>> TEACHERS UNIONS AND SCHOOL
BOARDS ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE
BEEN FOCUSED ON MASK MANDATES
AND REMOTE LEARNING FOR A BIG
CHUNK OF THE LAST YEAR, SHOCKING
NEW STUDIES REVEALS JUST HOW BAD
THINGS HAVE REALLY GOTTEN FOR
YOUR KIDS.
REPORTS SHOW STUDENT TEST SCORES
ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE FALLEN
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE
NATION’S HISTORY.
13 YEAR OLDS ARE LESS PROFICIENT
IN MATH AND READING THAN THEY
WERE ALMOST A DECADE AGO.
ACCORDING TO DATA COLLECTED JUST
BEFORE THE START OF THE
PANDEMIC.
JESSE YOU HAVE SCHOOL AGED
KIDDOS.
THIS WAS BEFORE THE PANDEMIC
THINGS WERE GETTING BAD.
>> JESSE: YEAH.
>> Shannon: HOW MUCH WORSE HAS
IT BEEN FOR THE LAST YEAR AND A
HALF.
>> JESSE: THEY’RE OKAY BECAUSE
THEY WERE IN CATHOLIC SCHOOLS
AND CATHOLIC SCHOOLS DON’T PLAY.
>> Shannon: TRUE.
>> JESSE: THEY WERE IN PERSON
LEARNING AND READING SO WE’RE
GRATEFUL FOR THAT.
BUT IN SLAVERY THEY DIDN’T ALLOW
BLACK AMERICANS TO READ.
THEY DIDN’T WANT THEM TO HAVE AN
EDUCATION.
WHY?
BECAUSE KNOWLEDGE IS POWER AND
IF SOMEONE DOESN’T HAVE THAT
KNOWLEDGE AND POWER IT’S EASIER
TO DOMINATE YOU.
AND THAT THINKING IS STILL
PREVALENT TODAY.
THE RULING CLASS IN THIS COUNTRY
AND ALL OVER THE WORLD, THEY
DON’T WANT THIS GENERATION THAT
EDUCATED.
THEY WANT THEM EDUCATED ENOUGH
SO THEY CAN DO MENIAL JOBS AND
KIND OF ENTRY LEVEL MANAGEMENT.
BUT THEY DON’T WANT THEM
INTELLIGENT SO THEY START ASKING
QUESTIONS LIKE, WHERE ARE ALL
THE HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS THAT ARE GOING INTO
THESE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEMS THAT
KEEP FAILING?
WHY DON’T THEY TEACH ECONOMICS
IN SCHOOL?
WHY DO THEY KEEP FAILING
STUDENTS AND THEN GRADUATING
THEM TO THE NEXT CLASS?
AND YOU WONDER WHY PEOPLE CAN’T
DO MATH, AND THEN YOU REALIZE
THAT THEY’RE TEACHING YOU THAT
MATHIS RACIST.
SO THERE ARE POWERFUL PEOPLE IN
THIS COUNTRY THAT DON’T CARE
ABOUT EDUCATION.
THEY WANT INDOCTRINATION.
THEY WANT PEOPLE MAD AT THE
OTHER RACE.
AND THEY WANT THEM KIND OF
DIVIDED SO THEY’RE DISTRACTED
AND DUMB SO THEY’RE NOT SEEING
WHAT THE RULING CLASS IS DOING,
RAIDING THE TREASURY, OPENING
THE BOARDERS AND SENDING ALL THE
JOBS TO CHINA.
>> JESSICA THAT FEELS VERY BRAVE
NEW WORLD FROM JESSE.
>> Dana: I ALWAYS TRY TO THINK
BEFORE THE SHOW LIKE WHAT WILL
JESSE SAY.
>> YOU THINK TOO LONG.
>> DON’T THINK TOO LONG.
>> Shannon: BRAVE NEW WORLD?
>> Dana: NO, DEFINITELY NOT AND
OBVIOUSLY IVY MENTALLY DISAGREE
WITH THE COMPARISON WITH WHAT
SLAIFR OWNERS WERE TRYING TO DO
TO KEEP PEOPLE ENSLAVED AND
WORKING ON PLANTATIONS AS
OPPOSED TO WHAT EDUCATORS AND
RULING CLASS.
DON’T DEFEND IT.
>> JESSE: THINK ABOUT IT BECAUSE
YOU’RE NOT ALLOWING PEOPLE TO DO
CHARTER SCHOOLS AND NOW THEY’RE
SAYING THEY DON’T WANT PARENTS
TO HAVE A STEAK IN THEIR CHILD’S
EDUCATION.
IF YOU INTERRUPT THAT LITTLE
POWER STRUCTURE THAT WE HAVE SET
UP RIGHT NOW, THAT UNLEASHES THE
BEAST.
>> Dana: WE’VE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT HOW THAT MAY BE ONE OF THE
BIG THINGS IN THE VIRGINIA
GOVERNOR’S RACE.
>> Dana: ABSOLUTELY AND THERE
WAS A COMMENT TERRY MCCULLOUGH
MADE DURING THE DEBATE, IT’S AN
IMPORTANT ISSUE, WE HAVE A TON
OF CHARTER SCHOOLS AND DEMOCRATS
BELIEVE WE ALSO HAVE TO IMPROVE
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS SO EVERYONE
CAN HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE
A GOOD EDUCATION.
THERE ARE ALSO A LOT OF
DEMOCRATS THAT ARE PRO CHARTER
SCHOOL, LOOK AT MICHELLE REED’S
WORK, GREAT EXAMPLE OF THAT.
THEY’RE DEFINITELY FAILING IN
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.
THE IMPACT OF NOT ONLY ZOOM
SCHOOL BUT THE MENTAL HEALTH
STRAIN OF THE LAST 18 MONTHS ON
YOUNG PEOPLE, I’M SURE, IS GOING
TO CONTINUE TO FACTOR INTO THESE
TESTING RESULTS AND LIVING HERE
FOLLOWING CLOSELY, OBVIOUSLY
ERIC ADAMS WILL BE OUR MAYOR
COME ELECTION DAY HERE IN NEW
YORK CITY’S BEEN SAYING AND
MAYOR DEBLAHS YES TALKED ABOUT
ELIMINATING OUR GIFTED AND
TALENTED PROGRAMS AND ERIC ADAMS
SAID I DON’T THINK YOU COULD DO
THAT AND B I WOULD HE EVER IN DO
THAT.
AND I THINK KEEPING THE
STANDARDS MAKES SUCH A
DIFFERENCE, ESPECIALLY IN
HELPING ALONG THE KIDS THOUGH
ARE SUCCEEDING IN THESE SYSTEMS
AND ALSO IDENTIFYING THE KIDS
WHO MAY NEED A LITTLE BIT OF
EXTRA HELP.
AND I HOPE OBVIOUSLY THAT THOSE
PROGRAMS STAY AND WE SEE MORE OF
THAT.
>> Shannon: KATIE YOU MENTIONED,
JESSICA TALKED ABOUT THE MENTAL
HEALTH ISSUES AND I WAS READING
ABOUT THIS ONE CEO HAVE A
CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL IN
CONNECTICUT SAID THEY ARE SO
OVERWHELMED WITH BEDS FOR PEOPLE
WHO NEED INPATIENT PSYCHIATRIC
CARE BECAUSE OF WHAT HE HAVE
THIS’ BEEN THROUGH THE LAST YEAR
AND A HALF AND THAT WON’T
REFLECT WELL EDUCATIONALLY
EITHER
>> Katie: I THINK FOR A LOT OF
PARENTS AND LOGICALLY THINKING
PEOPLE, THIS IS ESPECIALLY
INFURIATING.
BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT THE
CONSEQUENCES AND ALL THE DATA
WHETHER IT’S MENTAL HEALTH OR
TEST SCORES, THIS WAS OBVIOUS IN
SUMMER OF 2020.
YOU HAD SENATOR RAND PAUL HAVE
AN EXCHANGE WITH DR. FAUCI IN
MAY OF 2020 SAYING HEY, WE
REALLY NEED SCHOOLS TO BE OPEN
IN THE FALL BECAUSE THERE WILL
BE CONSEQUENCES, ESPECIALLY FOR
MINORITY STUDENTS IF WE DON’T DO
THAT, WHETHER IT’S MENTAL HEALTH
OR THEIR EDUCATION, FALLING
BEHIND AND THEY’LL NEVER MAKE IT
UP.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS,
IT’S LIKE, HOW ARE THESE KIDS
EVER GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET
THAT TIME BACK?
HOW ARE THEY EVER GOING TO CATCH
UP, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE
UNIONS WHO REPEATEDLY, OVER THE
PAST YEAR, WHENEVER THERE WAS A
COMPROMISE MADE FOR THEM TO GET
BACK TO THE CLASS ROOM THEY
THREW UP ANOTHER ROADBLOCK, WE
WANT MORE MONEY, WE WANT MORE
VACCINES, WE WANT THIS, WE WANT
THAT.
AND THEN PARENTS WHO DARED TO
SAY, WELL, WE WOULD REALLY LIKE
OUR SCHOOLS TO BE OPEN AND WE
THINK SOME OF THESE COVID
RESTRICTIONS ARE PRETTY
RIDICULOUS CONSIDERING THAT YOU
GUYS WERE VACCINATED AND PUT IN
FRONT OF THE LINE, AND THEN THEY
WERE DOXXED, AND THEN THEY WERE
SHUT OUT OF SCHOOL BOARD
MEETINGS AND THEN WHEN PARENTS
FOUND OUT WHAT THEY WERE
TEACHING THEIR CHILDREN BECAUSE
OF THE ZOOM CALLS, THE ZOOM
LEARNING, THEY WERE THEN CALLED
RACIST AND BIGOTED.
SO ONE SILVER LINING OF THIS MAY
BE THAT THERE IS A NEW SCHOOL
CHOICE REV LYINGS THAT IS
HAPPENING, A SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER
TODAY IN LOUDEN COUNTY RESIGNED
AS A RESULT OF PARENTAL
INVOLVEMENT.
AND SO AGAIN, JUST GENERALLY,
YOU CAN APPLY THE STANDARD OF
DID WE SEE THIS COMING A YEAR
AGO?
WE DID.
AND BECAUSE EVERYBODY LISTENED
TON ANTHONY FAUCI, THIS IS A
CONSEQUENCE THAT WAS WARNED
ABOUT.
>> A LOT OF OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE
HANDLED IT DIFFERENTLY, THE
MASKING, CHILDREN IN AND OUT OF
SCHOOL BUT WHAT WE FOUND OUT
HERE THE KIDS WHO WERE ALREADY
TRAILING BEHIND ARE THE ONES
THAT SLIPPED EVEN FURTHER
BECAUSE OF THIS.
>> Brian: RIGHT THERE HAS TO BE
A CREATIVE WAY TO ATTACK THE
INNER CITY SCHOOLS BECAUSE MONEY
IS POURING IN BUT NOT USED IN AN
EFFECTIVE WAY.
MY SON WENT TO PRIVATE SCHOOL MY
TWO DAUGHTERS WENT TO PUBLIC
SCHOOL, ONE THING THAT WAS
CONSISTENT, TON OF HOMEWORK.
I THOUGHT THERE WAS MUCH MORE
HOMEWORK.
THEY WORK, AND EVERYBODY I TALK
TO, I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW MUCH
HOMEWORK THESE KIDS HAD.
I DON’T THINK THEY HAD IT EASY,
AND I DON’T -- I GOT TO SEE
WHERE THESE TARGETED SCORES ARE
AND WHY THEY’RE NOT PRODUCING
RESULTS, BUT I THINK YOU HAVE --
THERE’S A MATURE SAYING IS
CORRECT, TOO, IS THAT, WE’RE
PUTTING A LOT OF MONEY INTO
THESE SCHOOLS AND IT’S NOT
NECESSARILY DEMOCRAT OR
REPUBLICANS JESSICA THAT TALKS
ABOUT CHARTER SCHOOLS, THIS IS
CREATE COMPETITION, GIVE AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CHARTER
SCHOOLS TO COMPETE WITH THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS, THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS WILL GET BETTER, THE
CHARTER SCHOOLS WILL MAKE THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS BETTER IF A
COMPETITION HAPPENS, AND IN
VIRGINIA, THE CHANGES LEADERS,
CHANGES PARTIES AND IF WE COULD
FIND A WAY TO SEE IF YOU COULD
TAKE YOUR MONEY, YOUR PUBLIC
SCHOOL MONEY, AND YOU PUT IT
TOWARDS THE PRIVATE SCHOOL, MAN,
GAME ON IN TERMS OF
EFFECTIVENESS.
>> QUICKLY ON THAT --
>> Brian:.
>> Brian: THAT IS AMERICA.
>> WELL, AMERICAN COLLEGE JUST
SAID TO YOUR POINT OF THE
CHARTER SCHOOLS GETTING PUBLIC
MONEY FROM PARENTS, HE SAID HE
WOULD NOT ALLOW THAT AS
GOVERNOR.
>> AND THERE IS A CASE COMING IN
THE SCORE IN A COUPLE MONTHS IS
GOING TO BE ABOUT MONEY MOVING
WITH KIDS AND WHETHER IT CAN BE
