The American Legacy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you’re following me here and on X, you know the public schools are not teaching children to love America. Some of you know your local school prioritizes grievance studies and power politics over rights, responsibilities, and equality under the law. You don’t need to know any more. What you do need is a path your family can take to instill informed patriotism and effective citizenship in your own children. I have run wonderful classrooms built on excellent, comprehensive curriculum, but a fami

Read excerpt
If you follow my work here or on X, it’s likely because you’re dissatisfied with your child’s education. You may also be concerned about practices and material at your child’s school which don’t align with your family’s ethos, values, and goals. That’s understandable, considering the state of America’s school system.
