind
