Throughout our nation public education is failing our children at every level, from kindergarten to college. Test scores are lower than that of many other industrialized countries. Violence erupts at a moments notice. Drugs are pervasive. Children can't read when they graduate. Students are not motivated to learn. What went wrong? Our education system used to be the best in the world!

The problem stems from 30+ years of liberal, iron-fisted, intolerant rule over our education system. During that time, many tried and true foundational principles and teaching techniques used for over 200 years that made this country great have been erased. Our educational system has been led down an unproven and harmful path from which it will take at least a generation to recover. There are many problems this politically-correct agenda has caused, including feel-good classes where children learn little or nothing; lowered standards of excellence; social promotions of students from grade to grade even when they don't pass and can't read or write; lack of student discipline; little or no respect for teachers; situational morality; no standard of right and wrong; condoms given to children in schools; unmotivated students; etc.

The list of failed practices and resulting consequences goes on and on. This has been one big experiment for the last 30 years, and the education establishment and the NEA has reaped what it has sown.

Children are the prize to the winners of the cultural war. Those who control what young people are taught and what they experience will determine the future course for this nation. The last few decades have clearly shown how the predominant value system of an entire culture can be overhauled by those with unlimited access to children.

Abraham Lincoln said, "The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of the government in the next." We see that today, and it will only get worse until our education system is wrested from the liberal establishment so that we can get it back on the right track for our children. Their future, and ultimately our country's future, depends on it.

The organizations below provide excellent information about current issues and how to get involved to help our children.
