  We got a question for American mamas. Dear mamas, do you think the
• 0:03
  mama who was talking at the school board meeting about why kids have so much
• 0:06
  anxiety was correct? Well, let's ask our American mamas and joining us now
• 0:24
  our American mama's Terry Nutterville and Kimberly Burleson. I do not know where this
• 0:29
  school board meeting occurred, but there was a woman who got up to the
• 0:33
  free speak time and she was in a little bit of a controversy with the
• 0:38
  school board. I mean she was. She was kind of like given the
• 0:41
  school board itself the what four right? Very articulate. I loved it.
• 0:47
  Let me play just a little bit of that. Stand up here, and
• 0:49
  we know we can brag about all of the wonderful graduations, but we know,
• 0:54
  we know the statistics. Fifty percent of children did not pass their end
• 0:58
  of grade tests. What are we celebrating. Yeah, we have children coming
• 1:02
  up here telling us how horrible the mental health crisis is. Why most of
• 1:07
  us went to public school and all of our peers are not in mental health
• 1:11
  crises. We have to ask ourselves what are we doing to our children.
• 1:15
  I'm going to say we are discussing things with them that they are not emotionally,
• 1:19
  intellectually and morally able to handle. That is what is causing the anxiety,
• 1:26
  That is what is causing the depression, that is what is causing the
• 1:29
  confusion. We need our children to be able to be children, to be
• 1:33
  able to be innocent, to be able to enjoy childhood and not know all
• 1:37
  of the drama and all of the difficulties in adult life. That is what
• 1:41
  we want. We want our children to be able to read and write and
• 1:42
  to think for themselves, and we demand that the children who fear God are
• 1:47
  protected in your school. Is wow? Yeah, this woman spoke my heart.
• 1:55
  Yeah, she's And the fact that they wanted to completely swelt HER's of
• 2:00
  those people he could tell kind of like Candice Owens. She's able to articulate,
• 2:04
  formulate the words and they come out so eloquently. But I want you
• 2:08
  to pull out something kimberly that she kimerly read this to me. And if
• 2:12
  you don't know while she's pulling that up. Corey tin Boom was a Dutch
• 2:15
  watchmaker who became a renowned Christian writer, speaker, renowned throughout the world.
• 2:21
  Okay, well, there's a story that Kimberly said, you gotta hear this
• 2:23
  well. When I heard this, lady, it made me think of that
• 2:27
  part in The Hiding It's the krey Tin Boom wrote a book called The Hiding
• 2:30
  Place. And she's on the train with her father, who's a watchmaker,
• 2:36
  and she asked, what is sexism. He doesn't say anything. He just
• 2:39
  gets up and he grabs the suitcase and he hands it to Corey and she
• 2:44
  says it's too heavy. She said, he said yes, and it would
• 2:49
  be a pretty poor father who would ask his little girl to carry such a
• 2:52
  load. In the same way Corey, with knowledge, some knowledge is too
• 2:55
  heavy for children. When you're older and stronger, you can bear it for
• 3:00
  now. You must trust me and let me carry it for you. That
• 3:04
  is so good, because we don't do that with our kids, these duds.
• 3:07
  No, we're putting too much in their heads. They're having to This
• 3:10
  is what this mom was saying, like, teachers, just do your job,
• 3:15
  Just teach reading, writing, arithmetic, science. Please stop putting stuff
• 3:20
  into our children that's too heavy for them to carry right now, because they
• 3:23
  don't know how to formulate, they don't know understand how they're supposed to move
• 3:27
  forward with this information. They're too young, their brain's not formed. It's
• 3:31
  too heavy. It's too heavy for our children, and we need to lighten
• 3:36
  up on them. Let them be children, sit back, watch them,
• 3:39
  love them, help them grow, but stop grooming them. This is one
• 3:45
  of those I think this is one of those ironies the way we're raising kids.
• 3:51
  Wendy and I always said, we're not raising kids, we're raising adults.
• 3:54
  But in order to raise adults, you have to let kids be kids.
• 3:58
  You have to let kids have that time. I think right now,
• 4:00
  what we're trying to do is we're trying to make our kids into adults so
• 4:02
  that we can raise children, because by the time they get to the point
• 4:05
  where they should be adults, a lot of them have the emotional maturity of
• 4:09
  kids, right right, And that's what she's saying. She's just basically,
• 4:13
  why are we celebrating like half of our kids can't even pass the test that
• 4:16
  they're supposed to pass. Why and why is there such a crisis with developmental
• 4:20
  delays. Why are we having psychological issues so much in this generation? Well,
• 4:25
  here's the reason why. You're putting too much information in their heads that
• 4:29
  they are not equipped to handle. They just don't have the proper tools at
• 4:32
  that age to handle what you're telling them. And we're celebrating their anxiety and
• 4:38
  their depression. I mean, these kids are putting it as adjectives for what
• 4:42
  they are, and I feel like it's we're humans. We all have depression,
• 4:46
  we all have anxiety, we all go through things and we work through
• 4:47
  it, we do the things necessary to get healthy. But they're celebrating it.
• 4:51
  Well, That's what I've said before, is that party of victimhood.
• 4:55
  You know, victimhood is their beauty mark. They want them. It's kind
• 4:58
  of like our military. They're allowing those their spokespeople to come out and say,
• 5:02
  yes, I'm bipolar. I'm this why we all go through our stuff.
• 5:08
  We work through it together, and then when you're on the flip side
• 5:11
  of it, you're healthy and you learn from it. The other part of
• 5:14
  it is, you guys went to a public school. Yeah, right,
• 5:15
  I went to public school. Most of my friends went to public school.
• 5:18
  I know a couple of people went to private school, or some people went
• 5:20
  private school for a couple of years. I don't know anybody that I grew
• 5:24
  up with that was homeschooled, but I don't think we had near as many
• 5:29
  anxiety mental health issues as the generations that have come after us. Even though
• 5:33
  we all went to public school too well, we all knew it was just
• 5:35
  part of life. That's an emotion, you're gonna get to, depression,
• 5:39
  you're going to go through. Yeah, it's just life, you know.
• 5:42
  But now it's celebrated. Now it's a focus. It's a feather in your
• 5:45
  cap, yes, and teachers cater to that. And I don't want to
• 5:47
  take away from people who've gone through real, actual trauma that's led to real
• 5:53
  deep mental problems that they have to struggle through every day. I don't want
• 5:56
  to take away from that, of course, but it almost is like we're
• 6:00
  we're adding to the problem. Not literally, yes, exactly. If you
