Get Your Kids Out: The Case Against Government Schools

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;">What if everything you've been told about fixing our public schools is wrong? Join Robert Bortins as he sits down with Sheri Few, founder and president of United States Parents Involved in Education (USPIE), for a sobering look at the state of American education and why reform may be impossible. Sheri shares alarming statistics: only one-third of fourth and eighth graders read or do math at grade level, and 54% of U.S. adults read below sixth grade level. But the problem goes far deeper than poor academics. Learn about USPIE's groundbreaking documentary "Truth and Lies in American Education," which exposes the Marxist ideologies, fake history, and anti-Christian propaganda replacing reading, writing, and arithmetic in schools across America. Sheri addresses the "not in my school" mentality many parents have and provides practical steps for investigating what's really being taught in your district. She also shares why the federal government only contributes about 10% of most states' education budgets, making it entirely feasible to restore local control and parental authority. Whether you're already homeschooling or still have children in the system, this episode offers both sobering truth and hope for the future of American education and liberty.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u>Resources:</u></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.uspie.org/"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;">https://www.uspie.org/</span></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This episode of <em>Refining Rhetoric</em> is sponsored by:</span></u></strong> <em><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Woke and Weaponized: How Karl Marx Won the Battle for American Education—And How We Can Win It Back</span></em> <span style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;">– A new book written by Robert Bortins and Alex Newman.
