C.R. Wiley inspires me because he has experienced the horror of cultural rot. He speaks with clarity and authority about the caring for the culture. Thanks, Chris for sharing your story in a way that is compassionate and redeeming.

At 33:53, even if you're renting, you're paying property taxes. As a landlord, I pay the property taxes on my rentals with the income that they generate.

"Can Public Education be Saved?" No. Next question.

What you have described through the situation in which the author of the first things author presents himself is typical of what Stephen Wolfe defined as an example Anarcho-Tyranny.

Humanity is at an inflexion point right now and must find new ways forward. Some of those new ways have been paired in the WRONG settings so they are neutered. But suspensions and all that are antiquated because they don't get at the REASONS, the needs that are not being met for a student to act out. When you look at life from the typical Christian perspective that all humans are inherently depraved, that priority sinks to the bottom of the list. However, when you understand that every human is doing the best they can do at that moment, you invest in learning whether those children are being molested, are hungry, or simply failing to thrive because a parent couldn't care less about them. All the suspensions in the world don't fix that. All it does it further alienate or prove to a student that they're not being HEARD in school, either. And I don't have time to listen to this entire thing, but if your "Don't Spare the Rod" implies any type of school corporal punishment, you --can rot in hell-- need to adjust your Neanderthalic thinking.
