Even if the principle gave this speech. You're probrobly unaware that no student cares about the principle, nor what they have to say. They rarely interact with students and are rarely seen. The teachers have a much greater impact on the students.
Yes but its not just the speech but also how they would run the school and dictate things to the teachers and staff. So the students don't have to care because the changes would happen regardless. Or at least whatever changes were within the principal's power to make. But yeah saying "GIVE THIS SPEECH PRINCIPALS" and it ends there. But I think the larger goal is to say give this speech but then also enforce it and he thinks it'll improve America. And I would say depending on your definition of improve it certainly would. It would make people more cookie cutter and less divided and also more suited for blindly going into the work force. In pure productivity I'm sure the country would improve. If were all actually mind controlled it would also definitely improve productivity towards the country itself's goals. So looking at purely a work force and good behavior point of you I'm sure the American country would be better. But also lacking in many other areas that are kind of important to the individual.
@@Pragabond what? i really have to enforce this. shit damn thats what i did wrong, i held this peech 1 year ago and asked myself up till today why my school hasn't gotten better, but now i knoiw my mistake. big thanks to you
As an immigrant to this country I am dismayed at the lack of appreciation young people have for the fortuitousness of having the privilege to live in this country and the opportunity that it affords anyone who seeks it out.
Right Jack, those that don't agree with the way this country used to be, before Brandon, need to be shown what it's like to live in a leftist utopian world for just 48 hours, or just listen to someone that left a socialist country to come here where FREEDOM rings.
@Jack, it's been my experience that the most grateful, appreciative, and finest patriotic Americans are first generation legal immigrants like yourself. I am so thankful for people like you and I agree with your statement wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, just as President's JFK ,Trump ,and Reagan warned us repeatedly ,our country has been infiltrated. Communists and globalists have been strategically placed in every facet and area of society to destroy America from within. Probably the worst besides perhaps media and politics is the school boards and education. Kids are being taught that their feelings and emoticons supercede morals and values. Revisiting old speeches, many before my time, has been extremely enlightening. I'm also very grateful that I had a much older father who taught me a great appreciation for this Republic. We've created several generations of narcissistic people who literally believe that character, right, and wrong are completely relative according to" their truth." smh Blessings!
@@lowcountrygirl7779, you've identified some problems that are deserving of a serious national debate. However, many of your readers on this website are going to instinctively ignore your post before they finish reading it. Let me tell you why. In your fourth sentence, you used the word "placed". Your claim that communists have been "strategically placed" here is stated as fact. That one phrase is a virtual invitation to have yourself dismissed as a paranoid amateur. "Smh" implies that you've given up out of frustration. Let's replace "smh" with a viable solution.

Change #6 is ironic. I grew up in a small town in Ohio. My teachers never talked about sexism or racism. Instead they rambled on and on about how Jesus was the answer. Somehow they insisted the government had "taken God out of the classroom" and Christians were oppressed victims, while preaching this stuff during class time in a public school. I heard endless pro-war rants from military recruiters and veterans brought in as experts to social studies classes. My video production teacher senior year actually turned on FOX & Friends every morning so we got to listen to it as we did our work. I was called to the principal when I spoke against the 2003 invasion of Iraq, because my opinions were "disrespectful to military families." He told me I should just keep my mouth shut and support the troops. In health class we got shown anti-abortion propaganda photos supplied by a local church. My health teacher also informed us that "Hitler was a Communist," and that Canada had free healthcare because it was "Commonwealth System" where they "hold the wealth in common." My sixth grade teacher informed us that the "big bang theory" was about an asteroid killing the dinosaurs, because it had made a "big bang" when it hit the earth.... Left-wing bias wasn't exactly the problem.

There was a school that I taught science in, for students who had struggled academically that did many of these things. 84 percent graduated with a High School Diploma and a trade. Students who did not follow these school norms were moved back to their original school and a place was opened for a new student. All new students and adults in their lives signed a paper in agreement with this. I loved working there and we found interesting ways to motivate the students. When a student discovered that they were able to learn, it opened them to learning and growth that they had never dreamed of. That moment always brought a lot of smiles.

Secondary education is NOT an example of the real world. Unless of course you are attending a military academy that still requires you to maintain their standards.
Every school should teach Economics, Finance, and real U.S. and World History and not the biased moral opinions class they teach this days and that they call History.

Asura-san - if you are in a school where you are not able to conform to the culture, there are many other choices: Montessori Schools are focused on project-oriented learning and are great for students like myself who need to actively use (kinesthetic) what is being taught in order to understand. Public schools are designed almost primarily for Audio and/or Visual learners. Since those are the highest number of learner-types it makes sense. Private schools have the capability for one-on-one teaching if necessary, and homeschooling, even if it's a mom/dad on the block teaching 5 kids - if it is necessary for a student who is easily distracted in the public school classroom setting. What this comes down to from the teacher stand point (I am one) is that parents are responsible for the placing their student in the best school they can in order to give their child the best start in life - the public school does not have the right to do this. This concept is called "School Choice"; the parents have the right to send their student to another school and the funding will follow that student to their new school. There are a lot of school choices other than public school -12 other types in fact You can find those listed here with good explanations. www.rasmussen.edu/degrees/education/blog/types-of-schools/ Additionally, if you are multilingual there is also boarding schools, or living with family in a target language country. That's the great thing in America - one size does not fit all. What Mr. Prager stated in his speech is that academics and the individual (WHO you are, not what you are) will come before everything else - race, religion, politics, gender, etc. Rather than focus on keeping a student in a state of subjugation through ignorance of the outside world, the education received will allow you to argue your thoughts and opinions while others actually listen. There are 148 fallacies currently and more are added every year - the second an educated person hears a fallacy (meaning an argument that is not actually an argument: examples: Ad Hominem (Attack the person, not the topic), F-bomb (intimidate them with the f-word until they stop talking), Political Correctness (Change the name, but not address the issue, i.e.: changing the name of Pet to Animal Companion, rather than pass laws to stop animal cruelty), etc. - THEY STOP LISTENING.

Yes, however, in this country - it should be done in all public TAX-paid entities. Likewise, the laws of this country state that companies can be run the way the owners deem necessary. It would be great if all workplaces and propaganda (not real facts) news media companies would also incorporate such speeches. While on the other side - our laws allow workplaces to work as they see fit. That's why as an adult, we have to be mindful, that is discerning and respectful of where we chose to work.

obscene language should not be banned in a country with free speech but rather not saying them should be encouraged and taught but never outright banned.
But you must understand that schools are meant to make a professional individual out you, and once you graduate a school, you should learn to coup with the real world, as some jobs may require the same code of conduct when it comes to obscene language. Even if you may not agree with my point, how hard it to not swear? Seems pretty easy for me.

So, how exactly are gonna teach U.S history without focusing much on racism and sexism? Because I feel like those were pretty important topic that had a lot to do with America’s development.
We teach real history, and be honest about it, nor do we linger on the racism/sexism, and act as if it is the same huge problem as it was yesterday, because it isn't... People keep bringing this crap up, because there are a lot of people who make money off keeping this stupidity going, and people who want to keep it going, to cause division hate, and chaos.

I have a half serious half sarcastic question for Mr. Prager. I took advanced classes through middle school and part of high school. I maintained a very high GPA for most of that time. The result of this excessive achievement was....I wanted to kill myself all the time and has little to no self esteem. If the only way self esteem can be attained is by earning it, A) what exactly was I supposed to do to earn it, and B ) what are you going to suggest to the thousands of students experiencing the same thing? To work even HARDER? Because there's no other way to attain it? Maybe if there was genuine concern for the psychological state of the students and a willingness to medicate clinical depression, I'd be on board with this. Because some of those programs DO go too far. (Participation trophies) But without acknowledging mental disorders, I cant really support that part of the program.
Exactly, Dennis doesn’t seem to grasp that mental health problems can cripple a student’s abilities, making a strict environment with high expectations even more mentally destructive than it already is.
I didn't achieve anything in school and was going to kill myself in 2012. I ended up just going to the alternative school due to it just so I can finish high school.
@@macky1660 I'm sorry you had to go through that. My experiences with clinical depression essentially crippled my ability to discipline myself for school altogether. I'm 34 and still working on it. But to clarify, are you saying that your experience was the opposite of mine? Because I didn't mean to say that a complete lack of achievement would lead to happiness either. Both of those extremes tend to be unhealthy. Rather I'm just saying that the idea self esteem only comes from earned accomplishments is faulty. If that were the case, I should have been one of the happiest, proudest kids in my school during 8th and possibly 9th grade, and instead I just wanted to die. It's actually pretty astonishing in retrospect just how much I did and how miserable I felt doing most of it.
Dennis Prager is a very articulate, intelligent man and would like all his students to have the opportunity to become equipped with the best tools for their lives as well!! Bravo, Mr. Prager, bravo!
Oh brother 🙄 This is how school used to be...not really all that long ago, and it was much, much better than it is today. I wouldn't send my children to any public school.
Dumbo Octopus Nearly every business/workplace have a dress code. Children should be getting used to this from an early age. Some very successful countries have standard school dress-codes or uniforms (e.g. U.K.), and some of the top private schools in America also require students to wear a uniform. 90% of high school students in America dress horribly! I don't really know what they wear now, but when I was in high school, most of my classmates had their pants below their hips (what a great way to "express your individuality").
I tell you now as a 2019 graduate, this principals policies would not matter in the slightest to my school's students. Im not sure how it is for the rest of you, but our teachers were our "pals." They maintained their roles in the classroom, and we all graduated because of them. But they werent all so up tight. You could have a laugh with them, and call them by their first name. One of my teachers, who I was very fond of was very social with the class. She never cared how we addressed her, she was like a friend. What this guy wants is just to much. I agree some kids, need to mature, and become young adults, starting with not playing the victim card like he mentioned. School wasnt perfect, there were plenty who did that. But still, high school is very important. Its important to get your credits, and leave, AND have 4 final years of fun with people you known your whole life. But this guy wants principals to just walk in the building like the start of some dictatorship. Now regarding the pledge of allegiance bit at the end....this is a touchy subject, but even as patriotic as I like to think I am, no one should be FORCED to say the pledge. Forcing someone to say it, is a violation of free speech. Forcing someone to say it, let alone our youth, sounds like a dictatorship. Dont get my words twisted, I'm not one of those ungrateful brats who curse Americas name, I'm just saying, forcing is not freedom. Teens always have that rebellious fire in them. If this announcement was made in my school, everyone would laugh. T.H.S Class of 2019, miss you all!

@@profilepicture828 Do you have an actual intelligent argument against what was said, or are you just talking shit because you have, you know, "feelings"?
I disagree with 2 things: 1. Only adressing teachers by their titles. I believe this should be up to the teachers. I've met teachers who feel more comfortable teaching when adressed by their first names. Also, a little familiarity with the teachers helps to making teacher-students relationships stronger, which often leads to more interest in learning (this I can say from experience as a student. I've learned more from teachers I considered friends) 2. Global warming is not about politics, it is about the environment. SCIENCE. Any political struggle related to it can be ignored, but not the matter itself.
It's best to find ways to show respect, not familiarity, with teachers. Teachers can be your friend but above that, they are your instructors, not merely friends. Friends play a different role in life than instructors do. It is a different role and with different functions. Also, global warming has become very political and the science of it is not yet clear for everyone. Much of the science is still based on projections with limited data. For example, which global warming projection from 30-50-100 years ago has come true? When I was a child, in the 1970s and 1980s, the textbooks taught about the dangers of pollution and everyone agreed that pollution was a serious issue. Global warming is dealing with projections into the future which are hard to quantify, verify and cannot be "proved" in the empirical sense.
@Vic G. Global warming poses an existential threat to, well... the entire planet and it´s not looking good. If we don´t take major political action in the next 20 years then we´re pretty much screwed. You can´t take the politics out of global warming, they are a direct logical consequence. (edit) As you may know, PragerU is literally being funded by a fossil fuel company, they have a video about climate change that was done by a guy who has literally offered to do fraudulent research on global warming to deter regulation, so PragerU might now be entirely trustworthy on that one, just sayin...
Proper rule enforcement (i.e. suspension, expulsion) would keep them in check. If you have the rules written down, nobody can legitimately complain after being thrown out of school. You automatically accepted them when you enrolled.
You get the idea of choices wrong, Bob. There are plenty of other legitimate choices for parents including home, church and private schooling. If you're really picky, do it yourself.
It has little to do with sensitivity and everything to do with being more employable, respectful, temperate, and overall well disciplined. I've never been in a professional workplace where profanity is tolerated, especially when working with clients/customers. It's about having dignity, having a well expressive and respectful vocabulary, and finding positive outlets for your emotions. Vulgarity is not professional.
The problem is that sex ed is expensive for tax payers and all 15 year old girls learn from it is get pregnant anyway. Look at americas pregnant out of wedlock charts. And this is from girls who go to school and study sex ed!
Sex ed was so stupid at my high school. We didn't even talk about safe sex. We just talked about how it was okay to be abstinent and stuff like that. I live in a democrat run state; I thought they would've loved to tell us about safe sex, or sex in general. We learned absolutely nothing about safe sex. I think I learned more from my earth science class. (geology is a fricking joke)
Rivershield When a practice that's been forced on teenagers for thousands of years suddenly becomes a thing only adults should do.

Jonathan Johnson Are you refering to pagan nations right? Sexual behavior always was restrained in Judaism and Christianism. Even if they did not respect all the laws of religion and engaged in a series of ilicit sexual activities, the standar rule of society was clear: sex should be before marriage. And its not a coincidence that the most prosperous countries of this world were built under such moral values. The problem with early sexual behavior is not pregnancy. Is morality. The schools can teach teenage girls to not get pregnant, but they can't teach them that the more sex they have, the less they value in the eyes of men, as men respect purity and condemn lust. The fact that there are so much bad adjectives to condemn female imprudent sexual behavior is not a coincidence. The more sex a boy make, the lower the chances for him to commit with a single woman, which will result in difficulties in marital life. He will not be loyal. Of course there are exceptions, but it's not a coincidence that divorce became so common in our society. The point is: How much important you think marriage is? Are your education your children to stay married or to divorce?

I was still alive when we were able to pray in our class. And I was alive when we were saying the pledge of allegiance in the class. That's where things started going downhill really fast. If you belittle religious practice and stomp on American patriotism then what's left of the rights that are in the US Constitution? I don't think that any particular religion should be taught in school but I think every kid should be taught a theology class to make them aware of all the religions around the world. And as a parent if I want to send my kids to public school which my families taxes pay for I should be able to ask the teacher to remind my child to pray before they eat or before they take a test. Because in most public schools you can't sit in with your children. Or parents are busy and going to work. I'm a registered Democrat and I'm not sure why I rode the bandwagon of progressives for three decades when all they were doing was slowly ripping my rights from me. I guess I was listening more to the media rhetoric than actually doing my own research. Americans need to wake up and know that freedom of religion. Freedom of conscience is actually the basis for all of the rights that we have. That's why the Protestants rose up against the Papacy. Sure it was a religious protest within a religious organization but it also highlighted that freedom of individuality and thought is Paramount. And eventually from this concept the US Constitution was formulated. People should be thankful for Christians who sacrificed their life for the freedoms that we have today. People should be thankful for all the lives that were lost in war to help people around the world keep their freedoms. Unfortunately though every generation forgets the previous sacrifices and accomplishments and you end up with something like the European Union. Or commu-socialism on the rise again. Wake up America. Trump might have one in 2016 but as the meme he put on his Twitter feed said they're coming for you and he's in the way. Trump is not the enemy. Those who want to take away your u.s. constitutional rights are the enemy. Anyone who wants erode those rights are the enemy. Just make sure that you remind them what country we live in with your vote. America first. American freedom forever. But it takes your vote to voice that.

Let me be clear, by the change #3 I meant the treating the teacher by title. I'm European, I never experienced having to use a uniform or dress code, so I don't have much of an opinion on it. I experienced it in university as "academic praxis" (dunno if it exists in the US), and it made sense, but it was only mandatory in related events and those were fully organized by students without the university involvement. TL;DR: Don't have much of an opinion against dress codes, I do however against forcing PC, limiting free speech, or being forced to respect a teacher that spits bad ideas.
belialpt I think that's a problem we all have though. No matter where you go, whether you're a kid you "have" to respect your parents. When you're at school the teachers. In society the government. At your job your boss. There is no freedom. Only salt. Thank god for the internet though.
The difference is that you can choose to be Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, atheist, etc... Religion is an identity, but it's chosen by passion. You can't choose to be black. You can't choose to be attracted to the same sex. You can't choose to be from another ethnicity. Politicizing physical and cultural differences is awful and allowing clubs that recognize those divisions is allowing racial/sexual politics to exist.
(Depending on the state) teachers actually get a fair wage, you need to consider the fact that they don’t work as many hours as the average worker. They get all of the same breaks students do, including summer, so in reality, teachers only work about 3/4 as much as someone in an average job.
If any of you honestly think teachers work less then you are idiots. Plain and simple. We don’t get summers off either. We leave later, come back sooner, and usually have at least one or two summer courses that we have to attend.
I don’t see the point of having language clubs when clubs based around foreign peoples are banned.

You could learn that “新幹線” means “bullet train line,” but that similarly does you little good if you know nothing about the bullet train system in Japan. You absolutely can not learn a language without also learning about the culture of the people who hold it, since you won’t know about the things that they talk about.
It's not the problem in school, there is problem in you. You don't want this school, change it if you can find a better one, since they all are the same, stay here and change for better.
Civota, you don't understand. He openly says this would make America a better place if all schools used this speech (which implies that he thinks all schools should be like this), and yet in the speech he says that if you don't like it, find another school (which implies that not all schools should be like this). There is a contradiction.
He does specifically state at a later point, however, that this applies to AMERICAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Although, I have to agree. If you are not going to a school to learn, you should not be there.
You can tell that this speaker has never been in a high school or any other school. The school is about academic, social, and individual growth. It is more social and individual then academic like almost all. A teacher or principal would not last long if they follow this.
Exactly. All my best teachers are also my pals, because it promotes a more enjoyable (and thus more memorable) environment. I've had teachers who are just teachers, and they can get their message across for sure, but they can't do it in a way that will be remembered three months later. What I've learned from my teachers who are my friends will last forever.
Every word you have typed is more than truth. I feel that not only do teachers who become your pals help you keep what you have just learned for more then the class, yet help you think more outside the box, feel better about yourself, and even help you take more of a interest tword that particular area then if some normal "teacher" tells it to you.
School is meant to be a place of structure and learning. Any distractions that do not promote a health body and mind set are not to be followed at school. You can not learn if you can not understand. English is the most widely spoken language in America that is not to say it is all you will need but it is a must if you wish to live properly in a place that speaks it. School is to prepare you for the real world asap so sit down raise your hand if you have questions and let's get to learning.

In science class we need to teach science. Therefore, we need to teach global warming in science class, and we need to have students talking about different issues in the present and the past such as racism and sexism.
Also conservatives don’t want liberals “pushing any of their ideas” onto people, yet most want to teach everyone that America is the greatest country in the world and that you should stand for the pledge!
Fatal Records If we do not discuss the faults of this past it is as if we are denying their existence and history is doomed to repeat itself. If we educate and debate about controversial topics students learn to respect each side and how to handle it appropriately.
Re: the second point- nobody I’ve met in my life wants classes in public schools to be taught in anything other than English, they just don’t want to be harassed if English isn’t their first language.
Well, then there are others you haven't met, and perhaps more to the point, there are educators of current and future educators literally teaching otherwise. Simply not harassing is not the goal for such people.
CornyBum I acknowledge that. However, I think opposing having a single lingua Franca is unsustainable, as all populations need to have a way to communicate. Therefore, as the population gets more diverse and people see why we need a language everyone speaks, this mindset will die out.
Well, I have, then again that is in countries where English is not the native language. The main complaint was that teachers were too bad in English, so they should just stuck to a language they are fluent in. If a teacher is fluent, there usually are no complaints.
I find this weird, since many people in the US are from European countries and they are told to forget about their ancestors. What is wrong with remembering German culture in the US? Should people stop speaking English because it is not a native American language, but from Europe?
I feel fortunate and blessed to have squeaked through at the last decade of saying education. It's high time we adults who still think rationally should inoculate our children, and our public institutions, against propaganda and nonsense. "This establishment has a no-tolerance policy against self-contradiction."
@Dumbo Octopus School is not a place to express yourself. It's a place to get a baseline level of workable knowledge so you can adequately function in society. Anything that gets in the way of that goal is a pointless distraction that keeps people from achieving that goal. If people need to express themselves, they can do it with words while in school and with different clothes when not in school as they are only in school for a portion of the day.
Whoa! The mid-90s was still ok! Lol I was there. I do remember a few teachers that were ridiculous, looking back recently they were part of the problem
Dumbo Octopus hey! Dumbo! You know they moved on from blaming fracking right? You need to catch up. Your so far out of touch, they are talking about an ice age again.
My biggest problem was his connection to ethnicity and nationality. He says that “race and ethnicity will no longer be honored” which insinuates an eradication of individuality and promotes subtle indoctrination. I say this because race and ethnicity have nothing to do with nationality, they only refer to one’s upbringing and experiences, which allows Americans to be different. To ignore cultural differences is the definition of intolerance, and is anti-American by nature.
Except he never say to ignore it. He point is too not use it as achievements. Don’t use your skin colour or ethnicity as a way of being proud of yourself. Being proud is something you done good, productive, successful, and useful. Not being in your race when he haven’t done anything for society. Be proud for your accomplish. Not by race or culture. You can respect it but don’t feel superior over it.
You just have selective hearing and can't understand the basic concept of what he is saying. What is America? It's a country where many cultures and people live together. American Nationality is meant to be something to unite people despite their differences. Not to eradicate individuality. Not once did he say he wanted America to DEFINE you. What he said is very American because it is trying to unite all peoples and remove segregation of any sort.

And that would be ashamed I guess u are unaware how some schools are today where the thugs come in and take over classes beating on other kids and a total disrespect for teachers and no one of authority can do anything because they can't touch kids yet it's ok for kids to assault teachers weather verbally or physically think about that!!

A “different” one... or they can head down the library and get trained by some sick, godless, perverted liberal tranny in a dress wearing makeup and a wig... maybe that’s the “right” school for those who don’t agree...
No dedicated class to that. It is different. They would discuss climate change in science, more specifically geograpy, maybe biology too. It can be part of economics too.
I think it’s funny how much these guys harp on about free speech but then someone brings up a topic they don’t like and suddenly there are restrictions
TheFlatAssSociety there is not a restriction🤦♂️ free speech has absolutely nothing to do with this free speech is about the right so peak not about teaching, gender studies ethnic studied or any of yhose other studies are obviously not good for education thus it would be stupid to not restrict them and climate change obviouly will be a theme in science but not in the wy the leftists want it
Elise Murphy Well what usually ends an ice age is the release of large amounts of carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere; as a result the Earth starts rapidly warming up. The problem is that human activity has resulted in huge amounts of greenhouse gasses being released into the atmosphere, as well as the removal of huge amounts of forest (which absorb CO2). This all results in more global warming, which results in climate change, which results in more natural disasters and sweeping crop failure.
You're right, Dennis, that speech should be published and read in every high school in the nation at the start of every school year to the entire student body.
All pretty good, but no sex education? How can you teach basic biology without teaching about how people reproduce and how that effects our own behavior?
Not true. The whole basis of any sex education is teaching about sexual reproduction which is common throughout the mammalian world -- biology. And it explains what the human genitalia are, how they work and the role they play in sexual reproduction -- more biology. It also must explain the human sexual response and the role it plays in sexual reproduction and the various behaviors around it -- more biology. Sex education is most certainly science, the "birds and the bees".
Sex Ed is a part of biology. BIo: Life Ology: The study of. The study of life. Reproduction has to do with life. As a matter of fact I'm in biology right now, and we were learning about meiosis and that has to do with reproduction. What difference does it make that genetalia isn't science? Because it is science, and it can certainly be applied to biology
"I will not authorize clubs that divide students based on identities." So... no religious clubs either, right? Like the Fellowship of Christian Athletes? Man, that sucks for them.
@@KufLMAO No, Christianity is not an exception. Religion is an expression of identity. Of belongingness.

In America, most conservatives tie up their national pride with Christianity, just look at how they claim America was founded on Judeo-Christian values.
Hello welcome to the future where sex is nothing but a health issue condom wearing is taught and we still have high abortion rates. Maybe such teachings doesnt work.
@Reid Buckley "Sexual relations with minors is illegal" Yeah and? They still do it. At least tell them to not ruin their lives with the burden of carrying a child. And you're not encouraging shit, because sex ed isn't only about sex, but what a mess it creates in your life.
@Reid BuckleyLiterally everyone at my school learned about sex from out of school, mostly through pornography at really young ages, I'm talking around elementary school for myself and all my friends at least. Most actors don't use contraceptives, it is necessary to educate teenagers about contraceptives, otherwise they'd just do what they see in pornography and make babies. School isn't teaching kids how to have sex, they're not teaching different positions or whatever, they're just telling them how to be safe and downsides of being sexually active at a young age, and unless your children are homeschooled, they know about sex whether you like it or not, 75% of 15 year olds admitted to watching porn and most conversations that age are all about sex, and roughly 25% of people have lost their virginty at that age and roughly 95% have ejaculated so yah... P.S. If you really don't want your kids attending those essential lessons, you can just sit them out, it is an option.
This is the thinking of a man who clearly has no recollection of what it's like to be a teenager and no empathy or understanding for what it is to be different in an American school. Not only are there an inordinate amount of non-americans in American schools, but we have clubs like "Spanish" and "French" club that celebrate individual cultures but are there for ANYONE to join and broaden their horizons. Under his school this would not be allowed. Not providing sex ed is PROVEN to make an increase in unwanted teen pregnancies and STD's and Global Warming is only politics because people want it to be. Just like any other highly accepted theory, it's backed by a lot of evidence. The same could happen with the theory of gravity if two opposing sides decided they had different views on it. It's ridiculous to treat it as anything but a theory, but it should be taught because the proof is almost irrefutable.
@@lifewhyz I hate to break it to you, but identity clubs aren't what create cliques. Wanting to learn more about yourself and people like you isn't evil or excluding anyone (because in most high schools identity clubs are open to everyone), it's just giving people a place to explore themselves and their interests which is essential to a lot of people's development. This also gives students who aren't academically or artistically inclined a club to belong to which fills the gap between students who do and don't have extracurriculars. Maybe a student can't do art or play an instrument and maybe their grades lack a bit to belong to beta or the NHS (because straight A's aren't everyone's reality) can participate and belong somewhere. I would even go so far that it's exclusionary not to have these clubs. The only restriction should be that everyone is allowed.
LifeWhyz Music Because apparently expressing your cultural history and exploring your individuality is “self-absorbed”. Come on, I get that for white people this isn’t a big deal since America is literally founded on Christian values and culture, but for the rest of us these things actually mean something. Stop taking them away and stop calling us “self-absorbed” and “narcissistic” for wanting to keep them.
There is a gay support club at my school, as there is big cristian influence in the neighborhood, meaning that gay students are frequently bullied. This club ACTUALLY stopped one of my friends from commiting suicide. Yeah, narcissistic of her.

@@dennischapman6893 He's referring to a line from a genre of videos called YTP (RUclips Poop) which are basically videos that take a source material and insert memes, jokes, and change what people say to make a parody video, which in my opinion, are absolutely hilarious. Here's an example: ruclips.net/video/rG_Ue3t17l0/видео.html
I agree with 95% of this video except the censoring of language within the free-time of the student. I go by the george carlin philosophy where words are innocent in an of themselves, it's the context which substantiates them. Other than that, I def agree, get rid of this cultural marxist nonsense and focus on intellectual diversity.
Freedom of Speech is there to protect students from government repression. I agree with that. However in the private workforce (what school's are preparing students for)... most employers will not tolerate you walking around swearing all the time, and freedom of speech does not protect you in a private business (aka being fired for it).
***** So on your lunch break in a workplace you can just start loudly using profanity? I never knew that... crazy. I would try it on my next lunch break.... but I want to keep my job.
ganthore That's one way of attacking a straw man. Two parties must voluntarily agree to a set of terms and conditions that are mutually beneficial within a free market, in your example the 'workplace' picture you painted most likely has a strict language code therefore in this capacity, the individual's acceptance of the terms to abide the rules and regulations of the org alters his/her freedom to use profanity in his 'free-time' (which you referred to as lunch breaks or anytime he/she is representing the org ) invalid. What I am essentially saying is that labeling words as simplistic as 'good/bad' is in itself misinformation. Because worlds in an of themselves are innocent, it's the context which substantiates them. -- ( That doesn't mean I advocate for students to start blurting out obscenities like a spastic whenever they get the opportunity.) --- They voluntarily agreed terms set by the school thus must abide by the rules and regulations of the institution-- however they should be able to express themselves in anyway they want within their 'free-time' (as defined within this instance as outside the institution ).
***** It is not a straw man. You said during "free time" at an institute. That must mean lunch time at a place of business because no one is saying you can't use profanity at your own personal home or in your personal car or by yourself out in the courtyard where no one can hear you. Words may not be inherently good or evil, however SOCIETY gives weight to words. In a workplace it is not appropriate to begin swearing (even in a joking nature) with your fellow co-workers while in the presence of your boss / customers. It is also not professional behavior at a place of business. Schools are here to prepare you for a life in which you contribute to society in one way or another (aka work / job / etc). Unless you are the owner of your own tattoo parlor.... most businesses do not accept profanity. Are you denying this? Are you trying to imply it is not unprofessional to swear in front of customers while you are in a professional environment? If you were a teacher at a school would you condone students calling each other bitches?

I am really afraid that the USA essentially wants to forget about their European heritage. Most of the European Americans don´t know much about their home countries nor their cultures. So what are you teaching your childrend, hunting buffalos? He literally says anyone not being native american has to forget about his ancestors.
If so I’m sure you don’t know what Mao Zedong’s ideology really is. I ‘m a Chinese from mainland China, and I found that most of Americans have no idea about how evil and inhumanly and injustice the society was&is under the control of totalitarian regime or communist regime. And they have no idea the Americans’ traditional values and principles (like he said in the video) are so easy to be trampled by those thuggish regime and their people filling of nationalism. In China, there are so many anti-Americans content in series and videos even in books, kids are educated in a very nationalist way, they don’t teach students how to think independently, they teach them hatred. (That’s why NBA event was going like that). That’s the reason why everyone are supposed to defend for Americans values. Cause some other values are NOT deserved to be respected.
If I understand correctly. He refers to naturalized citizens (People who are from other countries but became citizens of a country) as Americans as well as naturally born Americans. So that makes Cherokee and Sioux still American because it's Native American.
Other than them trying to sneak Global Warming into a bunch of racial and sexual -isms and hoping no one would notice they just said something directly associated with science will be forbidden from being taught.
Okay, I agree with most of this. I only really disagree with not teaching about politics. Sex Ed isn't even politics, it may be political, but it's just so backwards to say "I don't want this being taught because it's propaganda," while furthering your own agenda by NOT teaching about them. I don't want school teaching you to be religious same as I don't want them to tell you that you MUST use a condom, and sex before marriage is fine. For some, it isn't. But to gloss over something proven to help prevent drastic life changing events (i.e. Having a baby OR an abortion) is just so regressive. If you go at it with a sense of education, not propaganda, it would be fine.
Actually, when abstinence is the focus of sex ed it has proven to be just as effective. However, we are fooled into believing that we, as human beings, are too weak to control our own urges so therefore we expect and accept that teens will have sex. Personally I made a pact that I would wait until I was 18 (I turned 18 my freshman year in college) and stuck to that. I know others in my peer group who did the same. If we would change our expectations then we might start to actually see an improvement, but as long as we treat teen as uncontrollable animals we are in trouble.
Testosterone-laden young male humans are almost incapable of denying their sexual urges. Take away the stigma of masturbation and you will reduce teen pregnancy. Otherwise, young males will push and push, some young girls will give in simply so that the boy will like them. Testosterone is the killer drug.
Sex is going to happen whether people agree with it or not. Educate kids that sex is a natural, healthy thing, and if they're going to engage in it, to do so safely. Personally, I think it's better to be educated about possible risks and how to minimize them along with abstinence. If you don't feel comfortable having sex until a certain age or until marriage, don't and stick to your convictions. If the person you're with doesn't understand that, then they're not right for you. It's not that hard.
I would want my kid to be taught to succeed in this world. Not how to be a social justice Warrior. Being an activist won't put food on the table when your older. So tell your kid to stop wasting my kids time.
Ill do it as soon as i graduate high school, graduate from college with an education degree, be a teacher for 15 or 20 years, take over the school and just pull up the video as the new principal. Then again id be fired for even talking as im a white cis male with all the privileges
How is learning about yourself and learning safe sex political? It's only political because people of people saying they don't want it in school, so in order to make it not political wouldn't that mean it's accepted?

Even if the principle gave this speech. You're probrobly unaware that no student cares about the principle, nor what they have to say. They rarely interact with students and are rarely seen. The teachers have a much greater impact on the students.
Yes but its not just the speech but also how they would run the school and dictate things to the teachers and staff. So the students don't have to care because the changes would happen regardless. Or at least whatever changes were within the principal's power to make. But yeah saying "GIVE THIS SPEECH PRINCIPALS" and it ends there. But I think the larger goal is to say give this speech but then also enforce it and he thinks it'll improve America. And I would say depending on your definition of improve it certainly would. It would make people more cookie cutter and less divided and also more suited for blindly going into the work force. In pure productivity I'm sure the country would improve. If were all actually mind controlled it would also definitely improve productivity towards the country itself's goals. So looking at purely a work force and good behavior point of you I'm sure the American country would be better. But also lacking in many other areas that are kind of important to the individual.

Change #6 is ironic. I grew up in a small town in Ohio. My teachers never talked about sexism or racism. Instead they rambled on and on about how Jesus was the answer. Somehow they insisted the government had "taken God out of the classroom" and Christians were oppressed victims, while preaching this stuff during class time in a public school. I heard endless pro-war rants from military recruiters and veterans brought in as experts to social studies classes. My video production teacher senior year actually turned on FOX & Friends every morning so we got to listen to it as we did our work. I was called to the principal when I spoke against the 2003 invasion of Iraq, because my opinions were "disrespectful to military families." He told me I should just keep my mouth shut and support the troops. In health class we got shown anti-abortion propaganda photos supplied by a local church. My health teacher also informed us that "Hitler was a Communist," and that Canada had free healthcare because it was "Commonwealth System" where they "hold the wealth in common." My sixth grade teacher informed us that the "big bang theory" was about an asteroid killing the dinosaurs, because it had made a "big bang" when it hit the earth.... Left-wing bias wasn't exactly the problem.
Your teachers’ explicit lack of qualification for their jobs would be hilarious if it weren’t so disturbing.

There was a school that I taught science in, for students who had struggled academically that did many of these things. 84 percent graduated with a High School Diploma and a trade. Students who did not follow these school norms were moved back to their original school and a place was opened for a new student. All new students and adults in their lives signed a paper in agreement with this.
I loved working there and we found interesting ways to motivate the students. When a student discovered that they were able to learn, it opened them to learning and growth that they had never dreamed of. That moment always brought a lot of smiles.

Every school should teach Economics, Finance, and real U.S. and World History and not the biased moral opinions class they teach this days and that they call History.
@Webis Tebis Agreed
Cesar E I am lucky enough to have my school have mandatory classes devoted to those things.
Economics was required at my high school. Albiet not until senior year.

"If you don't like it, go to another school"
But every school will say that!!

@@Kaiser-jo3uj Your parents tell you to go to another school
Not all schools are American High Schools. Students can move to Canada, The U.K, France, Spain, and Luxembourg.
Asura-san - if you are in a school where you are not able to conform to the culture, there are many other choices: Montessori Schools are focused on project-oriented learning and are great for students like myself who need to actively use (kinesthetic) what is being taught in order to understand. Public schools are designed almost primarily for Audio and/or Visual learners. Since those are the highest number of learner-types it makes sense. Private schools have the capability for one-on-one teaching if necessary, and homeschooling, even if it's a mom/dad on the block teaching 5 kids - if it is necessary for a student who is easily distracted in the public school classroom setting. What this comes down to from the teacher stand point (I am one) is that parents are responsible for the placing their student in the best school they can in order to give their child the best start in life - the public school does not have the right to do this. This concept is called "School Choice"; the parents have the right to send their student to another school and the funding will follow that student to their new school. There are a lot of school choices other than public school -12 other types in fact
You can find those listed here with good explanations. www.rasmussen.edu/degrees/education/blog/types-of-schools/
Additionally, if you are multilingual there is also boarding schools, or living with family in a target language country. That's the great thing in America - one size does not fit all.
What Mr. Prager stated in his speech is that academics and the individual (WHO you are, not what you are) will come before everything else - race, religion, politics, gender, etc. Rather than focus on keeping a student in a state of subjugation through ignorance of the outside world, the education received will allow you to argue your thoughts and opinions while others actually listen. There are 148 fallacies currently and more are added every year - the second an educated person hears a fallacy (meaning an argument that is not actually an argument: examples: Ad Hominem (Attack the person, not the topic), F-bomb (intimidate them with the f-word until they stop talking), Political Correctness (Change the name, but not address the issue, i.e.: changing the name of Pet to Animal Companion, rather than pass laws to stop animal cruelty), etc. - THEY STOP LISTENING. Because you are no longer another educated person with a valuable opinion.
You can find them here. utminers.utep.edu/omwilliamson/ENGL1311/fallacies.htm Freshman level course meaning this is taught just after High School.

I have lived my entire 70 years in Canada, but I rise and sing both national anthems, and have always been proud of my American heritage. But….in the last 10-12 years, particularly the last 2 years…..I have been completely discussed by the deplorable decline of the American society, particularly the education system. I watch some of these RUclips videos where random people are asked “basic” questions about…… math, science, geography, grammar, etc…..and they are completely unable to answer a single question. I’m Canadian, and I can answer all of them. What kind of education system “graduates“ people who are totally illiterate and useless???

We don't avoid the ism. We teach what happened so people won't do it again. That's what teaching history is about?
We teach real history, and be honest about it, nor do we linger on the racism/sexism, and act as if it is the same huge problem as it was yesterday, because it isn't... People keep bringing this crap up, because there are a lot of people who make money off keeping this stupidity going, and people who want to keep it going, to cause division hate, and chaos.

Which is s good thing. However Dennis Prager is not Christian.
I have a half serious half sarcastic question for Mr. Prager.
I took advanced classes through middle school and part of high school. I maintained a very high GPA for most of that time. The result of this excessive achievement was....I wanted to kill myself all the time and has little to no self esteem. If the only way self esteem can be attained is by earning it, A) what exactly was I supposed to do to earn it, and B ) what are you going to suggest to the thousands of students experiencing the same thing? To work even HARDER? Because there's no other way to attain it?
Maybe if there was genuine concern for the psychological state of the students and a willingness to medicate clinical depression, I'd be on board with this. Because some of those programs DO go too far. (Participation trophies) But without acknowledging mental disorders, I cant really support that part of the program.
Exactly, Dennis doesn’t seem to grasp that mental health problems can cripple a student’s abilities, making a strict environment with high expectations even more mentally destructive than it already is.
Completely agree
Just thrive on the black pit in your heart like the rest of us do. /s
I didn't achieve anything in school and was going to kill myself in 2012. I ended up just going to the alternative school due to it just so I can finish high school.
@@macky1660 I'm sorry you had to go through that. My experiences with clinical depression essentially crippled my ability to discipline myself for school altogether. I'm 34 and still working on it.
But to clarify, are you saying that your experience was the opposite of mine? Because I didn't mean to say that a complete lack of achievement would lead to happiness either. Both of those extremes tend to be unhealthy. Rather I'm just saying that the idea self esteem only comes from earned accomplishments is faulty. If that were the case, I should have been one of the happiest, proudest kids in my school during 8th and possibly 9th grade, and instead I just wanted to die. It's actually pretty astonishing in retrospect just how much I did and how miserable I felt doing most of it.

I wouldn't send my children to any public school.
Dumbo Octopus Nearly every business/workplace have a dress code. Children should be getting used to this from an early age. Some very successful countries have standard school dress-codes or uniforms (e.g. U.K.), and some of the top private schools in America also require students to wear a uniform. 90% of high school students in America dress horribly! I don't really know what they wear now, but when I was in high school, most of my classmates had their pants below their hips (what a great way to "express your individuality").
@74hawksfan Preach it! Preach it!!
mom: drugs wont affect my child!!!1!
her child:
I tell you now as a 2019 graduate, this principals policies would not matter in the slightest to my school's students. Im not sure how it is for the rest of you, but our teachers were our "pals." They maintained their roles in the classroom, and we all graduated because of them. But they werent all so up tight. You could have a laugh with them, and call them by their first name. One of my teachers, who I was very fond of was very social with the class. She never cared how we addressed her, she was like a friend.
What this guy wants is just to much. I agree some kids, need to mature, and become young adults, starting with not playing the victim card like he mentioned. School wasnt perfect, there were plenty who did that. But still, high school is very important. Its important to get your credits, and leave, AND have 4 final years of fun with people you known your whole life. But this guy wants principals to just walk in the building like the start of some dictatorship.
Now regarding the pledge of allegiance bit at the end....this is a touchy subject, but even as patriotic as I like to think I am, no one should be FORCED to say the pledge. Forcing someone to say it, is a violation of free speech. Forcing someone to say it, let alone our youth, sounds like a dictatorship. Dont get my words twisted, I'm not one of those ungrateful brats who curse Americas name, I'm just saying, forcing is not freedom.

@@profilepicture828 Do you have an actual intelligent argument against what was said, or are you just talking shit because you have, you know, "feelings"?
I disagree with 2 things:
1. Only adressing teachers by their titles. I believe this should be up to the teachers. I've met teachers who feel more comfortable teaching when adressed by their first names. Also, a little familiarity with the teachers helps to making teacher-students relationships stronger, which often leads to more interest in learning (this I can say from experience as a student. I've learned more from teachers I considered friends)
2. Global warming is not about politics, it is about the environment. SCIENCE. Any political struggle related to it can be ignored, but not the matter itself.
Vic G. Umm we disagree with everything my dude, youre not alone. It cool
It's best to find ways to show respect, not familiarity, with teachers. Teachers can be your friend but above that, they are your instructors, not merely friends. Friends play a different role in life than instructors do. It is a different role and with different functions. Also, global warming has become very political and the science of it is not yet clear for everyone. Much of the science is still based on projections with limited data. For example, which global warming projection from 30-50-100 years ago has come true? When I was a child, in the 1970s and 1980s, the textbooks taught about the dangers of pollution and everyone agreed that pollution was a serious issue. Global warming is dealing with projections into the future which are hard to quantify, verify and cannot be "proved" in the empirical sense.
@Vic G. Global warming poses an existential threat to, well... the entire planet and it´s not looking good. If we don´t take major political action in the next 20 years then we´re pretty much screwed. You can´t take the politics out of global warming, they are a direct logical consequence.
(edit) As you may know, PragerU is literally being funded by a fossil fuel company, they have a video about climate change that was done by a guy who has literally offered to do fraudulent research on global warming to deter regulation, so PragerU might now be entirely trustworthy on that one, just sayin...
Also not teaching Sex Ed in classrooms is a dumb idea

Global warming can be proved by looking at now compared to a few years ago. So it should be taught.
The kids will forget this in a day tbh 😂

Public schools at its finest.
Bet they don't when those changes go into effect. OTOH, relief is just a lawsuit away.
Proper rule enforcement (i.e. suspension, expulsion) would keep them in check. If you have the rules written down, nobody can legitimately complain after being thrown out of school. You automatically accepted them when you enrolled.
You get the idea of choices wrong, Bob. There are plenty of other legitimate choices for parents including home, church and private schooling. If you're really picky, do it yourself.
All common sense and sorely needed in public education. Thank you, Dennis Prager!
Tries to make people less sensitive.
Bans swear words.
That Guy He is not being sensitive by doing that he is trying to teach the children to be respectful
There's being sensitive, and then there's offering a necessary lesson to kids that employers don't care for attitude. I find the point acceptable
Tekashto Sure but sadly the world we live in students curse people out or greet their pals which is not appropiate
It has little to do with sensitivity and everything to do with being more employable, respectful, temperate, and overall well disciplined. I've never been in a professional workplace where profanity is tolerated, especially when working with clients/customers. It's about having dignity, having a well expressive and respectful vocabulary, and finding positive outlets for your emotions. Vulgarity is not professional.
Porter Lyman you are right.
At 4:50 when he said Global Warming was political propaganda and not academic (scientific), I borderline shat myself with anger.
A big part of it is propaganda. :)
I guess the political propaganda has worked on you then.
Your mom is so hot she created the global warming.
This is for high school remember, so anything taught will be the the politics of it because the science is university level.
lol what? Disagreement = Triggered
I agree with most of this but I still think it's important to teach kids sex Ed.
The problem is that schools miseducate kids.
The problem is that sex ed is expensive for tax payers and all 15 year old girls learn from it is get pregnant anyway.
Look at americas pregnant out of wedlock charts. And this is from girls who go to school and study sex ed!
Sex ed was so stupid at my high school. We didn't even talk about safe sex. We just talked about how it was okay to be abstinent and stuff like that. I live in a democrat run state; I thought they would've loved to tell us about safe sex, or sex in general. We learned absolutely nothing about safe sex. I think I learned more from my earth science class. (geology is a fricking joke)
Rivershield When a practice that's been forced on teenagers for thousands of years suddenly becomes a thing only adults should do.

Jonathan Johnson Are you refering to pagan nations right? Sexual behavior always was restrained in Judaism and Christianism. Even if they did not respect all the laws of religion and engaged in a series of ilicit sexual activities, the standar rule of society was clear: sex should be before marriage. And its not a coincidence that the most prosperous countries of this world were built under such moral values.
The problem with early sexual behavior is not pregnancy. Is morality. The schools can teach teenage girls to not get pregnant, but they can't teach them that the more sex they have, the less they value in the eyes of men, as men respect purity and condemn lust. The fact that there are so much bad adjectives to condemn female imprudent sexual behavior is not a coincidence. The more sex a boy make, the lower the chances for him to commit with a single woman, which will result in difficulties in marital life. He will not be loyal.
Of course there are exceptions, but it's not a coincidence that divorce became so common in our society.
The point is: How much important you think marriage is? Are your education your children to stay married or to divorce?

If you belittle religious practice and stomp on American patriotism then what's left of the rights that are in the US Constitution?
I don't think that any particular religion should be taught in school but I think every kid should be taught a theology class to make them aware of all the religions around the world.
And as a parent if I want to send my kids to public school which my families taxes pay for I should be able to ask the teacher to remind my child to pray before they eat or before they take a test. Because in most public schools you can't sit in with your children. Or parents are busy and going to work.
I'm a registered Democrat and I'm not sure why I rode the bandwagon of progressives for three decades when all they were doing was slowly ripping my rights from me. I guess I was listening more to the media rhetoric than actually doing my own research.
Americans need to wake up and know that freedom of religion. Freedom of conscience is actually the basis for all of the rights that we have.
That's why the Protestants rose up against the Papacy. Sure it was a religious protest within a religious organization but it also highlighted that freedom of individuality and thought is Paramount.
And eventually from this concept the US Constitution was formulated.
People should be thankful for Christians who sacrificed their life for the freedoms that we have today. People should be thankful for all the lives that were lost in war to help people around the world keep their freedoms.
Unfortunately though every generation forgets the previous sacrifices and accomplishments and you end up with something like the European Union. Or commu-socialism on the rise again.
Wake up America. Trump might have one in 2016 but as the meme he put on his Twitter feed said they're coming for you and he's in the way. Trump is not the enemy.

That’s the high school I graduated from in 1990. What has really happened to our school system? Oh that’s right, we so desperately focusing on how not to offend someone or some group.
You're 51.
and yet, you sound offended... interesting
such a snowflake, offended by any small amount of change
While I agree with the motivation, I disagree with the changes 3 and 4.
Yeah. While #3 adds to the uniformity, it's not really necessary. #4 should be discouraged, but not enforced unless it's an extreme case of misbehavior.
Yeah strict dress codes and speech control only hinders learning and interest in it , not helps it,
But in high schools such discipline is needed because people at that age are usually twats.
+Edvinas Tamošaitis I was a twat. Probably still am 40 years later.
Let me be clear, by the change #3 I meant the treating the teacher by title. I'm European, I never experienced having to use a uniform or dress code, so I don't have much of an opinion on it. I experienced it in university as "academic praxis" (dunno if it exists in the US), and it made sense, but it was only mandatory in related events and those were fully organized by students without the university involvement.
TL;DR: Don't have much of an opinion against dress codes, I do however against forcing PC, limiting free speech, or being forced to respect a teacher that spits bad ideas.
belialpt I think that's a problem we all have though. No matter where you go, whether you're a kid you "have" to respect your parents. When you're at school the teachers. In society the government. At your job your boss. There is no freedom. Only salt.
Thank god for the internet though.
I assume he also means NO religious clubs either.
Allowed, but can't be exclusive. For instance a Christian club can't exclude Muslims or Atheist and vice versa.
That's a good question because religion can be defined as an identity and as a practice/passion.
The difference is that you can choose to be Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, atheist, etc... Religion is an identity, but it's chosen by passion.
You can't choose to be black. You can't choose to be attracted to the same sex. You can't choose to be from another ethnicity. Politicizing physical and cultural differences is awful and allowing clubs that recognize those divisions is allowing racial/sexual politics to exist.
GSA club in high school isn't exclusive either. It wasn't ever supposed to be. That is until feminists hijacked it.

"There is no greater calling
than to teach young people" yeah how about we pay our teachers that way
(Depending on the state) teachers actually get a fair wage, you need to consider the fact that they don’t work as many hours as the average worker. They get all of the same breaks students do, including summer, so in reality, teachers only work about 3/4 as much as someone in an average job.
@@danielward5164 The average school year is 180 days. Therefore teachers work approximately 1/2 year. And work approximately 30 hours per week.
@@danielward5164 Also, they have to deal with kids, for Christ's sake.
If any of you honestly think teachers work less then you are idiots. Plain and simple. We don’t get summers off either. We leave later, come back sooner, and usually have at least one or two summer courses that we have to attend.
Nope. That’s communism
I don’t see the point of having language clubs when clubs based around foreign peoples are banned. In Swedish for example they could teach you that “allemansrätten” means “every man’s right,” but that does you little good unless you know what that is in Sweden. You could learn that “新幹線” means “bullet train line,” but that similarly does you little good if you know nothing about the bullet train system in Japan. You absolutely can not learn a language without also learning about the culture of the people who hold it, since you won’t know about the things that they talk about.
>every school
>not the right school for you
...I see a problem here.
It's not the problem in school, there is problem in you. You don't want this school, change it if you can find a better one, since they all are the same, stay here and change for better.
Civota, you don't understand. He openly says this would make America a better place if all schools used this speech (which implies that he thinks all schools should be like this), and yet in the speech he says that if you don't like it, find another school (which implies that not all schools should be like this). There is a contradiction.
We both understand what's going on, let's not argue about this unimportant topic ever again...
He's saying this should be said in every PUBLIC school. Therefore finding another school to fit your beliefs is finding a private school for you.
He does specifically state at a later point, however, that this applies to AMERICAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Although, I have to agree. If you are not going to a school to learn, you should not be there.
You can tell that this speaker has never been in a high school or any other school. The school is about academic, social, and individual growth. It is more social and individual then academic like almost all. A teacher or principal would not last long if they follow this.

God forbid your students have a close relationship with their teachers, which would create a fun learning environment where people feel accepted.
Exactly. All my best teachers are also my pals, because it promotes a more enjoyable (and thus more memorable) environment.

I feel that not only do teachers who become your pals help you keep what you have just learned for more then the class, yet help you think more outside the box, feel better about yourself, and even help you take more of a interest tword that particular area then if some normal "teacher" tells it to you.

Re: the second point- nobody I’ve met in my life wants classes in public schools to be taught in anything other than English, they just don’t want to be harassed if English isn’t their first language.
Well, then there are others you haven't met, and perhaps more to the point, there are educators of current and future educators literally teaching otherwise. Simply not harassing is not the goal for such people.
CornyBum I acknowledge that. However, I think opposing having a single lingua Franca is unsustainable, as all populations need to have a way to communicate. Therefore, as the population gets more diverse and people see why we need a language everyone speaks, this mindset will die out.
In Sweden we have classes in other languages.
Well, I have, then again that is in countries where English is not the native language. The main complaint was that teachers were too bad in English, so they should just stuck to a language they are fluent in. If a teacher is fluent, there usually are no complaints.
This should literally be the speech at every single school across the country to start every school year. That would be awesome!
I find this weird, since many people in the US are from European countries and they are told to forget about their ancestors.
What is wrong with remembering German culture in the US?

My biggest problem was his connection to ethnicity and nationality. He says that “race and ethnicity will no longer be honored” which insinuates an eradication of individuality and promotes subtle indoctrination. I say this because race and ethnicity have nothing to do with nationality, they only refer to one’s upbringing and experiences, which allows Americans to be different. To ignore cultural differences is the definition of intolerance, and is anti-American by nature.
Are you saying you should be more proud of what you look like instead of your spiritual and intellectual self?
Except he never say to ignore it. He point is too not use it as achievements. Don’t use your skin colour or ethnicity as a way of being proud of yourself. Being proud is something you done good, productive, successful, and useful. Not being in your race when he haven’t done anything for society. Be proud for your accomplish. Not by race or culture. You can respect it but don’t feel superior over it.

Well what usually ends an ice age is the release of large amounts of carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere; as a result the Earth starts rapidly warming up. The problem is that human activity has resulted in huge amounts of greenhouse gasses being released into the atmosphere, as well as the removal of huge amounts of forest (which absorb CO2).
This all results in more global warming, which results in climate change, which results in more natural disasters and sweeping crop failure.
You're right, Dennis, that speech should be published and read in every high school in the nation at the start of every school year to the entire student body.
All pretty good, but no sex education? How can you teach basic biology without teaching about how people reproduce and how that effects our own behavior?
Paul Pikowsky sex Ed and biology are completely different, biology is science, sex Ed is not
Not true. The whole basis of any sex education is teaching about sexual reproduction which is common throughout the mammalian world -- biology. And it explains what the human genitalia are, how they work and the role they play in sexual reproduction -- more biology. It also must explain the human sexual response and the role it plays in sexual reproduction and the various behaviors around it -- more biology. Sex education is most certainly science, the "birds and the bees".
Paul Pikowsky he never said don't teach sex education
Sex education in America is near pointless with the internet's existence. Not to mention some of the stuff they teach is outdated.
Sex Ed is a part of biology. BIo: Life Ology: The study of. The study of life. Reproduction has to do with life. As a matter of fact I'm in biology right now, and we were learning about meiosis and that has to do with reproduction. What difference does it make that genetalia isn't science? Because it is science, and it can certainly be applied to biology

@Reid Buckley "Sexual relations with minors is illegal" Yeah and? They still do it. At least tell them to not ruin their lives with the burden of carrying a child. And you're not encouraging shit, because sex ed isn't only about sex, but what a mess it creates in your life.
Conservative hippocrasy is unending
@Reid BuckleyLiterally everyone at my school learned about sex from out of school, mostly through pornography at really young ages, I'm talking around elementary school for myself and all my friends at least. Most actors don't use contraceptives, it is necessary to educate teenagers about contraceptives, otherwise they'd just do what they see in pornography and make babies. School isn't teaching kids how to have sex, they're not teaching different positions or whatever, they're just telling them how to be safe and downsides of being sexually active at a young age, and unless your children are homeschooled, they know about sex whether you like it or not, 75% of 15 year olds admitted to watching porn and most conversations that age are all about sex, and roughly 25% of people have lost their virginty at that age and roughly 95% have ejaculated so yah... P.S. If you really don't want your kids attending those essential lessons, you can just sit them out, it is an option.
Imagine that ! An educator who's major concerns are learning and achievement,,why didn't anyone think of this before?
This is the thinking of a man who clearly has no recollection of what it's like to be a teenager and no empathy or understanding for what it is to be different in an American school. Not only are there an inordinate amount of non-americans in American schools, but we have clubs like "Spanish" and "French" club that celebrate individual cultures but are there for ANYONE to join and broaden their horizons. Under his school this would not be allowed. Not providing sex ed is PROVEN to make an increase in unwanted teen pregnancies and STD's and Global Warming is only politics because people want it to be. Just like any other highly accepted theory, it's backed by a lot of evidence. The same could happen with the theory of gravity if two opposing sides decided they had different views on it. It's ridiculous to treat it as anything but a theory, but it should be taught because the proof is almost irrefutable.
Identity clubs exclude people and cause cliques. It creates an atmosphere of 'us' and 'them'. It's about time people stopped being so self-absorbed.
@@lifewhyz I hate to break it to you, but identity clubs aren't what create cliques. Wanting to learn more about yourself and people like you isn't evil or excluding anyone (because in most high schools identity clubs are open to everyone), it's just giving people a place to explore themselves and their interests which is essential to a lot of people's development. This also gives students who aren't academically or artistically inclined a club to belong to which fills the gap between students who do and don't have extracurriculars. Maybe a student can't do art or play an instrument and maybe their grades lack a bit to belong to beta or the NHS (because straight A's aren't everyone's reality) can participate and belong somewhere. I would even go so far that it's exclusionary not to have these clubs. The only restriction should be that everyone is allowed.
LifeWhyz Music Because apparently expressing your cultural history and exploring your individuality is “self-absorbed”.

Here's an example: ruclips.net/video/rG_Ue3t17l0/видео.html
This is fantastic. I'm from Australia and this speech is just as relevant here. ❤ 🇭🇲
I agree with 95% of this video except the censoring of language within the free-time of the student. I go by the george carlin philosophy where words are innocent in an of themselves, it's the context which substantiates them.
Other than that, I def agree, get rid of this cultural marxist nonsense and focus on intellectual diversity.
Freedom of Speech is there to protect students from government repression. I agree with that. However in the private workforce (what school's are preparing students for)... most employers will not tolerate you walking around swearing all the time, and freedom of speech does not protect you in a private business (aka being fired for it).
ganthore Absolutely, which is why I stated 'free-time'.
***** So on your lunch break in a workplace you can just start loudly using profanity? I never knew that... crazy. I would try it on my next lunch break.... but I want to keep my job.
ganthore That's one way of attacking a straw man. Two parties must voluntarily agree to a set of terms and conditions that are mutually beneficial within a free market, in your example the 'workplace' picture you painted most likely has a strict language code therefore in this capacity, the individual's acceptance of the terms to abide the rules and regulations of the org alters his/her freedom to use profanity in his 'free-time' (which you referred to as lunch breaks or anytime he/she is representing the org ) invalid.
What I am essentially saying is that labeling words as simplistic as 'good/bad' is in itself misinformation. Because worlds in an of themselves are innocent, it's the context which substantiates them. -- ( That doesn't mean I advocate for students to start blurting out obscenities like a spastic whenever they get the opportunity.)
--- They voluntarily agreed terms set by the school thus must abide by the rules and regulations of the institution-- however they should be able to express themselves in anyway they want within their 'free-time' (as defined within this instance as outside the institution ).
***** It is not a straw man. You said during "free time" at an institute. That must mean lunch time at a place of business because no one is saying you can't use profanity at your own personal home or in your personal car or by yourself out in the courtyard where no one can hear you.
Words may not be inherently good or evil, however SOCIETY gives weight to words. In a workplace it is not appropriate to begin swearing (even in a joking nature) with your fellow co-workers while in the presence of your boss / customers. It is also not professional behavior at a place of business.
Schools are here to prepare you for a life in which you contribute to society in one way or another (aka work / job / etc). Unless you are the owner of your own tattoo parlor.... most businesses do not accept profanity.
Are you denying this? Are you trying to imply it is not unprofessional to swear in front of customers while you are in a professional environment? If you were a teacher at a school would you condone students calling each other bitches?

And they have no idea the Americans’ traditional values and principles (like he said in the video) are so easy to be trampled by those thuggish regime and their people filling of nationalism. In China, there are so many anti-Americans content in series and videos even in books, kids are educated in a very nationalist way, they don’t teach students how to think independently, they teach them hatred.

Okay, I agree with most of this. I only really disagree with not teaching about politics. Sex Ed isn't even politics, it may be political, but it's just so backwards to say "I don't want this being taught because it's propaganda," while furthering your own agenda by NOT teaching about them. I don't want school teaching you to be religious same as I don't want them to tell you that you MUST use a condom, and sex before marriage is fine. For some, it isn't. But to gloss over something proven to help prevent drastic life changing events (i.e. Having a baby OR an abortion) is just so regressive. If you go at it with a sense of education, not propaganda, it would be fine.
Actually, when abstinence is the focus of sex ed it has proven to be just as effective. However, we are fooled into believing that we, as human beings, are too weak to control our own urges so therefore we expect and accept that teens will have sex. Personally I made a pact that I would wait until I was 18 (I turned 18 my freshman year in college) and stuck to that. I know others in my peer group who did the same. If we would change our expectations then we might start to actually see an improvement, but as long as we treat teen as uncontrollable animals we are in trouble.
Testosterone-laden young male humans are almost incapable of denying their sexual urges. Take away the stigma of masturbation and you will reduce teen pregnancy. Otherwise, young males will push and push, some young girls will give in simply so that the boy will like them. Testosterone is the killer drug.
Sex is going to happen whether people agree with it or not. Educate kids that sex is a natural, healthy thing, and if they're going to engage in it, to do so safely. Personally, I think it's better to be educated about possible risks and how to minimize them along with abstinence. If you don't feel comfortable having sex until a certain age or until marriage, don't and stick to your convictions. If the person you're with doesn't understand that, then they're not right for you. It's not that hard.
If a principal actually did this in the public school system they would be fired!
We could only hope.
I would want my kid to be taught to succeed in this world. Not how to be a social justice Warrior. Being an activist won't put food on the table when your older. So tell your kid to stop wasting my kids time.
Ill do it as soon as i graduate high school, graduate from college with an education degree, be a teacher for 15 or 20 years, take over the school and just pull up the video as the new principal. Then again id be fired for even talking as im a white cis male with all the privileges
