And now a Brian Kilme show special presentation. Education in America. Here's Brian Kilmead.

Hi, everyone. I'm Brian Kilmead. Thanks so much for listening to our 4th of July special.

I hope you have an red, white and blue holiday. And remember how great this country is.

I also want to remember where this country's been as I try to chronicle all the time with my books.

The latest one, Teddy and Booker T. Don't blame yourself if you haven't read it yet. It's not

talking about it in great detail, doing a national tour on it because after COVID,
