- 0:33Welcome to the live to shoot podcast.
- 0:34My name is Jeff doddle, and this is a 10th of our bonus episodes on the 1776 report.
- 0:40As a recap, just to remind you that the 1776 commission was initiated by president Trump and the declared purpose of the president's advisory commission was to enable the rising generation to understand the history and the principles of the founding of the United States in 1776 and to strive to form a more perfect union.
- 0:58This requires a restoration of American education, which can only be grounded on a history of those principles.
- 1:04That is an accurate, honest, unifying, inspiring and enabling.
- 1:07I think this report is really important.
- 1:09So we've been working through it.
- 1:11A little, a few episodes each week.
- 1:13And going through it so that if, if you don't want to sit down and read all of it, you can spend just a few minutes, listen to, uh, each bit of it each week as we work through it.
- 1:21So now we are on part-time the task can national, renewable, and we're going to be discussing.
- 1:27Teaching America.
- 1:28The primary duty of schools is to teach students the basic skills needed to function in society.
- 1:34Such as reading, writing, and mathematics as discussed in appendix for our founders.
- 1:40Also recognize the second and essential task educators must convey a sense of enlightened patriotism that equips each generation with the knowledge of American founding principles.
- 1:50A deep reverence for their liberties and a profound love of their country.
- 1:56Make no mistake.
- 1:57The love we are talking about is something different from a romantic or familial love.
- 2:01Something that cannot be imposed by teachers or schools or government edicts.
- 2:06Least of all in a free country.
- 2:08Like any love worthy of the name, it must be embraced freely and be strong and unsentimental enough to co-exist with the elements of disappointment, criticism, descent, opposition, and even shame that comes with more maturity and open eyes.
- 2:22But it's love all the same.
- 2:24And without the deep foundation is supplies, our public will perish.
- 2:28State and local governments, not the federal governments are responsible for adopting curriculum that teach children the principles that unite inspire and enable all Americans.
- 2:38This includes lessons on the revolutionary war, the declaration of independence and the constitutional convention educators.
- 2:44Should teach an accurate history of how the permanent principles of America founding have been challenged and preserved since 1776.
- 2:52By studying America's true.
- 2:53Heritage students learn to embrace and preserve the triumphs of their forefathers while identifying and avoiding their mistakes.
- 3:00States and school districts should reject any curriculum that promotes one-sided paid partisan opinions, activist, propaganda.
- 3:08Or factional ideologies that demean America's heritage dishonor.
- 3:12Our heroes were denied our principles, anytime teachers or ministers promote political agendas in the classroom.
- 3:19They abused their platform and dishonor, every family who trust them with their children's education and moral development.
- 3:26Law quote.
- 3:27law and Liberty cannot rationally become the object of our love unquote founding father, James Wilson quote, unless they first become the objects of our knowledge, unquote students who are taught to understand America's exceptional principles and America's powerful history growing into strong citizenship, little respect, the law, the rule of law and protect the country.
- 3:51They know and love.
- 3:53A scholarship of freedom.
- 3:56Universities in the United States are.
- 3:58Often today, hotbeds of anti-Americanism livable, viable and censorship that combined to generate in students and in the broader culture at the very disdain and at worst outright hatred for this country.
- 4:11The founders insisted that universities should be at the core of preserving American republicanism by instructing students and future leaders of its true basis and instilling in them, not just an understanding.
- 4:23But our reverence for its principles and core documents today, our higher education system does almost the precise opposite.
- 4:30College Pell, resentment and contempt for American principles and history of like in the process, weakening attachment to our shared heritage.
- 4:38In order to build up a healthy United citizenry scholar, city, students, and all Americans must reject false and fashionable ideologies.
- 4:46The obscure facts, ignore historical context and tell America stories.
- 4:50Philly has one of oppression and victim hood rather than one of it, other than perfection, but also unprecedented achievement toward freedom.
- 4:58Happiness and fairness for all historical revisionism that tramples on a scholarship and historical truth, shames Americans by highlighting only the sins of their ancestors and teaches.
- 5:10Claims of a systematic racism that can only be eliminated by more discrimination is an I as an ideology intended to manipulate opinions more than educate minds, deliberately destructive to scholarship shatters, the civic bond that unite all Americans.
- 5:26It silences the discourse essential to a free society by breeding division, distrust and hatred amongst citizens.
- 5:33And it is intellectual force behind as much of the violence in our cities, suppression of free speech in our view, diversion.
- 5:40And our universities.
- 5:42And defamation of our treasured national statutes in the symbols.
- 5:46To restore our society academics much return to their vocation of relentless pursuing the truth.
- 5:51Engaging in on a scholarship that seeks to understand the world and America's place in it.
- 5:57The American mind.
- 5:58Americans yearn for timeless stories and noble heroes inspire them to, to be good, brave diligent, daring, generous, honest, and compassionate.
- 6:07Millions of Americans, devour history of the American revolution and the civil war and thrill to the tales of Washington, Jefferson Hamilton, Franklin Lincoln, and grant Sojourner truth and Frederick Douglas, we still read the tales of Hawthorne and Melville, Twain, and Poe, and the poems of Whitman and Dickinson.
- 6:24On independence day.
- 6:26We, we have John Philip Sousa stars and stripes forever and sing along to what he got through this land is your land Americans applaud the law.
- 6:33Please love and kindness shared by them.
- 6:36March sisters and little women Revere the rug, the Liberty of the Cowboys and old westerns and cheer, the adventurous spirits of young Tom Sawyer.
- 6:44These great works have withstood the test of time because they speak to eternal truth and embody the American spirit.
- 6:52It is up to the American artists, authors, filmmakers, musicians, social media influencers, and other cultural leaders to carry on this tradition by once again, giving shape and voice to America.
- 7:02Self-understanding to be what Jefferson called an expression of the American mind.
- 7:07Two.
- 7:08To them falls the creative task of writing stories, songs, and scripts that help to restore every American's conviction to embrace the good.
- 7:17Lead virtual slides and act with an attitude of hope towards the better and bolder future for themselves, their families and the entire nation.
