Speaker 1: We got a question for American mamas. Dear mama's, are
0:02
Speaker 1: schools teaching patriotism in our schools?
0:04
Speaker 2: Enough, Well, let's ask our American mama's alma, she.
0:15
Speaker 1: Said, and joining us now, our American mama is Terry
0:22
Speaker 1: Needeville and Kimberly Burlison. You know, whenever I think of this,
0:26
Speaker 1: I think of the farewell address for Ronald Reagan in
0:29
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty nine January of nineteen eighty nine, he did
0:32
Speaker 1: a primetime address from the Oval Office and it's one
0:35
Speaker 1: of the best speeches I really have ever heard. It
0:40
Speaker 1: was a unique moment in American history because George H. W.
0:42
Speaker 1: Bush just passed. It was the last time we've had
0:45
Speaker 1: three presidents from the same party in a row. Okay,
0:49
Speaker 1: and he's just at the start of that third presidency,
0:52
Speaker 1: and he says, Look, we've done a lot of stuff.
0:54
Speaker 1: We've brought some patriotism back in America, but we haven't
0:57
Speaker 1: institutionalized it in One of the things we've got to
1:00
Speaker 1: do is we've got to teach love of America to
1:03
Speaker 1: our children in our classrooms. Are we doing a good
1:05
Speaker 1: enough job of teaching our kids what America is and
1:09
Speaker 1: what she represents? In the long history of the world,
1:12
Speaker 1: and I think that question still persists here we are, Yes,
1:16
Speaker 1: I think.
1:17
Speaker 3: It's a very good thing that we need to focus on.
1:19
Speaker 3: I saw a video I don't know if y'all saw
1:21
Speaker 3: it of these children in Gaza, and they were these
1:24
Speaker 3: Palestinian kids, and they were talking about what they're learning
1:28
Speaker 3: in school, and it was to hate Jewish people, that
1:30
Speaker 3: they're supposed to die. It was these horrible things, and
1:34
Speaker 3: I thought, here are these adults, look at what they're
1:37
Speaker 3: teaching these children, and children are sponges, and it's like, no,
1:41
Speaker 3: they've got it all wrong. But our children are the
1:45
Speaker 3: most valuable thing we have in this country, and so
1:48
Speaker 3: what we teach them in the classroom and the love
1:50
Speaker 3: of their own country, love the respect of those leaders
1:54
Speaker 3: that have gone on before us, is so crucial to
1:58
Speaker 3: the future of our country. One of my girlfriends, she's
2:01
Speaker 3: a teacher, and I was asking her, like, she's getting
2:04
Speaker 3: ready this week is when schools starting, and she's got
2:06
Speaker 3: her flag up, and I said, do you do the
2:08
Speaker 3: pledge of allegiance? And she said absolutely, she goes that
2:12
Speaker 3: is absolutely something we do. In all of my little kids.
2:16
Speaker 3: They know it. They love standing up for it, and
2:19
Speaker 3: it is so important to her. But she said, even
2:21
Speaker 3: at our school when something's going on like an election
2:24
Speaker 3: or the Olympics, they get involved. Children's University in Arlington, Texas,
2:29
Speaker 3: they make it a thing. And I remember when Obama
2:31
Speaker 3: was elected and my son got to be the Secret
2:34
Speaker 3: Service and they got a limo and they had and
2:36
Speaker 3: I remember thinking, like Obama, we weren't crazy about Obama.
2:40
Speaker 3: But there's never negative talk about it. It was always
2:42
Speaker 3: respect for the office, respect for which is the way
2:46
Speaker 3: it's supposed to be taught. Let your kids figure out
2:49
Speaker 3: later they're politics. But the job of the teacher right
2:53
Speaker 3: now is to teach the love of our country.
2:56
Speaker 4: And respecting the office. As she said, you know, we
3:00
Speaker 4: talked about a story that Mom shared.
3:03
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Mom shared this story about when she was
3:06
Speaker 3: on the bus when JFK was shot and she said
3:10
Speaker 3: what she remembered because I know we didn't vote that
3:12
Speaker 3: way my parents, but everybody cheered on the bus and
3:15
Speaker 3: the teacher did too. And she said it sickened her.
3:18
Speaker 3: It made her sick to her stomach. Yeah, and I
3:21
Speaker 3: thought that is bad parenting. Yes, you know, that is
3:25
Speaker 3: wrong because these kids don't know anything about politics, but
3:29
Speaker 3: she knew innately that that was wrong, that was the
3:32
Speaker 3: wrong thing. It's kind of like when Trump was you know,
3:36
Speaker 3: when they tried to assassinate him. You did see people
3:39
Speaker 3: online saying very cruel, vulneral, vile things about they should
3:44
Speaker 3: have you know, ain't better next time. And I thought,
3:49
Speaker 3: what a cruel way to be. This is a human being.
3:53
Speaker 3: And it made me have greater respect for those on
3:56
Speaker 3: the left that have the platform that said this is wrong.
4:01
Speaker 3: They should just they should find out how this happened,
4:05
Speaker 3: who did this, prosecute to the full extent of the law,
4:09
Speaker 3: and that those are the people that you go, Okay,
4:11
Speaker 3: we're here, We're all humans you can be against. Like
4:16
Speaker 3: I don't want Kamala to win. I think she and
4:18
Speaker 3: Tim Wallace would be terrible. But if she's in the office,
4:22
Speaker 3: if she is elected by the majority of our country,
4:26
Speaker 3: I will respect the office, even if I think the
4:28
Speaker 3: majority of the country made the wrong decision. I would
4:31
Speaker 3: never want her to be killed. I would never want
4:33
Speaker 3: her to be aimed. I would never want anything to
4:36
Speaker 3: break out that would damage us as a country. So
4:39
Speaker 3: when Mom told that story, I remember thinking, innately, these
4:43
Speaker 3: kids that you were talking about Kimberly that are in
4:45
Speaker 3: Palestine and they're being taught to hate Jewish their Jewish friends,
4:49
Speaker 3: or hate to talk hate Jews. I think that innately
4:55
Speaker 3: are I hope at least that innately they are recoiling
4:59
Speaker 3: the way that our mom did, that they're hearing this going.
5:01
Speaker 4: But I don't feel that way.
5:03
Speaker 1: But we have schools that are teaching kids George Washington
5:06
Speaker 1: was an evil person. Thomas Jefferson was an evil person.
5:09
Speaker 1: Christopher Columbus was an evil person. None of these people,
5:12
Speaker 1: according to the Left, are worthy of any ounce of respect.
5:16
Speaker 1: And that's what some schools are teaching our kids these days.
5:19
Speaker 4: That's why I worry about the future history books because
5:24
Speaker 4: I think about my grandchild. Got a grandchild now, and
5:27
Speaker 4: I'll have more, And I think, whenever they are, whenever
5:31
Speaker 4: they have to learn something in school, I'm going to
5:35
Speaker 4: have to go through and see if it actually happened
5:39
Speaker 4: that way so that I can correct the record. Because
5:41
Speaker 4: I don't trust the ones who are in charge of
5:44
Speaker 4: writing our history. I need to know if they're going
5:46
Speaker 4: to be fair and balanced or if they lean a
5:48
Speaker 4: certain way, because I have now grown to this place
5:51
Speaker 4: where I don't even know if what we were taught
5:54
Speaker 4: is correct.
