Topic: Civics Education

A video from a college campus reveals that many students are unable to identify the significance of the Fourth of July or the year of American independence. Two teachers interviewed on camera admitted to bypassing standard curricula to teach "anti-racism" and Black Lives Matter activism to elementary and middle school students. The hosts argue this shift in education is the root cause of declining civic knowledge.

The hosts discuss the decline of civics and American history education in schools, attributing it to a "globalist" movement that de-emphasizes national pride. They argue that this educational shift creates a psyche where national symbols like the flag are viewed with suspicion. The conversation touches on the influence of figures like George Soros in promoting a borderless, internationalist world government.

A report from the Education Department reveals that only a quarter of eighth graders are proficient in history, civics, and geography. The hosts joke that this lack of knowledge is not new, playing Sam Cooke's "Wonderful World," and share an anecdote about a modern astronomy class that never used a telescope.
