Summary

There's a “crisis in the classroom,” and American children are paying the price, say Armstrong Williams, host of “The Armstrong Williams Show,” and Dr. Ben Carson, a renowned neurosurgeon and former secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. It's “very concerning in our society today, as you see the dumbing down of our people,” Carson says. Carson and Williams are the authors of “Crisis in the Classroom: Crisis in Education,” and join “The Daily Signal Podcast” to offer solutions to America’s foundering education system. They had a third co-author, Benjamin Crump. Carson also addresses the role of the federal Department of Education and whether it should be eliminated. Enjoy the show! Hosted on Acast.
