As a retired financial advisor I can attest to the woeful level of financial literacy in the U.S. Too few states require it as a course or module in high school, and those that do, do not place enough emphasis on attaining a minimal level of competence.
In retirement, I entered a teaching training program but dropped out after three weeks because it was nothing but "woke" indoctrination.
In my opinion, the left's modus operandi is to deny differences in individual intellectual capacity. The end result is a race to the lowest common denominator. In the context of your writing, that lowest common denominator is emotion. We all have feelings. But intellectual capacity varies by individual, and the left cannot acknowledge that fact without exploding its underlying foundation which is "identity" politics.
The sad reality is that any society that does not encourage its best and brightest will cease to flourish.
I agree with your assessment and education is a must have start.
However, what curriculum is changing teacher behavior and principals?
Those who can’t earn become teachers. Taught to feel superior in their ideologies since financial success is predetermined to allude them. ( sorry teachers).
Hillsdale and turning point are great allies in this fight. Suggest WE align at every level possible. Recognizing this will take a generation to manifest. Good news. Gen z seems to have found religion again.
We need all Christian’s to be critical thinkers and warriors. The ideological battle with Woketards and jihadists will be here for another 100 yrs. Our grandchildren are crying for us to take action now.
Burnt Taco. Please don't leave us Jews out of this fight to save America. Many of us can be and are critical thinkers and warriors, and will do everything we can to take back education from those who think the only solution to America's issues is to tear it all down. Nope. Through an act of fate, we are living in one of the greatest nations on earth today. The solution to any problems we have is to strengthen what is good and make it great, and on those things we think are wrong, put them on a better path forward. For example. Let's make sure Congress doesn't get a paycheck when they screw with the rest of federal employees, especially our military and front-line workers.
And, since the President has the power (and he does) to stop a strike in an essential industry (such as rail or aviation), then the law should be amended to also grant the President the authority to ensure that essential federal employees, like air traffic controllers, receive their pay. That's my 2 cents.
Thank you for your quick, kind, and warm reply. You've rewarded me for being willing to speak out. In this day and age, I feel I need to do so. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I regularly have read, and I don't always agree with what you write, and therefore, until today's article about how "the only way to win is through education," I haven't financially supported you. But today, I forgive both you and me for not always agreeing, because today, you were laser-focused on how we can save America. And since I want to share your wisdom, I feel I have to compensate you for it. It is worth it.
I'm not sure if we will succeed in saving America, but changing what young people are taught is the ONLY way. And, you are right, it is a long-term project. So, I have now subscribed to help you make ends meet.
Chris..you are a blessing to us that follow you but wish the minds & hearts of those many that need to hear & read your words, ideas, warnings & solutions would be guided towards you..
and others who are trying so passionately to offer hope & change which of course starts at the foundation of all knowledge..
the educational system, that sadly & almost criminally the Left & DEMs have owned, purposely changed & warped for 50+ years..and thus we are where we are!

Not intentional! I view the Judaic/ Christian alliance a critical one in battling this crusade!

Great plan. From your lips to God's ears!
Unfortunately, putting the toothpaste back into the tube is going to be an exceedingly difficult undertaking.
