FULL BLOWN PONZI SCHEME! NATIONWIDE, PUBLIC SCHOOLS STOP GIVING D'S AND F'S TO STUDENTS blaming race as a reason to socially promote! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:00
Speaker 1: There is a new assault happening on your children in
0:02
Speaker 1: this country. And it's not just critical race theory. It's
0:06
Speaker 1: not just calling parents that school board meetings domestic terrorists.
0:10
Speaker 1: It's not just like the California school board president that
0:13
Speaker 1: was caught on a hot mic telling a parent to
0:15
Speaker 1: fu because they were concerned their kids weren't getting a
0:19
Speaker 1: good education. There is a new assault on your kids
0:22
Speaker 1: future and it deals with the grades that they are
0:25
Speaker 1: receiving in schools. Now, you know what schools are doing.
0:29
Speaker 1: They're trying to indoctrinate your children. Just last night on MSNBC,
0:35
Speaker 1: a perfect example of this was this new warning that
0:39
Speaker 1: many school districts are sending messages that in essence are racist.
0:45
Speaker 1: This is how they started their report as there is
0:48
Speaker 1: another major issue against your kids that's happening with their future.
0:52
Speaker 1: It's refusing to fail your kids, refusing to give your
0:55
Speaker 1: kids d's and as even if they deserve them. It's
1:00
Speaker 1: called social promotion. We are now seeing in this country,
1:03
Speaker 1: especially because of what happened last year with a pandemic,
1:07
Speaker 1: that there are a significant number of school districts around
1:09
Speaker 1: the country. I'm talking about hundreds who are refusing to
1:12
Speaker 1: fail kids hold them back or not graduate them. They're
1:14
Speaker 1: socially promoting them. They're moving them through this system regardless
1:19
Speaker 1: of if they taught your kid anything or not. Now,
1:21
Speaker 1: some of this could be the problem of the parents
1:23
Speaker 1: and the children, no doubt about it. Okay, I want
1:25
Speaker 1: to make that clear. Okay, some of this is that
1:31
Speaker 1: there are parents and kids that aren't paying attention, that
1:35
Speaker 1: are lazy, that don't care. But the majority of what
1:38
Speaker 1: we're seeing right now is teachers public school systems that
1:42
Speaker 1: are trying to indoctrinate your kids instead of actually educate
1:44
Speaker 1: your kids. And now with COVID nineteen, the lockdowns and
1:48
Speaker 1: some of the terrible decisions that they've made, kids have
1:50
Speaker 1: fallen behind even more than they were before. So, instead
1:54
Speaker 1: of being honest about how much of a disaster this
1:56
Speaker 1: distance learning has actually been in this country, decided to
2:00
Speaker 1: move in a different direction. That different direction is will
2:04
Speaker 1: promote and socially promote your child to the next grade
2:07
Speaker 1: or graduate them, because why not, right, why wouldn't we
2:13
Speaker 1: It's easier for us to move your kid on even
2:15
Speaker 1: if they can't read, write, or do arithmetic while we
2:17
Speaker 1: indoctrinate them. Because that's what this is really all about.
2:20
Speaker 1: This is about indoctrination. We're not here to educate your kid.
2:25
Speaker 1: We're here to indoctrinate your kid. Now. I want you
2:27
Speaker 1: to listen to part of this intro from MSNBC last night.
2:31
Speaker 1: This is about what they referred to as cultural rewards,
2:36
Speaker 1: and they say that it's the school's job now to
2:39
Speaker 1: teach your kid about race, that includes critical race theory.
2:42
Speaker 1: And if you don't teach your kid about it, then
2:44
Speaker 1: you're a racist and your kids will grow up to
2:46
Speaker 1: be racist because we're no longer teaching your kids how
2:48
Speaker 1: to read right into arithmetic. That's not the job of
2:52
Speaker 1: public education. It's to indoctrinate your kids to hate America,
2:55
Speaker 1: hate their own skin color if they're white, and reparation
3:00
Speaker 1: and everything else they want to do. Guest warns against
3:02
Speaker 1: the influential followers of a new sort of religion. In
3:06
Speaker 1: his newest book, Woke Racism, John mcquarter writes, quote third
3:11
Speaker 1: wave anti racism, in its laser focus on an oversimplified
3:16
Speaker 1: sense of what racism is and what one does about it,
3:20
Speaker 1: is content to harm black people in the name of
3:23
Speaker 1: what we can only term dogma. It's a lot back
3:27
Speaker 1: with us again tonight easily our favorite linguist around here.
3:30
Speaker 1: The aforementioned John mcwarter, armed with a PhD in linguists
3:34
Speaker 1: from linguistics from Stanford. He as a professor at Columbia
3:37
Speaker 1: University in New York, a contributor at The Atlantic. His
3:40
Speaker 1: latest book is Woke Racism, How a New Religion has
3:44
Speaker 1: Betrayed Black America, now in the top ten list of
3:47
Speaker 1: the New York Times Bestsellers. It's a pleasure to have you.
3:51
Speaker 1: And I'm so curious, having written this, having just released this,
3:56
Speaker 1: you're watching last night's returns, how much of the theme
4:00
Speaker 1: echoed back to you? And do you have a kind
4:03
Speaker 1: of realization that we may be approaching a realization on
4:08
Speaker 1: the part of the Democrats that the language of wokeism
4:12
Speaker 1: just might be political suicide. Well, yeah, I think that
4:16
Speaker 1: what we're seeing is definitely a pushback against the excesses
4:21
Speaker 1: that we've seen since roughly June of twenty twenty. And
4:25
Speaker 1: excess doesn't mean that, for example, you teach about racism
4:29
Speaker 1: and slavery in schools. What's going on is that in
4:32
Speaker 1: many school districts, in both private and public schools, there
4:36
Speaker 1: is a general message being taught to be white is
4:40
Speaker 1: to be culpable that the whole American experiment can be
4:44
Speaker 1: argued to have been polluted from the very beginning by
4:46
Speaker 1: the stain of racism, and that the essence of being
4:49
Speaker 1: black is being oppressed. A great many people are under
4:53
Speaker 1: the impression that that really is a suitable default education,
4:57
Speaker 1: that teaching kids that particular perspective on things is what
5:02
Speaker 1: an education is supposed to be. And the problem is
5:04
Speaker 1: that's not something that all reasonable people will agree with,
5:08
Speaker 1: and instead, what we have is this word game where
5:11
Speaker 1: somebody calls what I just said critical race theory, and
5:15
Speaker 1: then somebody else says, well, that's not what's in papers
5:17
Speaker 1: that some legal scholars wrote thirty and forty years ago.
5:21
Speaker 1: That isn't being taught to eight year olds, as if
5:22
Speaker 1: that's what anybody meant. And so the terms of all
5:25
Speaker 1: of this are extremely frustrating because they are certain people, brilliant,
5:31
Speaker 1: wise people who are insisting that anyone who doesn't like
5:35
Speaker 1: the direction that so many schools are taking in terms
5:38
Speaker 1: of what they think of as instruction is some kind
5:41
Speaker 1: of bigot, that what this is racism rearing its ugly head,
5:45
Speaker 1: when really it's just that people will differ on how
5:49
Speaker 1: slavery and racism are taught in schools, and when they're
5:52
Speaker 1: told that they're fools for questioning it, they have a
5:54
Speaker 1: right to be offended. And this sort of thing could
5:57
Speaker 1: start affecting elections, and we're going to see more of
5:59
Speaker 1: these old, we're simplified analyzes that all it is is
6:02
Speaker 1: racism and backlash and ignorance, when really it's something much
6:06
Speaker 1: more complex. It's by the way, I got to jump
6:09
Speaker 1: in here, but I wanted you to hear the core
6:11
Speaker 1: of this argument. So their argument now on the left
6:13
Speaker 1: is Okay, maybe we need to do a better job
6:16
Speaker 1: of explaining critical race theory. Maybe we need to do
6:20
Speaker 1: a better job of not calling it critical race here.
6:22
Speaker 1: Maybe we need to package it differently. We want to
6:24
Speaker 1: teach the same thing, right, we want to. We want
6:27
Speaker 1: to teach the same thing, but we would just need
6:31
Speaker 1: to package it better, to make it more woke. Package
6:35
Speaker 1: it better to not be so blatant to tell white
6:36
Speaker 1: kids it should be ashamed of being white. Now, critical
6:39
Speaker 1: race theory is being taught. Critical race theory is real.
6:43
Speaker 1: Critical race theory curriculum is also real, and your tax
6:46
Speaker 1: stars are paying for it. But while all of this
6:48
Speaker 1: is going on you may want to know what's actually
6:51
Speaker 1: happening in your kids' schools. I started by saying that
6:58
Speaker 1: this public school system that we have created this country,
7:00
Speaker 1: which is about inducting your kids in ideology, not about reading, writing, arithmetic,
7:04
Speaker 1: has now got a huge problem. Los Angeles Times is
7:07
Speaker 1: now reporting that many school districts across the country, our
7:10
Speaker 1: face was soaring at number of d's and f's. So
7:13
Speaker 1: schools have decided, instead of doing a better job of
7:15
Speaker 1: teaching a kid, they're just going to change the way
7:17
Speaker 1: they grade your kids. You're paying for this, whether your
7:20
Speaker 1: kids in a public and private school, whether you have
7:22
Speaker 1: kids or not, you're paying for it. If you pay taxes,
7:24
Speaker 1: you're paying for this pandemic for school closures. Revealed how
7:29
Speaker 1: grade point systems hurt quote unquote disadvantaged children, prompting educators
7:34
Speaker 1: to look for ways to bring equity to gradings. So
7:37
Speaker 1: now we're going to give kids different grades based on
7:40
Speaker 1: their economic and social conditions they live in and the
7:43
Speaker 1: color of their skin. To fix the fact that liberals
7:47
Speaker 1: shut down schools when they shouldn't have. Private schools kept
7:50
Speaker 1: them open, and instead of actually going back and teaching
7:54
Speaker 1: your kids where they didn't teach your kid last year.
7:56
Speaker 1: They want to change the way they grade your kid
7:59
Speaker 1: so that they can then move your kid to the
8:01
Speaker 1: next grade, losing an entire year basically of education, and
8:06
Speaker 1: they still got paid for this. A few years ago,
8:10
Speaker 1: high school teacher Joshua Marino got fed up with his
8:13
Speaker 1: grading system, which had become a points game. Some students
8:17
Speaker 1: accummended so many points early on that by the end
8:20
Speaker 1: of the term they knew they didn't need to do
8:23
Speaker 1: more work and could still get an a. Others, often
8:26
Speaker 1: those who had to work or care for family members
8:29
Speaker 1: after school, would fail to turn in their homework and
8:32
Speaker 1: fall so far behind that they would just stop trying.
8:36
Speaker 1: It was literally inequitable. He said. As a teacher, you
8:41
Speaker 1: get frustrated because what you signed up for was for
8:45
Speaker 1: students to learn, and it just ended up being a
8:47
Speaker 1: conversation about points all the time. These days, his high
8:51
Speaker 1: school and as an English teacher, has done away with
8:54
Speaker 1: points entirely. He no longer gives students homework and gives
8:58
Speaker 1: them multiple opportunities to improve essays and class work. The
9:03
Speaker 1: goal is to base grades on what the students are
9:06
Speaker 1: learning and remove behavior deadlines and how much work they
9:11
Speaker 1: do from the equation. All right, so let's translate that
9:14
Speaker 1: into real world. So think about what we're teaching our
9:17
Speaker 1: kids now. We are teaching our kids that you don't
9:20
Speaker 1: have to actually behave in the classroom. Right. We're taking
9:25
Speaker 1: we're removing behavior, We're removing deadlines, which is what you're
9:30
Speaker 1: going to have in the real world. And the real world,
9:32
Speaker 1: the only way you're going to keep a job is
9:34
Speaker 1: if you get crap done on time. And if you
9:36
Speaker 1: don't get crap done on time, or you don't do
9:38
Speaker 1: things during each day when you were at work, here
9:41
Speaker 1: is what happens. You and I both know the answer.
9:44
Speaker 1: You and I both know exactly what happens. What happens.
9:48
Speaker 1: What happens, You get fired, you get laid off. So
9:52
Speaker 1: we're gonna now coddle kids all the way through high school,
9:55
Speaker 1: and we're going to coddle them to the point when
9:59
Speaker 1: they immediately go and they get their first job. We
10:02
Speaker 1: what do we do? We shut them down indefinitely in
10:05
Speaker 1: the real world. We shut them down because they've never
10:08
Speaker 1: even been taught that they have to do anything on time,
10:11
Speaker 1: which is also insanity. It gets better the changes this
10:19
Speaker 1: English teacher Marino embraced are part of a growing trend
10:22
Speaker 1: nationwide in which educators are moving away from traditional point
10:27
Speaker 1: driven grading system aiming to close large academic gaps among racial, ethnic,
10:33
Speaker 1: and economic groups. So, in other words, we're going woke
10:35
Speaker 1: in our grading system, where if you're a white kid,
10:38
Speaker 1: it will be harder for you to get A. If
10:40
Speaker 1: you're a rich kid, it'll be harder for you to
10:42
Speaker 1: get an A than if you are poor or a minority.
10:45
Speaker 1: It may be harder to get an A in some
10:47
Speaker 1: schools than the other school across town, because we're gonna
10:51
Speaker 1: judge you at a different level because of your economic
10:54
Speaker 1: and social conditions. We will punish kids whose parents were successful,
11:03
Speaker 1: and we will embrace kids whose parents might be unsuccessful.
11:08
Speaker 1: That's literally what they're now saying in this grading system.
11:12
Speaker 1: You're welcome. This is happening nationwide all because of one
11:16
Speaker 1: year of law schooling, And in that one year of
11:18
Speaker 1: law schooling, we decided, instead of actually going back in
11:22
Speaker 1: teaching the kids because grown adults screwed up what they
11:25
Speaker 1: should be taught, we've decided to skip over the entire
11:28
Speaker 1: year in trade and change the way we're grading so
11:31
Speaker 1: that we don't have to actually admit we got it
11:33
Speaker 1: wrong in society. The changes that this English teacher Marino embrace,
11:37
Speaker 1: they say, are part of a growing trend in which
11:39
Speaker 1: educators are moving away from a grading system they say
11:44
Speaker 1: is racist, they say, accelerated by the pandemic and school
11:49
Speaker 1: closures that cause troubling increases in these and fs across
11:53
Speaker 1: the country, and by calls to examine the role of
11:58
Speaker 1: institutionalized races m in schools, and the aftermath of the
12:02
Speaker 1: murder of George Floyd by a police officer. Okay, let's
12:05
Speaker 1: just take that last sentence for a second and think
12:07
Speaker 1: about what we're doing nationwide now. We are changing the
12:10
Speaker 1: way that we grade kids because the arrest of George
12:13
Speaker 1: Floyd and the murder of George Floyd, which has nothing
12:17
Speaker 1: to do with education. If you can't add, and you
12:22
Speaker 1: can't do two plus two equals four, that has nothing
12:26
Speaker 1: to do with the aftermath the murder of George Floyd,
12:28
Speaker 1: which we condemned in this country. That has nothing to
12:32
Speaker 1: do with that one police officer who committed that crime.
12:36
Speaker 1: There is nothing that reading, writing, arithmetic has to do
12:40
Speaker 1: with George Floyd and his arrest and his murder by
12:43
Speaker 1: a police officer. But we're going to fundamentally change the
12:47
Speaker 1: entire way that we grade children because of George Floyd.
12:50
Speaker 1: It makes no sense to connect that dot. Yet they are,
12:53
Speaker 1: and this is happening nationwide. Los Angeles and San Diego
12:57
Speaker 1: Unified school Districts, the state's too large school districts in California,
13:01
Speaker 1: with some six hundred and sixty thousand students combined, have
13:04
Speaker 1: recently directed teachers to quote base their academic grades on
13:10
Speaker 1: whether students have learned what was expected them during a course,
13:14
Speaker 1: and not penalize them for behavior, work habits, and missdeadlines.
13:20
Speaker 1: So we're teaching kids to totally be irresponsible and going
13:24
Speaker 1: to indoctrinate them that there is no penalty in life
13:28
Speaker 1: for your behavior. Right, There's no penalty in life for
13:32
Speaker 1: your work habits, and there's no penalty in life for
13:35
Speaker 1: missdeadlines and not doing work on time. I cannot tell
13:38
Speaker 1: you how many sleepless nights I had in high school
13:41
Speaker 1: and in college because I procrastinated to the last minute
13:45
Speaker 1: and then had to cram to get work done. And
13:49
Speaker 1: what it teaches you about life is that you might
13:52
Speaker 1: need to actually in life not wait till the last
13:55
Speaker 1: minute and not cram. Okay, that's what it teaches you
14:00
Speaker 1: in life. Understand that that's what it teaches you. And
14:07
Speaker 1: everybody needs to understand that that is what it teaches you.
14:12
Speaker 1: This is what it teaches you, and we're going to
14:15
Speaker 1: get rid of that. So if a kid decides to
14:17
Speaker 1: do his coursework on schedule and he turns it in,
14:22
Speaker 1: there is no penalty for the other kid who decided
14:26
Speaker 1: not to do his course work. No penalty if the
14:30
Speaker 1: kid does it tomorrow or the next day, or the
14:31
Speaker 1: next week or the next month. In other words, just
14:33
Speaker 1: do it whenever you want to do it, and you
14:35
Speaker 1: won't be penalized if you don't. How does that prepare
14:38
Speaker 1: our children for the real world. This is what your
14:41
Speaker 1: tax stars going to again, this is part of what
14:43
Speaker 1: we need to do in an America days. Understand you
14:46
Speaker 1: are enabling, enabling this destruction of America if you are
14:50
Speaker 1: not involved and you don't get involved because you pay taxes.
14:56
Speaker 1: For far too long, we've had lack of accountability for
14:59
Speaker 1: our money. And I'm talking about lack of personal accountability.
15:02
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the government. The government figured it out.
15:04
Speaker 1: They figured out that we're really stupid that will pay
15:07
Speaker 1: our taxes, and they have an unlimited amount of firepower
15:11
Speaker 1: financially to do whatever the hell they want to do. Financially,
15:16
Speaker 1: they can indoctrinate your children, change this country, raise people
15:20
Speaker 1: to hate America, and apparently there's nothing that we will
15:23
Speaker 1: do to stop it. That is a problem, and that's
15:28
Speaker 1: what we are doing. And that's exactly now what they're
15:31
Speaker 1: teaching your kids. You don't have to worry about your behavior.
15:35
Speaker 1: You can tell a teacher to blink off and you'll
15:36
Speaker 1: still get an agg We're not going to judge you
15:39
Speaker 1: for that. We're not going to penalize you for your
15:41
Speaker 1: work habits. We're not going to penalize you for not studying.
15:43
Speaker 1: We're not going to penalize you for missdeadlines. So imagine
15:47
Speaker 1: the shell's shock when you go out into society and
15:50
Speaker 1: you get your first job and you don't do your job,
15:52
Speaker 1: or you don't show up on time and you get fired.
15:54
Speaker 1: We raised you to say that you can basically make
15:57
Speaker 1: your own rules, that everybody can do their own rules.
16:00
Speaker 1: And if you out and and by the way, if
16:02
Speaker 1: a boss tells you do something you don't want to
16:03
Speaker 1: do it, you can tell them go to hell. And
16:05
Speaker 1: if they fire you, you're gonna be angry because you
16:07
Speaker 1: were taught that that's acceptable behavior in society, and we
16:10
Speaker 1: graduated you with great grades because of it. It's teaching
16:14
Speaker 1: students that failure is a part of learning. We fall,
16:17
Speaker 1: we get back up, we learn from the feedback that
16:19
Speaker 1: we get. That's what Alison Yoshimoto, a LA Unified Chief
16:25
Speaker 1: Academic Officers said about the new guidelines. Traditional grading has
16:30
Speaker 1: often been used to justify and to provide unequal educational
16:34
Speaker 1: opportunities based on a student's race or class. So if
16:37
Speaker 1: you're failing, you can just say, well, you're I'm failing
16:40
Speaker 1: because I'm black, I'm Asian, I'm African American, I'm Indian,
16:44
Speaker 1: I'm Mexican, I'm Hispanic, whatever whatever you identify as. I'm transgender.
16:48
Speaker 1: We're now telling kids that if you are failing, it's
16:51
Speaker 1: because someone is judging you based on race or class.
16:55
Speaker 1: I'm poor. You can't expect me to turn in my work.
16:59
Speaker 1: Senior Executive Director of the Division of Instruction to Principles
17:03
Speaker 1: last month actually said justify Churchill grading has often been
17:08
Speaker 1: used to justify it in to provide unequal educational opportunities
17:12
Speaker 1: based on a student's race or class. That's what they
17:16
Speaker 1: said in writing quote, by continue to use century old
17:20
Speaker 1: grading practices, we inadvertently perpetuate achievement and opportunity gaps, rewarding
17:26
Speaker 1: our most privileged students. So if you make AI's, it's
17:29
Speaker 1: only because you're privileged. If you've turned your work in
17:32
Speaker 1: on time, it's only because you're privileged. If you don't
17:35
Speaker 1: have behavioral issues in the classroom, it's only because you're privileged.
17:40
Speaker 1: We inadvertently perpetuate achievement and opportunity gaps, rewarding our most
17:43
Speaker 1: privileged students and punish those who are not the letter
17:47
Speaker 1: set quoting the educational grading consultant Joe Feldman, whoever the
17:51
Speaker 1: hell that is? Quote. The ears of need to change
17:55
Speaker 1: became painfully apparent during the pandemic, when schools were forced
17:58
Speaker 1: to close as educators grappled with how to fairly grade
18:02
Speaker 1: students living through an unpresent disruption to their education. Some
18:06
Speaker 1: of the challenges that student face are unique to the pandemic.
18:10
Speaker 1: Others had long been present and were more visible. Suddenly,
18:16
Speaker 1: teachers had an inside view of the crowded home conditions
18:18
Speaker 1: of some low income students. They saw how some teenagers
18:21
Speaker 1: were caring for younger siblings while trying to do their
18:24
Speaker 1: work and witness the impact of the digital divide as
18:27
Speaker 1: students with spotty internet access struggled to log on to class.
18:32
Speaker 1: The COVID pandemic just highlighted across the nation a trend
18:36
Speaker 1: of looking at the inequalities in learning circumstances for students.
18:42
Speaker 1: The director of ADG Intervention and Support for the LA
18:45
Speaker 1: Unified School District said, saying, quote, but those different circumstances
18:49
Speaker 1: of learning have always been present. Fieldman a former teacher
18:53
Speaker 1: and administrator who wrote the book Grading for Equity, Grading
18:58
Speaker 1: for Equity. It's a real book. People are reading this,
19:00
Speaker 1: ying this crap. Have been working for several years of
19:02
Speaker 1: school districts across the country as they reconsidered gritting policies.
19:06
Speaker 1: In October November of twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two
19:09
Speaker 1: academic school year, he suddenly found himself fielding a tidal
19:12
Speaker 1: wave of calls from districts as teachers issued progress reports
19:16
Speaker 1: and realize that ds and ss were skyrocketing. So instead
19:20
Speaker 1: of actually admitting that, hey, we can't teach kids from
19:24
Speaker 1: far away, we need to actually get our kids back
19:27
Speaker 1: in the classroom. Instead of just admitting that maybe we
19:30
Speaker 1: need to repeat a grade for many of these kids
19:32
Speaker 1: that we just failed. We decided to go back and
19:35
Speaker 1: claim and blame racism for the reason that we failed.
19:41
Speaker 1: We claim that we need to change the entire way
19:43
Speaker 1: we do education because of our screw up adults who
19:46
Speaker 1: screwed up big time, and we are going to claim
19:49
Speaker 1: that it's really an equity problem, it's a racism problem.
19:55
Speaker 1: Their words, not mine. Now you look at this and
20:01
Speaker 1: you listen to this, and what you clearly realize is
20:05
Speaker 1: that what they've decided to do is to socially promote
20:08
Speaker 1: and socially approve failure so that they are not held
20:14
Speaker 1: accountable for their actions. You know, there are things that
20:19
Speaker 1: happen in life that suck. I had friends that got
20:21
Speaker 1: very sick. Some of them had issues with childhood cancer,
20:25
Speaker 1: some of them had issues with major health conditions outside
20:30
Speaker 1: of that, and they missed so much school they had
20:32
Speaker 1: to repeat a grade, apply these new rules, and you
20:37
Speaker 1: just say, socially promote them, and then when they're behind
20:40
Speaker 1: the next year, instead of actually fixing that problem, they
20:42
Speaker 1: would say, well, it's not the kid's fault. They had
20:44
Speaker 1: cancer when they were in second grade. Will socially promote
20:47
Speaker 1: them all the way through, and there's no reason not
20:50
Speaker 1: to because we're just helping the kid out. You're not.
20:54
Speaker 1: I go back to the story I mentioned the other
20:55
Speaker 1: day about a kid that graduated value Victorias class, got
21:01
Speaker 1: a job out of high school, didn't go to college,
21:03
Speaker 1: and he was an incredibly bright kid. Unfortunately he was
21:08
Speaker 1: failed by the school district. The employer realized that he
21:11
Speaker 1: had a hard time doing basic reading. They got their employee,
21:14
Speaker 1: who they were supporting, tested. You want to know what
21:17
Speaker 1: they found out the kid at a fourth grade reading level.
21:20
Speaker 1: Fourth grade. They didn't fire the kid, They got him
21:23
Speaker 1: a tutor, They mentored the kid, and they did what
21:26
Speaker 1: the state didn't do for a decade. For a decade,
21:33
Speaker 1: We're about to have that story every day of the
21:34
Speaker 1: week because we've now decided the teachers unions have decided
21:38
Speaker 1: that will blame everything on race, will blame everything on income,
21:41
Speaker 1: and instead of actually going back and re teaching what
21:44
Speaker 1: we didn't teach kids last year, we're going to just
21:47
Speaker 1: give them a different way of grading so we socially
21:49
Speaker 1: promote them and move them down the road, and then
21:51
Speaker 1: we claim this is good for society. This is corruption, fraud,
21:58
Speaker 1: and a Ponzi scheme. I would argue that it's time
22:01
Speaker 1: for students and parents to sue because they're defrauding your
22:05
Speaker 1: children of a education. This is fraud. If you invested
22:12
Speaker 1: in a company and they did this, people would go
22:15
Speaker 1: to jail. Instead, we're celebrating it nationwide with our children's future.
22:21
Speaker 1: You are defrauding a kid, every kid that's under these
22:25
Speaker 1: new rules of a quality, not just quality, a basic education.
22:31
Speaker 1: You know, you look at the media right now and
22:33
Speaker 1: as these grades are being changed by these teachers because
22:38
Speaker 1: they don't want to admit failure of distance learning, they
22:41
Speaker 1: don't want to actually teach kids what they missed last year.
22:45
Speaker 1: So we're just going to totally funningly change public education
22:48
Speaker 1: in this country and blame it on racism and socioeconomic conditions.
22:53
Speaker 1: The media is doing something else. They're telling you that
22:55
Speaker 1: what you're hearing and what you're seeing is not even true.
22:58
Speaker 1: It's not even real. You know, they've been saying critical
23:01
Speaker 1: race theory isn't even being taught in schools, that this
23:04
Speaker 1: is the big fake boogeyman that's been created by conservatives.
23:07
Speaker 1: Even though we know there's curriculum, we know there's receipts.
23:09
Speaker 1: We know people are being paid to teach critical race theory.
23:12
Speaker 1: We know we're in doctrine and kids. I played for
23:14
Speaker 1: you earlier MSNBC talking about, well, maybe we need to
23:17
Speaker 1: call it something different, right, let's not call it critical
23:20
Speaker 1: race SERI, but we need to teach it. Well, CNN's
23:23
Speaker 1: gone with a different approach. They're just telling you that
23:25
Speaker 1: it's not being taught. It's delusional. They're actually claiming that
23:28
Speaker 1: no one is being no one is being taught critical
23:31
Speaker 1: race SERI in Virginia. And then the reason why Democrats
23:34
Speaker 1: lost the elections because of a big lie by Republicans.
23:36
Speaker 1: They doubled down on that when they had on a
23:40
Speaker 1: guest from the NRSC, the chairman a Republican, Rick Scott,
23:44
Speaker 1: on whether Junken ignored Trump. Ignoring Trump is the blueprint
23:50
Speaker 1: for how to get Republicans elected. That's so they claimed
23:53
Speaker 1: they were having him on New Day for this morning.
23:56
Speaker 1: That's what they claimed, right, We're gonna have you on
23:59
Speaker 1: to talk about did Yun can run away from Trump?
24:01
Speaker 1: And maybe that's why I got elected? He ignored Trump,
24:03
Speaker 1: which isn't what happened at all. But that's the new line, right,
24:07
Speaker 1: don't be a Trump person. Run away from Trump and
24:09
Speaker 1: you might get elected. And the real reason why I
24:11
Speaker 1: got elected because he lied to the people about critical
24:13
Speaker 1: race theory. Take a listen to this exchange. They're trying
24:16
Speaker 1: to make you believe that critical race theory is not
24:18
Speaker 1: being taught when we know it is. For fact, I
24:20
Speaker 1: think I think what I think when Democrats going to
24:22
Speaker 1: continue to do is talk about Donald Trump. I think
24:24
Speaker 1: Republican is going to continue to talk about issues. Glenn
24:27
Speaker 1: Yunkan won his race because he talked about issues, and
24:30
Speaker 1: I think that's what's going to happen. What we're gonna
24:33
Speaker 1: see is just like just like in Virginia, Terry mccaulloff
24:37
Speaker 1: wanted to say, oh, there was nothing about critical race theory.
24:39
Speaker 1: We know that, we know it's true. Parents know it's
24:43
Speaker 1: been Their kids are being indoctorated with critical race theory
24:45
Speaker 1: in Virginia and the Democrats going to deny it, and
24:49
Speaker 1: so we showed up because they don't like to. I mean,
24:52
Speaker 1: just just to be clear, it's not it's not in
24:54
Speaker 1: the curriculum um in Virginia. Just just to be which
24:58
Speaker 1: gonna be here. Let me just read your few th
25:00
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen, Well, Terry mccaugh was governor the Virginia
25:03
Speaker 1: Department of Education promoting incorporating and critical race theory lends
25:07
Speaker 1: in education. You can still find it on the Department
25:10
Speaker 1: of Education's website, still there in fairy tent nineteen Superintent
25:14
Speaker 1: memo for the Virginia Department of Education promoting crystal race
25:17
Speaker 1: theory in the idea of white fragility. It's not i'd
25:21
Speaker 1: yesterday ask you I love this. Do you hear Brianna
25:26
Speaker 1: Keiler like, Oh crap, I'm I'm I'm a propaganist. I'm
25:29
Speaker 1: not a not a journalist. I just lie to the country.
25:32
Speaker 1: I keep telling them over again, over and over again,
25:34
Speaker 1: it's not being taught in Virginia, and therefore people will
25:38
Speaker 1: believe me because I'm in the media and I'm holier
25:40
Speaker 1: than now. Senator Rick Scott Chamber of the nash Republican
25:42
Speaker 1: Central Committee is reading for her on the website of
25:45
Speaker 1: the Virginia government dot gov website, where critical race theory
25:50
Speaker 1: has actually not only been taught, but the curriculum is
25:53
Speaker 1: actually being paid for by taxpayer dollars. And she's saying
25:56
Speaker 1: it's not being taught. Yes, it is, no it's not. Yes,
25:58
Speaker 1: it is. This is how the they're no longer journalists
26:01
Speaker 1: in society today. There are propagandists for the Biden administration
26:06
Speaker 1: and for the liberal Democrats, and Brianna Killer is a
26:09
Speaker 1: perfect example that she lied, just to be clear about
26:14
Speaker 1: lets they were trying to indoctrinate kids. Terry mcculloff denied it.
26:19
Speaker 1: It's still on the website. It is. This is happening,
26:24
Speaker 1: and I hope Democrats continue to say it's not happening
26:28
Speaker 1: because parents are dumb. They can see it. Your parents
26:34
Speaker 1: are dumb, you said, aren't dumb. No, they're not. I
26:39
Speaker 1: think parents are smart. My parents didn't have much of
26:41
Speaker 1: a formal education, but they cared about what I learned this.
26:45
Speaker 1: I just I just want to be clear. The station
26:48
Speaker 1: promoted critical race theory and and Terry mcculloff said they didn't.
26:53
Speaker 1: I hope, Okay, listens keep doing that all the country. Fine,
26:57
Speaker 1: it's not part of the curriculum. I would like to
26:59
Speaker 1: move on with you. I want to talk specifically, and
27:01
Speaker 1: I just want to be clear about something, just about
27:03
Speaker 1: where you personally are. I love this. She just says, well,
27:06
Speaker 1: it's not part of the curriculum. He just read from
27:08
Speaker 1: the website where it's a part of the curriculum, and
27:11
Speaker 1: now she says, I'd like to move on. This is
27:13
Speaker 1: how CNN host claims Kurric Racer he isn't being taught
27:16
Speaker 1: virgin the schools and gets wrecked because of the actual
27:18
Speaker 1: receipts where where this was actually being approved, funded and bought.
27:24
Speaker 1: And then when she gets busted, she has what's it's
27:26
Speaker 1: not being taught. It's not it's not officially being taught.
27:28
Speaker 1: I'd like to move on with you, senator. I bet
27:30
Speaker 1: you you would. I bet you you would love to
27:33
Speaker 1: move on from this, because this is the last thing
27:36
Speaker 1: you want to be talked about, that you guys lie
27:39
Speaker 1: and that you guys are wrong. Glenn Yunkin he said,
27:44
Speaker 1: you know what, we are going to launch an aggressive,
27:48
Speaker 1: aggressive charter school program because he realizes that public education
27:53
Speaker 1: is actually broken in his state where he just got reelected.
27:58
Speaker 1: And this is the reason why Democrats are having to
28:01
Speaker 1: figure out a way to change grades for kids. Imagine
28:05
Speaker 1: how bad this makes the public school system look that
28:09
Speaker 1: you are changing grades, but they say, hey, it's better
28:13
Speaker 1: than failing kids. Flat out. What is manipulating and change
28:16
Speaker 1: the system? You fail. No, you didn't. We'll socially promote you,
28:20
Speaker 1: and we'll claim the reason why it is because you're black,
28:22
Speaker 1: or you're brown, or you're a minority, or you're poor.
28:26
Speaker 1: We're not going to fail you because you didn't do
28:28
Speaker 1: your work. We're not gonna fail you for your behavioral issues.
28:31
Speaker 1: We're not going to fail you because you missed a deadline.
28:34
Speaker 1: We're gonna look at your socioeconomic conditions, and we're gonna
28:37
Speaker 1: look at the color of your skin, and then we
28:39
Speaker 1: are going to use that as a reason to actually
28:42
Speaker 1: move you forward. Right, We're gonna we're gonna actually do
28:45
Speaker 1: this in a way to move you forward in our society.
28:49
Speaker 1: And then one day you're going to be screwed. Right,
28:52
Speaker 1: one day you're gonna be screwed. But you'll won't be
28:54
Speaker 1: our problem then, because we gave you eighteen years of propaganda,
29:00
Speaker 1: well years, I say a propaganda. We made you feel
29:03
Speaker 1: good about yourself. Now, when you get your first job
29:05
Speaker 1: and you don't do your work, you're gonna get fired.
29:06
Speaker 1: When you do get your first job, you don't show
29:08
Speaker 1: up on time, you're gonna get fired. When you do
29:09
Speaker 1: your first job, get your first job and you mouth
29:11
Speaker 1: off to your supervisor and they fire you for insubordination.
29:15
Speaker 1: That's not on us. You'll just be a part of
29:16
Speaker 1: the government system now and we'll give you money and
29:18
Speaker 1: you'll stay home and you'll be poor. It's modern day slavery.
29:21
Speaker 1: That's what they're creating. This isn't success. This is a
29:25
Speaker 1: guaranteed path for failure. Glenn Yunkin and what he said
29:30
Speaker 1: about we're gonna grow aggressive with charge school programs means
29:34
Speaker 1: he's admitting the public schools are so broken you cannot
29:36
Speaker 1: fix them. And then we started working yesterday on our
29:39
Speaker 1: transition and there's a lot to do and I'm really
29:42
Speaker 1: looking forward to get into work. And what a campaign
29:45
Speaker 1: it has been. You really zeroed in on what Virginians
29:49
Speaker 1: wanted to see and what was important to them a
29:52
Speaker 1: governor elect. Tell us a little about that agenda. The
29:55
Speaker 1: other day I heard you say we are going to
29:58
Speaker 1: make sure to engage with parents. We are going to
30:00
Speaker 1: make sure to give kids the tools to have them
30:03
Speaker 1: running strong, running fast. What are those tools? How will
30:08
Speaker 1: you change the education framework in Virginia. Well, we're going
30:14
Speaker 1: to raise expectations in our schools. They've been watered down
30:17
Speaker 1: over time and children should be held to high standards,
30:21
Speaker 1: not low standards. Of course, we have to help those
30:23
Speaker 1: that might need help. We're going to fund in the
30:25
Speaker 1: largest education budget in the history of Virginia. We need
30:28
Speaker 1: to raise teacher salaries. We've got to fund into facilities.
30:31
Speaker 1: We're going to fund into our special education programs. You know,
30:34
Speaker 1: Virginia's kids with disabilities have really suffered during this pandemic.
30:38
Speaker 1: But we're going to launch an aggressive charter school program
30:41
Speaker 1: as well. He's fighting back. Let's go back to the
30:44
Speaker 1: woke liberal left right. Last year, West contract Coast to
30:48
Speaker 1: Unified school district, which is majority of Latino, issued a
30:52
Speaker 1: memo mandating I'm sorry there weren't encouraging secondary teachers to
30:56
Speaker 1: give students a minimum five day grace period to earning
31:00
Speaker 1: work and eliminate zeros in the grading books. Place or
31:04
Speaker 1: Union high school district, where a majority of the students
31:06
Speaker 1: are white, has directed teachers to base grades on quote,
31:10
Speaker 1: valid evidence of a student's content, knowledge, and not on
31:14
Speaker 1: evidence that it likely that is likely to be influenced
31:17
Speaker 1: by teachers implicit bias, racism, nor reflect on students circumstances,
31:23
Speaker 1: so punish the white kids. In Los Angeles, the district
31:26
Speaker 1: has begun to train teachers on practices, including basing grades
31:30
Speaker 1: on whether students are meeting academic standards, But when faced
31:34
Speaker 1: with a flood of deason after during a school closure,
31:36
Speaker 1: officials quickly moved to change policy, given students additional time
31:39
Speaker 1: to make up work even into the summer, giving them incompletes.
31:43
Speaker 1: A recent LA Times analysis of the LA Unified Assessment
31:48
Speaker 1: and grade data showed how grades fell significantly, which are
31:52
Speaker 1: just going to happen during school closures for students in
31:55
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. They're now claiming that's because of the colored
31:59
Speaker 1: people's skin. They said, the gap and grades that existed
32:02
Speaker 1: before the pandemic between black and Latino students and white
32:05
Speaker 1: and aging counterparts widened to as much as twenty one
32:08
Speaker 1: percentage points. Therefore, we must fix the system, meaning we
32:12
Speaker 1: must change grades. During the twenty eighteen nineteen school year,
32:17
Speaker 1: about fifty nine percent of students met the requirements for
32:20
Speaker 1: certain courses, with a seer better. For the class of
32:23
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, only forty six percent of students are on
32:25
Speaker 1: track to meet the requirements. Anybody's going to be held back.
32:28
Speaker 1: Note where you're going to change the way we give
32:30
Speaker 1: grades and make it look like they're still being successful
32:33
Speaker 1: when we're not. This is a Ponzi scheme and this
32:35
Speaker 1: is happening at every public school in America today where
32:39
Speaker 1: they're pushing this critical race theory crap. CNN will tell
32:42
Speaker 1: you it's not being taught when it is. We have
32:44
Speaker 1: the receipts to prove it, and they still say, nope,
32:46
Speaker 1: you're lying. The media refuses to tell you the truth,
32:49
Speaker 1: saying everything's a problem because a race. And so when
32:52
Speaker 1: your kid graduates, even if their value Victorian were on
32:55
Speaker 1: a fourth grade reading level, just know you were a
32:59
Speaker 1: part of the Ponzi scheme. You help fund it, you
33:01
Speaker 1: help pay for it. This is why it's time to
33:03
Speaker 1: actually fight back. I hope every one of you will
33:07
Speaker 1: share this with your family and friends this podcast. We
33:09
Speaker 1: need to get this info out there. It's important we
33:12
Speaker 1: get it out there, and it's important that people understand
33:15
Speaker 1: that we're giving out fake grades. This is a Ponzi scheme,
33:18
Speaker 1: a Ponzi scheme that those that did Ponzi schemes would
33:21
Speaker 1: be proud of. Bernie Madoffs would love this scheme. It's
33:25
Speaker 1: in the billions of dollars a year that we spend
33:28
Speaker 1: on public education, and now we are basically saying we're
33:31
Speaker 1: not gonna graduate or we're not going to educate your kids.
33:33
Speaker 1: We're just gonna graduate them, and when they fail out
33:36
Speaker 1: in the real world, it's fine because then they'll be
33:38
Speaker 1: on the government dime for the rest of their lives
33:40
Speaker 1: and will own them like modern day slavery.
