The Winning Walk with Dr. Ed Young | Ed Young - Schools | July 2, 2026
- Are. where do you start?
- 00:00:01.046 --> 00:00:04.149
- We the people taking back
- 00:00:04.149 --> 00:00:07.119
- Our public educational system.
- 00:00:07.119 --> 00:00:10.322
- We the people.
- 00:00:10.656 --> 00:00:13.992
- And for i would completely eliminate
- 00:00:14.760 --> 00:00:18.497
- The department of education in washington, d.c..
- 00:00:18.497 --> 00:00:25.370
- Why don't
- 00:00:25.671 --> 00:00:26.772
- They let us keep that tax money that we send up there,
- 00:00:26.772 --> 00:00:30.008
- And we can use it ourselves with local funds
- 00:00:30.008 --> 00:00:32.711
- And state funds,
- 00:00:32.711 --> 00:00:33.712
- Because we, the people and the parents
- 00:00:33.712 --> 00:00:36.014
- And the teachers involved are better able to do the job.
- 00:00:36.014 --> 00:00:58.003
- Our schools are broken.
- 00:00:58.504 --> 00:01:03.742
- Open your bibles, if you would.
- 00:01:04.376 --> 00:01:07.880
- The book of judges, chapter number two.
- 00:01:07.880 --> 00:01:11.283
- I'll read verse eight.
- 00:01:11.750 --> 00:01:14.520
- Then joshua, the son of nun,
- 00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:16.421
- The servant of the lord, died at the age of 110.
- 00:01:16.421 --> 00:01:19.992
- Verse ten.
- 00:01:20.292 --> 00:01:22.027
- All that generation also were gathered to their fathers.
- 00:01:22.027 --> 00:01:25.797
- And there arose another generation after them,
- 00:01:25.797 --> 00:01:29.768
- And who did not know the lord,
- 00:01:30.369 --> 00:01:33.372
- Nor the work, nor yet the work which he had done for israel.
- 00:01:33.372 --> 00:01:37.776
- Verse 11.
- 00:01:37.776 --> 00:01:39.411
- Then the sons of israel
- 00:01:39.411 --> 00:01:43.148
- Did evil in the sight of the
- 00:01:43.749 --> 00:01:45.217
- Lord, and served other bales.
- 00:01:45.217 --> 00:01:49.054
- The middle of verse 12 followed other gods.
- 00:01:49.054 --> 00:01:52.191
- Verse 14, the anger of the lord turned against israel,
- 00:01:52.191 --> 00:01:56.461
- And he gave them into the hands of plunderers
- 00:01:56.461 --> 00:02:00.832
- Who plundered them.
- 00:02:00.832 --> 00:02:05.237
- There rose
- 00:02:05.537 --> 00:02:06.572
- Another generation that knew not the lord,
- 00:02:06.572 --> 00:02:10.976
- And what he had done for israel.
- 00:02:10.976 --> 00:02:13.712
- What happened to those people?
- 00:02:14.313 --> 00:02:17.616
- They went to their promised land.
- 00:02:17.616 --> 00:02:20.719
- They just got busy.
- 00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:22.788
- They were building
- 00:02:22.788 --> 00:02:23.855
- Houses and businesses and working in agriculture
- 00:02:23.855 --> 00:02:26.792
- And arts and skills, and they were so involved.
- 00:02:26.792 --> 00:02:29.895
- And joshua died,
- 00:02:29.895 --> 00:02:32.130
- And caleb died, and all that generation died.
- 00:02:32.130 --> 00:02:35.167
- And now there rose another generation
- 00:02:35.167 --> 00:02:37.469
- That did not know the lord,
- 00:02:37.469 --> 00:02:39.037
- How his hand had been upon israel
- 00:02:39.037 --> 00:02:41.139
- And the miracles
- 00:02:41.139 --> 00:02:42.074
- That had taken place, and the blessings
- 00:02:42.074 --> 00:02:44.276
- He's given to the people and their rose
- 00:02:44.276 --> 00:02:46.378
- And other generation did not do the lord
- 00:02:46.378 --> 00:02:48.647
- Are the things he had done for israel.
- 00:02:48.647 --> 00:02:50.849
- What happened to these people?
- 00:02:50.849 --> 00:02:52.718
- They forgot to teach their kids.
- 00:02:52.718 --> 00:02:58.457
- They forgot to teach their kids.
- 00:02:59.191 --> 00:03:01.960
- And then they did evil in the sight of the lord.
- 00:03:02.928 --> 00:03:06.798
- Then they bowed down to other gods,
- 00:03:07.532 --> 00:03:10.535
- And then they were plundered
- 00:03:11.136 --> 00:03:14.539
- By the plunderers who plundered them.
- 00:03:14.539 --> 00:03:17.809
- They were exploited.
- 00:03:17.809 --> 00:03:21.446
- My thesis
- 00:03:21.747 --> 00:03:24.049
- There has arisen another generation
- 00:03:24.049 --> 00:03:27.653
- That knows not the lord,
- 00:03:28.186 --> 00:03:31.356
- And does not know what the lord
- 00:03:31.990 --> 00:03:34.926
- God has done for america.
- 00:03:34.926 --> 00:03:38.330
- And the reason we are there at this moment is
- 00:03:39.264 --> 00:03:42.868
- We have not, and we are not teaching our kids.
- 00:03:42.868 --> 00:03:50.876
- The night before
- 00:03:51.276 --> 00:03:52.144
- The normandy invasion.
- 00:03:52.144 --> 00:03:55.514
- A young soldier from east texas
- 00:03:56.148 --> 00:04:00.786
- Was a part of a dance and a party and a meal given
- 00:04:01.820 --> 00:04:06.291
- By english people, englishmen, english men and women.
- 00:04:06.291 --> 00:04:10.062
- And they had a date for all the young soldiers.
- 00:04:10.062 --> 00:04:14.900
- And so this young english girl
- 00:04:15.500 --> 00:04:19.438
- Met this young american soldier, and
- 00:04:19.438 --> 00:04:22.341
- They had a good time together.
- 00:04:22.341 --> 00:04:23.875
- And following the meal, he had to go back to
- 00:04:23.875 --> 00:04:26.511
- His barracks they'd never met before.
- 00:04:26.511 --> 00:04:28.580
- And she reaches out of hand to thank him and enjoyed
- 00:04:28.580 --> 00:04:33.018
- Being with him.
- 00:04:33.018 --> 00:04:34.119
- He reaches out of hand to respond, and then suddenly
- 00:04:34.119 --> 00:04:37.522
- He reaches over and kisses her.
- 00:04:38.156 --> 00:04:41.093
- She drops back.
- 00:04:41.460 --> 00:04:44.062
- She said,
- 00:04:44.062 --> 00:04:45.664
- What was that about?
- 00:04:45.664 --> 00:04:48.333
- And he said,
- 00:04:48.333 --> 00:04:51.269
- I'm shipping out in the morning.
- 00:04:51.269 --> 00:04:54.740
- I don't know if i'll be killed or not.
- 00:04:54.740 --> 00:04:58.076
- I don't know if i'll come back.
- 00:04:58.076 --> 00:05:00.579
- And he says, i'm 19 years old
- 00:05:00.579 --> 00:05:03.582
- And i've never kissed a girl before.
- 00:05:04.349 --> 00:05:07.853
- He said, i just thought,
- 00:05:08.387 --> 00:05:10.856
- It's a time for boldness.
- 00:05:10.856 --> 00:05:17.229
- Our broken schools.
- 00:05:17.696 --> 00:05:21.166
- It's a time for boldness.
- 00:05:21.733 --> 00:05:29.608
- Fraud is wrong
- 00:05:29.941 --> 00:05:30.876
- With public education.
- 00:05:30.876 --> 00:05:33.578
- I've been talking to
- 00:05:33.578 --> 00:05:34.546
- Some people and i've asked them to tell me,
- 00:05:34.546 --> 00:05:37.349
- And the answers are exceedingly interesting.
- 00:05:37.349 --> 00:05:41.052
- Some people have told me,
- 00:05:41.620 --> 00:05:43.488
- I'll tell you exactly what's wrong with public education.
- 00:05:43.488 --> 00:05:46.558
- It is money.
- 00:05:46.558 --> 00:05:48.927
- The schools don't have
- 00:05:48.927 --> 00:05:50.028
- Enough money, and we hear that all the time.
- 00:05:50.028 --> 00:05:52.998
- Let me tell you, statistics do not bear that out.
- 00:05:52.998 --> 00:05:58.170
- Money is not the answer.
- 00:05:58.703 --> 00:06:00.372
- In the past three decades,
- 00:06:00.372 --> 00:06:03.074
- We have doubled what we spend in public education.
- 00:06:03.074 --> 00:06:06.812
- And that is in real dollars.
- 00:06:06.812 --> 00:06:09.014
- And we see no, we have seen no measurable
- 00:06:09.014 --> 00:06:12.451
- Improvement in education.
- 00:06:12.451 --> 00:06:15.220
- Now, let me assure you, i am for big time
- 00:06:15.220 --> 00:06:19.858
- Teachers being paid according to merit and ability,
- 00:06:19.858 --> 00:06:23.595
- And we should have many teachers
- 00:06:23.595 --> 00:06:25.464
- And secondary education all the way through
- 00:06:25.464 --> 00:06:28.433
- Who are superior and they need.
- 00:06:28.433 --> 00:06:30.502
- The average starting place in texas is 40,000.
- 00:06:30.502 --> 00:06:34.272
- They need to look to 100,000 100,000 plus.
- 00:06:34.272 --> 00:06:37.476
- When they do a super job with our kids,
- 00:06:37.476 --> 00:06:40.479
- They should be on the level
- 00:06:40.479 --> 00:06:41.746
- Of doctors and lawyers and others.
- 00:06:41.746 --> 00:06:45.250
- So let me be very clear about that.
- 00:06:46.017 --> 00:06:48.553
- But that's not the
- 00:06:48.553 --> 00:06:49.554
- Primary problem, because those men and women
- 00:06:49.554 --> 00:06:52.357
- Who are an education now have an overwhelming sense of
- 00:06:52.357 --> 00:06:55.293
- Call to what they do and a passion for what
- 00:06:55.293 --> 00:06:58.230
- They do, or they would not stay there.
- 00:06:58.230 --> 00:07:00.932
- And so people have the idea that money
- 00:07:00.932 --> 00:07:04.102
- Is the answer to improving public education.
- 00:07:04.102 --> 00:07:06.705
- That simply is not true.
- 00:07:06.705 --> 00:07:08.473
- We are spending right now, on an average
- 00:07:08.473 --> 00:07:10.976
- In the united states, $250,000 a year per classroom,
- 00:07:10.976 --> 00:07:16.348
- And that's about with $10,000 per child.
- 00:07:16.348 --> 00:07:19.651
- We're spending more money than any other developed
- 00:07:19.651 --> 00:07:22.787
- Nation, probably in the world, and we're not seeing our kids
- 00:07:22.787 --> 00:07:26.291
- Get the education that they need and they deserve.
- 00:07:26.291 --> 00:07:29.394
- So money is not the answer.
- 00:07:29.394 --> 00:07:31.730
- Number two, other people think it's methods.
- 00:07:31.730 --> 00:07:34.733
- Well, it's how we teach in the orient.
- 00:07:34.733 --> 00:07:37.769
- They primary teach by lecture.
- 00:07:37.769 --> 00:07:39.738
- Here we try to teach with responsiveness.
- 00:07:39.738 --> 00:07:42.807
- And certainly we can improve our methods.
- 00:07:42.807 --> 00:07:45.677
- And we have the means to do that in modern america
- 00:07:45.677 --> 00:07:49.147
- To do it, for example, all of us learn differently.
- 00:07:49.147 --> 00:07:53.518
- Some of us learn linguistically
- 00:07:54.152 --> 00:07:56.988
- Words, phrases and letters.
- 00:07:56.988 --> 00:07:59.958
- You know, we sort of put that together and we learn that way.
- 00:07:59.958 --> 00:08:03.461
- And we
- 00:08:03.461 --> 00:08:04.729
- The ultimate example of that, i guess, would be walt whitman.
- 00:08:04.729 --> 00:08:07.632
- My goodness, what a wordsmith he was.
- 00:08:07.632 --> 00:08:10.569
- So some people learn like that.
- 00:08:10.569 --> 00:08:12.504
- Some people learn mathematically,
- 00:08:12.504 --> 00:08:15.740
- And we use the left side of our brain.
- 00:08:15.740 --> 00:08:18.276
- We think logically
- 00:08:18.276 --> 00:08:19.344
- Or scientifically or in the in the physical world.
- 00:08:19.344 --> 00:08:23.048
- We learn in that way.
- 00:08:23.048 --> 00:08:25.550
- Mathematically, that would be the ultimate would be what?
- 00:08:25.550 --> 00:08:28.153
- Aberdeen stein?
- 00:08:28.153 --> 00:08:29.154
- I guess others of us were learned through
- 00:08:29.154 --> 00:08:32.824
- Through music, for
- 00:08:32.824 --> 00:08:34.292
- I learned the books of the bible
- 00:08:34.292 --> 00:08:35.827
- By singing them genesis, exodus,
- 00:08:35.827 --> 00:08:38.263
- And sometimes now, after all these years,
- 00:08:38.263 --> 00:08:40.732
- Or i think i know them, i get to a part and i go home
- 00:08:40.732 --> 00:08:44.336
- To see if i got it right.
- 00:08:44.903 --> 00:08:46.571
- You know, that's the way i learn.
- 00:08:46.571 --> 00:08:48.239
- So people learn in different ways.
- 00:08:48.239 --> 00:08:50.875
- Some people learn spatially and they can see in dimensions,
- 00:08:50.875 --> 00:08:55.981
- And they see shapes and forms and colors and and all kind
- 00:08:55.981 --> 00:09:01.553
- Of let's be frank lloyd wright, who's a great architect.
- 00:09:01.553 --> 00:09:05.156
- He would learn like that.
- 00:09:05.156 --> 00:09:07.392
- Some of us learn.
- 00:09:07.392 --> 00:09:08.994
- You heard someone may be majoring in kinesiology.
- 00:09:08.994 --> 00:09:11.930
- You say, what in the world is that?
- 00:09:11.930 --> 00:09:13.798
- That is someone who learns with with the body.
- 00:09:13.798 --> 00:09:16.935
- I know a story of a young lady
- 00:09:16.935 --> 00:09:19.104
- Who, having a difficult time early in her education
- 00:09:19.104 --> 00:09:21.773
- Of learning the alphabet.
- 00:09:21.773 --> 00:09:23.408
- And finally she got way behind.
- 00:09:23.408 --> 00:09:25.310
- Everybody said, oh, she's dumb.
- 00:09:25.310 --> 00:09:27.145
- She's done with the stump, she can't learn the alphabet.
- 00:09:27.145 --> 00:09:30.015
- And then they were spelling. she couldn't spell.
- 00:09:30.015 --> 00:09:32.417
- They were writing words and sentences.
- 00:09:32.417 --> 00:09:34.419
- She couldn't do it.
- 00:09:34.419 --> 00:09:35.420
- And so she was totally depressed and despondent
- 00:09:35.420 --> 00:09:38.256
- Until one teacher noticed how she walked
- 00:09:38.256 --> 00:09:41.960
- With rhythm and with athleticism,
- 00:09:42.727 --> 00:09:45.664
- You know, with with all the poise there
- 00:09:46.464 --> 00:09:48.333
- And said, you know, she may be a kinetic learner.
- 00:09:48.333 --> 00:09:51.236
- And so this teacher went and said,
- 00:09:51.236 --> 00:09:53.571
- I want you to go home tonight, and i want you to spell out
- 00:09:53.571 --> 00:09:57.409
- The alphabet with your body.
- 00:09:57.409 --> 00:09:59.477
- Y'all remember, why am ca let's everybody do that.
- 00:09:59.477 --> 00:10:05.383
- What you need to learn that here we go together.
- 00:10:05.383 --> 00:10:07.652
- Why emcee a not many athletes here obviously.
- 00:10:07.652 --> 00:10:15.093
- So she went home and learned how to spell like that.
- 00:10:16.127 --> 00:10:18.930
- Came back the next day and showed her teacher
- 00:10:18.930 --> 00:10:21.199
- And said look, it's easy.
- 00:10:21.199 --> 00:10:22.434
- And she went through the alphabet.
- 00:10:22.434 --> 00:10:23.835
- A few days later, she was putting words together
- 00:10:23.835 --> 00:10:26.271
- And she was writing that she demonstrated for her class.
- 00:10:26.271 --> 00:10:29.340
- Her class applauded her, and she became very gifted
- 00:10:29.340 --> 00:10:32.911
- Linguistically because that's how she learned
- 00:10:32.911 --> 00:10:36.347
- A lot of people of us.
- 00:10:36.815 --> 00:10:38.049
- We were written off in certain areas, and boy came to learn
- 00:10:38.049 --> 00:10:41.152
- That they never tuned in on how we learned.
- 00:10:41.152 --> 00:10:43.955
- So now in modern education, we can do that with computers
- 00:10:43.955 --> 00:10:47.492
- And other things that will refer to later on.
- 00:10:47.492 --> 00:10:50.228
- But methods is not really the answer though,
- 00:10:50.228 --> 00:10:52.897
- To improve the education.
- 00:10:52.897 --> 00:10:54.065
- It's not just the method.
- 00:10:54.065 --> 00:10:55.834
- Money is not the answer.
- 00:10:55.834 --> 00:10:57.068
- The method is not their measurement.
- 00:10:57.068 --> 00:10:59.070
- Other people
- 00:10:59.070 --> 00:11:00.171
- Say, well, wait, we measure how smart our kids are,
- 00:11:00.171 --> 00:11:02.340
- How much they develop. it is flawed.
- 00:11:02.340 --> 00:11:04.342
- I don't think that's the problem.
- 00:11:04.342 --> 00:11:06.311
- Some people say it's parents and kids, and certainly parents
- 00:11:06.311 --> 00:11:09.614
- Aren't as valved as they used to be.
- 00:11:09.614 --> 00:11:11.382
- We have so many single
- 00:11:11.382 --> 00:11:12.417
- Parents who hardly have the time to give,
- 00:11:12.417 --> 00:11:15.286
- And this is a challenge that we have today.
- 00:11:15.286 --> 00:11:18.089
- But that's not the total problem.
- 00:11:18.089 --> 00:11:20.358
- We have some other states, unions,
- 00:11:20.358 --> 00:11:23.928
- You know, teacher unions, and we have four teacher
- 00:11:23.928 --> 00:11:26.231
- Unions in texas.
- 00:11:26.231 --> 00:11:27.532
- Two of them are, i think, effective in
- 00:11:27.532 --> 00:11:30.368
- In representing the teachers.
- 00:11:30.368 --> 00:11:31.770
- Two of them, i think are over the top.
- 00:11:31.770 --> 00:11:33.772
- This is just my subjective opinion.
- 00:11:33.772 --> 00:11:35.807
- And unions have generally, across america,
- 00:11:35.807 --> 00:11:39.377
- Held back some change, needed change in education.
- 00:11:39.377 --> 00:11:43.181
- They've kept
- 00:11:43.181 --> 00:11:44.382
- Ineffective teachers teaching when they should have been
- 00:11:44.382 --> 00:11:46.985
- Fired and dismissed and gone to another profession.
- 00:11:46.985 --> 00:11:49.354
- So that is a part of the problem.
- 00:11:49.354 --> 00:11:51.055
- But it's not the total problem.
- 00:11:51.055 --> 00:11:53.625
- The other problem,
- 00:11:54.058 --> 00:11:55.026
- And by the way, this is what you've said to me
- 00:11:55.026 --> 00:11:56.628
- Is i've asked you, but well, what we need is more computers
- 00:11:56.628 --> 00:12:00.231
- That that will solve everything in the world.
- 00:12:00.231 --> 00:12:02.734
- Well, four years ago
- 00:12:02.734 --> 00:12:03.902
- We had one computer for every 12 kids
- 00:12:03.902 --> 00:12:05.970
- And now we have one out of four.
- 00:12:05.970 --> 00:12:07.705
- This is nationally and in texas.
- 00:12:07.705 --> 00:12:09.874
- We probably have a better ratio than that.
- 00:12:09.874 --> 00:12:12.177
- But the problem isn't with computers.
- 00:12:12.177 --> 00:12:16.581
- As we approach our fiscal
- 00:12:17.148 --> 00:12:18.817
- Year end on july the 31st.
- 00:12:18.817 --> 00:12:21.653
- We're also approaching a historic milestone.
- 00:12:21.653 --> 00:12:25.023
- Think about it.
- 00:12:25.390 --> 00:12:26.291
- America's 250th anniversary.
- 00:12:26.291 --> 00:12:30.528
- And as we reflect on what built this nation
- 00:12:30.528 --> 00:12:33.865
- Faith, family and freedom,
- 00:12:33.865 --> 00:12:36.734
- Fellowship, joy, meaning, significance, a family
- 00:12:36.734 --> 00:12:41.005
- Of god living together under the red, white and blue.
- 00:12:41.005 --> 00:12:44.108
- As we live under the banner of america,
- 00:12:44.108 --> 00:12:47.412
- We also recognize something deeply wrong.
- 00:12:47.412 --> 00:12:51.282
- Biblical truth is being challenged.
- 00:12:51.282 --> 00:12:54.385
- Families are under pressure and faith is no longer
- 00:12:54.385 --> 00:12:57.789
- At the center of our culture.
- 00:12:57.789 --> 00:13:00.491
- Now it's our turn.
- 00:13:00.491 --> 00:13:02.493
- Our turn to stand for what matters most.
- 00:13:02.493 --> 00:13:05.630
- Listen, when you request this much resource,
- 00:13:05.630 --> 00:13:09.167
- You're helping us proclaim the truth of god's word,
- 00:13:09.167 --> 00:13:12.370
- Strengthen families,
- 00:13:12.370 --> 00:13:13.371
- And advance faith across this great nation.
- 00:13:13.371 --> 00:13:16.441
- As i thank you, i would love to send you a signed
- 00:13:16.441 --> 00:13:20.411
- Copy of my book, healing broken america,
- 00:13:20.411 --> 00:13:24.082
- A book that i have written to help us understand
- 00:13:24.082 --> 00:13:27.151
- And to navigate our way through all the challenges
- 00:13:27.151 --> 00:13:30.955
- Of the 21st century in our land as we come to our fiscal
- 00:13:30.955 --> 00:13:35.293
- Year end.
- 00:13:35.293 --> 00:13:36.361
- I'm asking you to step forward in a meaningful way.
- 00:13:36.361 --> 00:13:39.430
- Consider a gift of $250,
- 00:13:39.430 --> 00:13:43.368
- Or really ten others, to give $25 a dollar
- 00:13:43.368 --> 00:13:47.038
- For every year of our nation's existence.
- 00:13:47.038 --> 00:13:50.174
- We give that to the winning walk so that it can continue
- 00:13:50.174 --> 00:13:53.745
- To be broadcast around the world.
- 00:13:53.745 --> 00:13:57.015
- Your support helps us bring biblical truth,
- 00:13:57.015 --> 00:13:59.984
- Encouragement, and meaning across america.
- 00:13:59.984 --> 00:14:03.521
- So let's stand together and believe god for renewal
- 00:14:03.521 --> 00:14:06.557
- And revival in our great nation.
- 00:14:06.557 --> 00:14:10.295
- For if america would catch far for christ,
- 00:14:10.295 --> 00:14:12.931
- It would touch the entire world.
- 00:14:12.931 --> 00:14:15.466
- Thank you.
- 00:14:15.466 --> 00:14:17.135
- Making this possible with your participation
- 00:14:17.135 --> 00:14:20.171
- In prayer and gifts to the winning walk.
- 00:14:20.171 --> 00:14:33.051
- So let's look at
- 00:14:33.451 --> 00:14:35.486
- Broken schools and a brief history.
- 00:14:35.486 --> 00:14:39.791
- First of all, let's look at old america.
- 00:14:39.791 --> 00:14:42.827
- How did public education begin?
- 00:14:42.827 --> 00:14:45.997
- It began with a law passed in massachusetts.
- 00:14:45.997 --> 00:14:49.567
- There we are back again, a law passed in massachusetts
- 00:14:49.567 --> 00:14:54.439
- In 1647 called
- 00:14:54.439 --> 00:14:57.709
- The old deluded satan law.
- 00:14:57.709 --> 00:15:01.946
- Do you get that?
- 00:15:02.347 --> 00:15:03.314
- The old deluded satan law, the puritan said
- 00:15:03.314 --> 00:15:06.351
- The kids could not develop
- 00:15:06.351 --> 00:15:08.052
- And could not resist the temptation of the devil
- 00:15:08.052 --> 00:15:10.788
- Until they could read the bible.
- 00:15:10.788 --> 00:15:13.558
- And so they passed public education
- 00:15:13.558 --> 00:15:17.362
- And made it compulsory that if a family of 50 people
- 00:15:17.362 --> 00:15:21.032
- Were together, you had to have a teacher.
- 00:15:21.032 --> 00:15:23.134
- If you had 100 families together,
- 00:15:23.134 --> 00:15:24.969
- You had to have a school where all the kids were taught
- 00:15:24.969 --> 00:15:28.039
- Primarily how to read so they could read the bible
- 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.342
- And grow up in the fear and admonition of the lord
- 00:15:31.342 --> 00:15:34.145
- Jesus christ.
- 00:15:34.145 --> 00:15:35.146
- That's our public education began.
- 00:15:35.146 --> 00:15:37.515
- It went through
- 00:15:37.515 --> 00:15:38.549
- The other other colonies, and it spread all over
- 00:15:38.549 --> 00:15:41.352
- That world, even before we were officially a nation.
- 00:15:41.352 --> 00:15:45.857
- And in the
- 00:15:46.157 --> 00:15:47.225
- Process of this, one man came to the surface
- 00:15:47.225 --> 00:15:50.361
- By the name of noah webster.
- 00:15:50.361 --> 00:15:53.865
- Ever heard of webster's dictionary?
- 00:15:54.632 --> 00:15:58.569
- Noah webster was a god fearing, brilliant man,
- 00:15:58.569 --> 00:16:01.839
- And he took the spelling
- 00:16:01.839 --> 00:16:03.708
- Of some words where the english would spell them and said,
- 00:16:03.708 --> 00:16:07.345
- That's not how we're going to spell them in america.
- 00:16:07.345 --> 00:16:10.281
- And so he took those words.
- 00:16:10.882 --> 00:16:12.984
- He wrote that dictionary, and he said,
- 00:16:12.984 --> 00:16:15.787
- And he set the framework for the building
- 00:16:15.787 --> 00:16:18.956
- Of a public school system under god.
- 00:16:18.956 --> 00:16:22.560
- And we see this developing.
- 00:16:22.560 --> 00:16:25.163
- You look at some of our major colleges and universities,
- 00:16:25.163 --> 00:16:28.566
- Harvard, in princeton
- 00:16:28.566 --> 00:16:29.667
- And yale and william and mary and an endless list.
- 00:16:29.667 --> 00:16:32.837
- They were started by god fearing christian men and women
- 00:16:32.837 --> 00:16:37.008
- Who wanted to teach their children
- 00:16:37.008 --> 00:16:39.010
- The word of god
- 00:16:39.010 --> 00:16:40.011
- And give them a thorough education
- 00:16:40.011 --> 00:16:42.947
- So their lives would count in this world.
- 00:16:42.947 --> 00:16:45.316
- That's the documents of these institutions,
- 00:16:45.316 --> 00:16:48.319
- Which by and large today have become secularized.
- 00:16:48.319 --> 00:16:52.223
- So let's let that is all america.
- 00:16:52.957 --> 00:16:55.793
- That is noah webster, who is called by many
- 00:16:55.793 --> 00:16:59.363
- America's schoolmaster
- 00:16:59.363 --> 00:17:02.533
- An educational system under god.
- 00:17:02.533 --> 00:17:07.004
- That's the old way.
- 00:17:07.472 --> 00:17:09.474
- But in 1960s
- 00:17:09.474 --> 00:17:12.910
- You have a new america of education.
- 00:17:12.910 --> 00:17:15.880
- And this new america
- 00:17:16.347 --> 00:17:17.982
- Was radically different from the old america.
- 00:17:17.982 --> 00:17:21.052
- And you have the philosopher of this new american
- 00:17:21.052 --> 00:17:25.590
- Style of education was a man by the name of john dewey.
- 00:17:25.590 --> 00:17:30.461
- He was a philosopher.
- 00:17:30.962 --> 00:17:32.563
- And i want you to look and see dewey's
- 00:17:32.563 --> 00:17:35.466
- Philosophy of education, which is the basic
- 00:17:35.466 --> 00:17:39.036
- Philosophy of education in america today.
- 00:17:39.036 --> 00:17:43.141
- This is it.
- 00:17:43.474 --> 00:17:44.742
- It came from dewey.
- 00:17:44.742 --> 00:17:46.210
- Listen to it.
- 00:17:46.210 --> 00:17:47.445
- The state and its perpetuation
- 00:17:47.445 --> 00:17:50.348
- Is the highest goal of education.
- 00:17:50.348 --> 00:17:53.251
- Let that sink in.
- 00:17:53.251 --> 00:17:54.685
- The future of the state is in the child.
- 00:17:54.685 --> 00:17:58.122
- Therefore, the child at the
- 00:17:58.723 --> 00:18:00.758
- Age of education belongs to the state.
- 00:18:00.758 --> 00:18:04.562
- The state can take control of educational choice
- 00:18:04.562 --> 00:18:08.633
- From the parents and the home.
- 00:18:08.633 --> 00:18:11.269
- The state will determine the agenda of education
- 00:18:11.269 --> 00:18:14.839
- Based on its pragmatic needs.
- 00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:17.708
- Now, from noah webster to john dewey,
- 00:18:17.708 --> 00:18:22.613
- Noah webster built education on principle, moral
- 00:18:22.613 --> 00:18:27.084
- Ethics, biblical foundation, john dewey
- 00:18:27.084 --> 00:18:31.155
- Based education on pragmatism.
- 00:18:31.155 --> 00:18:33.758
- Will it work?
- 00:18:33.758 --> 00:18:34.592
- Will it help?
- 00:18:34.592 --> 00:18:35.626
- Can you see it?
- 00:18:35.626 --> 00:18:36.594
- Can you measure it?
- 00:18:36.594 --> 00:18:38.863
- And therefore we have the old education
- 00:18:38.863 --> 00:18:42.800
- In america, the new education in america.
- 00:18:42.800 --> 00:18:45.603
- And you see, as they have tested kids
- 00:18:45.603 --> 00:18:49.440
- Beginning in the early 90s, there's been a decline
- 00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:53.477
- In overall knowledge and education under this
- 00:18:53.477 --> 00:18:57.715
- New system called new american education.
- 00:18:57.715 --> 00:19:01.185
- Now let's look at public
- 00:19:01.719 --> 00:19:05.423
- Education k through 12 from a distance.
- 00:19:05.423 --> 00:19:09.627
- Okay. let's look at it.
- 00:19:10.127 --> 00:19:11.329
- Edit from a distance.
- 00:19:11.329 --> 00:19:12.763
- Let's look at it through a telescope
- 00:19:12.763 --> 00:19:16.834
- A a broad general sweep of public education.
- 00:19:16.834 --> 00:19:22.006
- Recently in 2007
- 00:19:22.406 --> 00:19:25.409
- There was a study of 30 developed nations
- 00:19:25.409 --> 00:19:29.714
- And how their kids are doing as far as education
- 00:19:29.714 --> 00:19:33.050
- Is concerned.
- 00:19:33.050 --> 00:19:34.051
- The united states finished 24th
- 00:19:34.051 --> 00:19:37.822
- In math out of 30 nations and 25th in science.
- 00:19:37.822 --> 00:19:41.993
- We recently had a contest,
- 00:19:42.560 --> 00:19:45.396
- Equal contest between belgium and the united states.
- 00:19:45.396 --> 00:19:49.166
- The belgium students on this task lord 76%.
- 00:19:49.166 --> 00:19:53.037
- We scored 43%.
- 00:19:53.037 --> 00:19:55.373
- And you look at it across the boards,
- 00:19:55.373 --> 00:19:57.908
- Anyone who says, well, our educational system
- 00:19:57.908 --> 00:20:00.711
- Is superior to anyone in the world,
- 00:20:00.711 --> 00:20:02.847
- Not k through 12,
- 00:20:02.847 --> 00:20:05.950
- It simply cannot be verified.
- 00:20:05.950 --> 00:20:09.387
- Healing broken schools.
- 00:20:09.887 --> 00:20:13.691
- Because there has arisen
- 00:20:14.225 --> 00:20:16.260
- Another generation
- 00:20:16.260 --> 00:20:19.597
- That does not know the lord and is not equipped
- 00:20:19.597 --> 00:20:22.266
- To live in the 21st century because we have not
- 00:20:22.266 --> 00:20:26.237
- Taught them effectively
- 00:20:26.237 --> 00:20:29.740
- And with responsibility and with accountability.
- 00:20:29.740 --> 00:20:33.978
- Where do you start?
- 00:20:33.978 --> 00:20:35.546
- My suggestions are not exhaustive.
- 00:20:35.546 --> 00:20:40.384
- But i think i would start with
- 00:20:40.985 --> 00:20:44.255
- We the people taking back
- 00:20:44.255 --> 00:20:47.224
- Our public educational system.
- 00:20:47.224 --> 00:20:50.428
- We the people.
- 00:20:50.761 --> 00:20:54.098
- And for i would completely eliminate
- 00:20:54.865 --> 00:20:58.602
- The department of education in washington, d.c..
- 00:20:58.602 --> 00:21:05.009
- They have a budget of $56 billion.
- 00:21:05.776 --> 00:21:09.714
- It's called a discretionary budget.
- 00:21:09.714 --> 00:21:13.250
- We send our tax money up there.
- 00:21:13.884 --> 00:21:16.721
- They get $56 billion.
- 00:21:16.721 --> 00:21:19.457
- They pay 8% of the cost in the average public school system,
- 00:21:19.457 --> 00:21:23.627
- But it takes 50% of the cost
- 00:21:23.627 --> 00:21:26.497
- To just administer that which they have given us
- 00:21:26.497 --> 00:21:29.233
- With all the paperwork involved.
- 00:21:29.233 --> 00:21:30.935
- And they're trying to dictate as to how
- 00:21:30.935 --> 00:21:33.070
- And when and where we teach our kids.
- 00:21:33.070 --> 00:21:35.840
- Why don't
- 00:21:35.840 --> 00:21:36.941
- They let us keep that tax money that we send up there,
- 00:21:36.941 --> 00:21:40.378
- And we can use it ourselves with local funds
- 00:21:40.378 --> 00:21:43.080
- And state funds, because we, the people and the parents
- 00:21:43.080 --> 00:21:46.384
- And the teachers involved are better able to do the job.
- 00:21:46.384 --> 00:21:50.454
- I would make every principal
- 00:21:51.055 --> 00:21:53.324
- Of every school function like a
- 00:21:53.324 --> 00:21:56.761
- Enough l owner,
- 00:21:57.128 --> 00:21:59.697
- Nfl owned football teams.
- 00:21:59.697 --> 00:22:01.632
- I'd say a principal. here's your school.
- 00:22:01.632 --> 00:22:03.434
- The superintendent would be the commissioner of the league,
- 00:22:03.434 --> 00:22:07.071
- And that principal have the ability to build
- 00:22:07.071 --> 00:22:10.441
- That school up where it has integrity and quality teaching.
- 00:22:10.441 --> 00:22:13.844
- And you would see a whole new regime
- 00:22:13.844 --> 00:22:16.180
- As far as curriculum, as activities,
- 00:22:16.180 --> 00:22:18.082
- Everything is going on.
- 00:22:18.082 --> 00:22:20.284
- So we the people,
- 00:22:20.284 --> 00:22:22.787
- It's not going to come from the inside,
- 00:22:22.787 --> 00:22:24.522
- The educational system, i'll tell you that.
- 00:22:24.522 --> 00:22:26.590
- We've had long enough, have we?
- 00:22:26.590 --> 00:22:28.125
- It's going to come
- 00:22:28.125 --> 00:22:29.160
- From the outside when we, the people take back
- 00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:32.663
- Public school education
- 00:22:33.164 --> 00:22:35.166
- First thing.
- 00:22:35.166 --> 00:22:39.170
- Second thing
- 00:22:39.503 --> 00:22:41.806
- That i would do is to take a thorough
- 00:22:41.806 --> 00:22:44.909
- Look at the curriculum,
- 00:22:44.909 --> 00:22:47.645
- The curriculums of every individual school.
- 00:22:47.645 --> 00:22:51.615
- We can personalize it.
- 00:22:52.082 --> 00:22:54.151
- We can meet the needs of how these kids learn.
- 00:22:54.151 --> 00:22:58.055
- A lot of kids go out of school and say, boy, i'm dumb
- 00:22:58.055 --> 00:23:01.058
- And they're not dumb.
- 00:23:01.058 --> 00:23:02.326
- They have brilliance in certain area.
- 00:23:02.326 --> 00:23:04.228
- A member of my family struggle all the way through school.
- 00:23:04.228 --> 00:23:08.699
- This person never finished college, struggled
- 00:23:08.699 --> 00:23:11.402
- And struggled and struggled.
- 00:23:11.402 --> 00:23:13.103
- We said, boy, he's
- 00:23:13.103 --> 00:23:14.138
- Just not gifted as the rest of our family.
- 00:23:14.138 --> 00:23:16.474
- Recently, within the last 3 or 4 months, he took an iq
- 00:23:16.474 --> 00:23:20.244
- Test and scored over 140 c.
- 00:23:20.244 --> 00:23:24.248
- They never figured it out in schools.
- 00:23:24.248 --> 00:23:26.984
- So we have to look at our curriculum
- 00:23:27.751 --> 00:23:29.753
- As to how we teach our kids and draw it out of.
- 00:23:29.753 --> 00:23:32.656
- And we can personalize that to
- 00:23:32.656 --> 00:23:34.158
- Computers and a lot of methodology.
- 00:23:34.158 --> 00:23:35.960
- And that can be done right now in the 21st century
- 00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:39.497
- With relatively ease.
- 00:23:39.497 --> 00:23:43.234
- The third thing i would do,
- 00:23:43.834 --> 00:23:46.103
- I would give choice and vouchers to every parent so
- 00:23:46.103 --> 00:23:50.541
- A kid can go to school wherever they want to go to
- 00:23:50.541 --> 00:23:53.444
- School.
- 00:23:53.444 --> 00:23:58.582
- Choice.
- 00:23:58.816 --> 00:23:59.950
- You can go anywhere your son or daughter wants to go.
- 00:23:59.950 --> 00:24:02.319
- They can choose if they can be admitted vouchers.
- 00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:05.990
- This means they would get 5 to $10,000.
- 00:24:05.990 --> 00:24:08.759
- They go to any kind of school.
- 00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:10.394
- What happens when we have choice and vouchers?
- 00:24:10.394 --> 00:24:13.430
- Schools have different kinds of personality.
- 00:24:13.430 --> 00:24:16.000
- Schools are competitive,
- 00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:17.735
- Not just athletically and academically,
- 00:24:17.735 --> 00:24:20.004
- But they're competitive for kids.
- 00:24:20.004 --> 00:24:22.273
- That brings a quality up.
- 00:24:22.273 --> 00:24:24.975
- The problem with public education,
- 00:24:24.975 --> 00:24:27.378
- Simply said in one word, is the word monopoly.
- 00:24:27.378 --> 00:24:31.181
- A monopoly does not work anywhere.
- 00:24:31.949 --> 00:24:34.151
- Remember, we had only one phone company.
- 00:24:34.151 --> 00:24:36.487
- We had those old ugly phones.
- 00:24:36.487 --> 00:24:38.222
- We had high phone bills. now we got a lot of them.
- 00:24:38.222 --> 00:24:40.558
- What's happening?
- 00:24:40.558 --> 00:24:42.359
- Monopoly had
- 00:24:42.693 --> 00:24:44.328
- Only one place to eat in all of 100 mile area.
- 00:24:44.328 --> 00:24:48.566
- They wouldn't have to worry about the quality of food.
- 00:24:48.566 --> 00:24:50.301
- That'd be the only place we could eat.
- 00:24:50.301 --> 00:24:52.937
- Monopolies will kill anything.
- 00:24:52.937 --> 00:24:55.139
- You drive out competition.
- 00:24:55.139 --> 00:24:56.740
- And when you have a
- 00:24:56.740 --> 00:24:58.108
- Public monopoly, that's the deadliest thing of all.
- 00:24:58.108 --> 00:25:01.445
- When it's underwritten by your tax money in mind, we.
- 00:25:01.445 --> 00:25:04.748
- This will break the monopoly.
- 00:25:04.748 --> 00:25:06.283
- And all of a sudden, you would have a school
- 00:25:06.283 --> 00:25:08.185
- That may not have a football team.
- 00:25:08.185 --> 00:25:09.687
- They'd emphasize the arts. you may not have a school.
- 00:25:09.687 --> 00:25:11.989
- You'd have schools that develop personality and uniqueness,
- 00:25:11.989 --> 00:25:15.726
- And we'd be able to choose what best fits our kids.
- 00:25:15.726 --> 00:25:20.598
- Boy, it would change.
- 00:25:20.598 --> 00:25:21.799
- You would put the free enterprise system
- 00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:23.434
- In the marketplace. it would be fabulous.
- 00:25:23.434 --> 00:25:25.936
- And for one of a better word, every school will sort of
- 00:25:25.936 --> 00:25:29.840
- Be like these specialized schools that we see.
- 00:25:29.840 --> 00:25:33.444
- Boy, it would change the
- 00:25:33.978 --> 00:25:35.279
- Quality of education.
- 00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:38.749
- We the people can speak.
- 00:25:39.283 --> 00:25:42.086
- We can take back our public
- 00:25:42.686 --> 00:25:44.154
- Educational system.
- 00:25:44.154 --> 00:25:48.525
- Ladies and gentlemen.
- 00:25:49.026 --> 00:25:50.828
- In the name of the lord god almighty.
- 00:25:50.828 --> 00:25:55.199
- It's a time for boldness.
- 00:25:55.766 --> 00:26:02.206
- America the beautiful, our country
- 00:26:02.940 --> 00:26:06.176
- After home sweet home.
- 00:26:06.176 --> 00:26:08.212
- But our america is hurting.
- 00:26:08.212 --> 00:26:10.814
- We see it in our fractured, divided communities
- 00:26:10.814 --> 00:26:13.751
- And in our struggling families.
- 00:26:13.751 --> 00:26:16.453
- God's answer for a broken nation has never been found
- 00:26:16.453 --> 00:26:19.690
- In politics, power, or human effort alone.
- 00:26:19.690 --> 00:26:23.460
- God says, if my people who are called by
- 00:26:23.460 --> 00:26:26.530
- My name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and
- 00:26:26.530 --> 00:26:31.201
- Turn from their wicked ways, then i will hear from heaven,
- 00:26:31.201 --> 00:26:34.772
- Forgive their sin, and heal their land.
- 00:26:34.772 --> 00:26:38.609
- Healing begins when god's people return to him.
- 00:26:38.609 --> 00:26:42.112
- In his powerful book, healing broken america.
- 00:26:42.112 --> 00:26:45.616
- Doctor jung explores the spiritual path toward
- 00:26:45.616 --> 00:26:48.519
- Healing and restoration through faith, family,
- 00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:51.989
- And the values that have shaped generations of americans.
- 00:26:51.989 --> 00:26:55.659
- Because when
- 00:26:55.659 --> 00:26:56.694
- Hearts are transformed by god, lives are changed,
- 00:26:56.694 --> 00:27:00.330
- Families are restored, and the nation can begin to heal.
