Thomas Sowell on what’s wrong with education today: “Too many students are introduced to a certain vision of the world—for example, the capitalists are exploiting the workers.” “They just memorize that, and they talk about it as if it’s a known fact. There’s no developing in those students the... show more

After 1980 the Department of Education prioritized grades over process. So they set the agenda, incentivized the teachers to carry it out, and forced the students to memorize instead of question. That is how we got to where we are today.

I rise for students, teachers, families, and everyone out there frightened about what’s happening to education. We won’t stand by while they dismantle education, gut civil rights, and attack programs that serve all students, including students with disabilities. In New Mexico, we know that our children are our future and education is the key. Which is why I’m in this fight all the way!

#WATCH | Hyderabad, Telangana: Supriya Gaud, a relative of the student who was allegedly given religious homework, says, "Yesterday, I went to the school to pick my nephew up and I saw that the contents in his diary was something which is not related to the subject. I saw a teacher writing to read Kalma and Sucralfate. That is absolutely wrong... If you are giving education, just do that. Students from different religions, different aspects are coming to get the education. They're coming for quality education... Kalma and Sucralfate is not a part of the subject, it is a religious book. Do not mix it up. If you want to make it a subject, please put Bhagavad Gita, Bible as a subject... I am really thankful to the school management because they have taken the strict action on this. We have seen the diary and we have raised our voice. I don't know in how many diaries and how many students this has been going..."

Thomas Sowell on the troubling state of our education system: “We’re raising whole generations who regard facts as more or less optional. You have kids in elementary school who are being urged to take stands on political issues.” “They’re not being taught that it’s important to know what you’re talking about—it’s important to hear the opposite viewpoint, and more important, to learn how to distinguish why viewpoint A and viewpoint B are different and which one has the most evidence or logic behind it.” “They disregard that. They hear something and they hear some rhetoric, and they run with it.”

Thomas Sowell: ”Education is one of the major institutions in our society that is failing, more than most others. It is failing in many ways: it’s failing to teach students how to think, failing to give them a background knowledge in history, and failing to allow them to express views that are different than what is being propagandized. Schools have become propaganda agencies more so than educational institutions.”

Thomas Sowell on why educational standards have fallen in recent decades: “The people who go into teaching are really the lowest level of college students.” “If you look at the test scores of people who major in education, compared to people who major in history, science, or anything else virtually, they are at the bottom—and have been for something like half a century.”

I raised my concerns today regarding free speech on our university campuses. 🏛️ Whether it's Zionist views, gender-critical perspectives or climate scepticism, there is a demonstrable two-tier approach to free speech playing out across our higher education institutions and it is students who are bearing the brunt of it. The Higher Education Freedom of Speech Act was passed precisely to give students the right to bring complaints to the Office for Students. I posed this to the Minister today and I do not believe his response was correct. It is, after all, called the Office for Students, not the Office for Everyone on Campus Except Students. The Free Speech Union

🛑🇧🇫- Captain Ibrahim Traore on why the government wants to control the flow of international students. He said they are currently counting the number of Burkinabè students who are studying overseas. Out of 1000 students in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦, over 800 of them left the country without the government knowing. Our embassy over there has no record of them. And guess what those 800 people are studying? Charia law and Islamic laws and none of them is learning a trade. So, he asked: where are they intending to apply those laws? In Burkina Faso 🇧🇫? Not here. Captain said he is going to bring them back home, and if they refuse, then they are no longer Burkinabè. Will your country ever address this? Radical islam is a cancer that needs to be addressed. If we pretend as if it’s not a threat to Africa, we are just fooling ourselves. Terrorism started with them. Remember, the imperialists are always using religion and ethnicism to divide Africans.

Poverty is the biggest curse inflicted upon humanity. Samdish recently visited a remote government middle school in Jharkhand. Talking about the students, the teachers said that 70% of the students live alone because their parents are working in factories in Tamil Nadu. These students cook for themselves, take care of their cattle, and then go to school. Just to earn ₹20,000 a month, their parents have to leave their children at home and work in factories thousands of kilometres away. The teachers have to take care of these children whenever they are in need. If a child doesn't come to school for two consecutive days, the teachers visit their home to find out whether they are safe and well. And what is a teacher's salary? Even after having 20 years of experience, they earn just ₹20,000 a month, and even that salary is often delayed by the government. No matter how much noise we make about becoming a $5 trillion economy, the fact remains that millions of people are still struggling today to earn a mere ₹10,000–₹20,000 a month.

JUST IN: Alejandro Mayorkas appears to throw Biden's inner circle under the bus for not allowing him to secure the border, says "decisions are made" and people just carry them out. 4 years of irreversible damage and he decides to speak up now. "People have different views on what the correct policies should be, what the correct operational measures should be. Those disagreements, those different views are voiced." "Decisions are made, and then everyone marches in unity together. That is the nature of a large organization, and the government is no different."

Pastor Erik Reed boldly putting an end to the "both sides" arguments we've seen from many Christians over the last few weeks and calling out the Democrats for being at war with "creational reality." "We are living in a world where there are two different visions for what kind of society we want to live in. And if Christ is not in the foundations of what we're doing with our vision for the future, if the Christian foundation and worldview that made our country great to begin with is not there, and everybody's just doing what's right in their own eyes, you can guarantee chaos will ensue. We are choosing between two distinct futures. They are not the same. Our two political parties in our country are not morally equivalent to each other... I am not baptizing the Republican Party. They did not come from Mount Sinai on high from God to say 'Thus saith the Lord.' But the current state of the Democratic Party, as they are...they are a party at war with creational realities every day. Creational realities. They are at war about what it means to be a man or a woman, about marriage, about sexuality, about who has the right to live in a womb. They are at war with life and prosperity. There is one side in particular with a progressive ideology that not only tried to suppress the story of the young woman in Charlotte, but who celebrated, both in the media and with college professors and many others, the death of a man whose beliefs they did not hold... And if you're more concerned with what I've just said in the last two or three minutes, about sounding partisan, than you are concerned about the reality of what's actually happening in our society right now, you have lost the plot."

Graham Platner: “It’s no surprise to me the establishment media outlets are just gonna run gossip instead of wanting to talk about the things that actually matter in this race which are the material realities Mainers are working with. These people are gonna try to make this race about anything but what’s it’s supposed to be about which is policy. Amy and I have a very loving and very happy marriage. They would very much like to try to rip that apart. They’re gonna come after us in every awful way they possibly can and we’re just gonna keep talking about the fact that the hospitals are closing, childcare facilities are closing, teachers and nurses aren’t paid enough and that everybody down here continues to work harder and longer and get less. The powers that be don’t want us to talk about that so they’re just gonna do gossip instead… What Genevieve McDonald said in the NYT is not true”

JUST IN - GOV. RON DESANTIS ON TAKING IN 600K CHINESE STUDENTS: "I'd rather those slots go to American students." "A significant percentage of the Chinese students, they are engaged with the CCP. It used to be, they would say 'oh, you bring the people from China, they're going to love America. They'll go back and be ambassadors and China will change.' But, obviously, that has not happened. Because this has been going on for decades." "The fact we have 300,000 now is way out of bounds of what most people want to see."
