Education
Education performance in the United Sates has fallen from #1 in the world in 1973 to #17 in 2013. Middle of the pack in science, math & reading in 2015. During that timeframe we added the DOE, lowered standards, lowered grading scales and spent trillions of dollars, only to see results dramatically decline against the rest of the world. The left wants more money spent to solve the problem. The right wants the DOE eliminated and local control restored. State Rankings by Size & Money. State Rankings Best & Worst. State Funding per Student. Textbooks are also a political battleground. Tax dollars are being used to buy textbooks that make claims like: 1. Christopher Columbus ordered the 'complete genocide' of Native Americans. 2. Members of the Boston Tea Party were 'terrorists'. 3. Lee Harvey Oswald shot President John F Kennedy because he was a 'deeply disturbed Marine'; not because he was a committed Marxist. 4. During Ronald Reagan presidency the 'poor got poorer', inferring that his policies were targeted to such a result. Where is the truth? See the debate in this section.

This is an extremely enlightening interview! It covers, marriage & the family, religion, classic liberalism, progressive liberalism, conservatism, woke cultural Marxism, neo-Marxism, and more. It cuts through the political narratives of our day on all of this and brings it back to a central & refreshing theme.

If you have an hour, listen to this. If you don't, find one! Do it when you exercise, on a walk, driving to work, but do it whenever you can find an hour. You will be glad you did.

The radical shift in 2020 from classical liberalism to woke neo-Marxist ideologies like transgenderism and intersectionality is making people confused and miserable.
