MASA

I find it interesting that Americans seem to have become the non-smartest of all people. Farmers, ranchers and growers of the food Americans eat have been taken for granted and overlooked. School children are taught how to identify themselves with pronouns, but are unable to do basic mathematics, civics or world history. Many who advance to colleges and universities grapple with being able to “fit it” instead of gaining the necessary skills to make a significant contribution to society. Those choosing legal professions soon forget that the basis of US history is the US Constitution as they angle for political office not as a public servant but obtaining their elected office for celebrity status and ultimately personal financial gain.

How did we get here collectively as a society of learned people?

I must say it begins in the home. Parents must instill in their children the tenets of right and wrong as given in the bible. Behaviors are formed and modified at home even before they enter the academic setting.

When entering public or private school settings it is the responsibility of teachers not to teach doctrine, propaganda or personal political positions, but to set the spark of “learning” ablaze within the hearts and minds of every student.

In the interests of shrinking government the Department of Education is being abolished and it’s functions to be absorbed by other credible government agencies in order to give more latitude and responsibility to parents and to state and local educators.

Make Americans Smart Again (MASA) should be a national campaign geared toward learning and empowering Americans to think through learning, problem solving and putting into action theory presented in the classroom.

This dumbing down of America must be brought to a screeching halt. Americans are capable of and deserve more from parents, teachers and each other. Failure in the classroom should lead to triumph in real life outside the classroom.

Know what you believe, believe in what you know and trust not in your own understanding but place your trust in the God who created you in HIS image.

We must ask ourselves:

Has our life changed someone else for better or for worse?

Have we made someone else happy or happier?

Are we content with what we leave behind?

Will God say “well done my good and faithful servant” or “depart from me, I never knew you”? – RTM
