You're listening to Breakpoint this week, where we're talking about the top stories of the week from a Christian worldview.

Today we're going to talk about education. Do we need to rethink how we educate our kids?

We're also going to talk about prenatal genetic testing. What does that technology actually do?

And what are its limitations? So we have a lot to get to today. We're so glad

This has been a big topic, I think a couple of weeks ago, the former secretary of education, Betsy DeVos, kind of threw down the gauntlet in a piece that she wrote for the free press about dismantling the Department of Education, the federal department.

And she's not the first to have that idea.

Hey, can I jump in real quick?

Because I feel like there's something that has to be noted.

What did I do?

That Betsy DeVos from the first Trump administration just wrote on a blog from a former editor of the New York Times.
