This is the Friends of History Debating Society. I'm John Bachelor. I welcome Thaddeus

McCut of American greatness to comment on the public schools, especially the public

grammar schools these days of recovering from the pandemic, recovering from the recession that didn't quite arrive,

and looking at the cultural conflict between those who advance at all school levels, DEI and those who puzzle about the advancement of

DEI.

That is, I'm aware that the world has turned many times since I was in grammar school sitting with gram crackers and milk in half day

sessions because we were the boomers.

There were too many of us to allow us to have more than a few hours in school in kindergarten first grade. Now the schools

have very much nationalized their agenda. It involves DEI. How so? Good evening

to you, John. It's been long reported and many

observers have noted it. That the public education system is more bent upon pushing the diversity inclusion and equity agenda, the die agenda, the T. E. I agenda in the schools.

And the younger the better for these educators, it's obviously easier to indoctrinate children than it is to educate the children.

And parents have rightly been very outraged by this. And what we see now is the determined

attempt by the education bureaucracy and public school teachers unions of which

both of my parents, late parents and brother are still, is still a member of.

What they want to do, John, is that they want to continue to push this on kids the younger the better.

Now as you won't know well the left has some rhetorical devices.

One of the rhetorical devices is to use the phrase my truth and the other one is lived experience. Now these are

designed so that whatever the person has gone through they can draw any

conclusions they want as long as they're left us aligned and they can silence debate if you try to object.

But what happens about parents' lived experience if the left were true and that they really cared about lived experience,

no one has more lived experience with a child than the parents.
