Transcripts from Bannon’s War Room on Rumble: Justice: Parents are Done Being Lied to about their Kids' Education Material and Teaching Methods
Published September 1, 2022.
Steve Bannon:
I want to bring Tiffany Justice from Moms for Liberty, remember the theory of the case for the Moms for Liberty and other parental rights groups is that hey we want in a government run school in a public school, we want the public schools to focus on the basic skill set that young people need to compete in an industrial and postindustrial world against kids in China, against kids in India. We have no problem with competition at all, United States never had, but we need those children to be at the top of their game.
And in doing that we need the time in those schools dedicated dedicated to make sure that they come out and they have not what they call critical thinking skills by this indoctrination program, but the basics of math, rhetoric of language, of reading and comprehension of all those basics from the good old 19th century right that led us to become industrial powerhouse in to win World War II right actually to win World War I. We need that level of teaching.
Today reported Associated Press (Reading, math scores fell sharply during pandemic, data show). (Chalk Beat Article: Math and reading scores plummet on national test, erasing 20 years of progress). Now everybody picked up the story guess what? A massive drop in reading and math skills. I think the reading skills dropped to 30 years, math skills dropping beyond comprehension and wait for it they're blaming the pandemic. No, this is gaslighting and a lie, okay.
What the pandemic did is exposed to the parents who, by the way we're not political at all in this starting. They were not political. They just care about their kids. They saw on those computer screens exactly what was going on. You know what, it was not reading writing and arithmetic. They thought they were dropping their kids off at school and the kids are learning this and they're watching the computer screens they’re walking by and the kids little kids up there and they're not seeing that. They're seeing something totally radically different.
Tiffany Justice walk us through what this report says today. This is a bombshell report and I'm so proud that we have in April of 2021 I said that the moms of America are going to be the key that picks the lock in this country to turn this country around. And they're going to do it through the school boards. It's because the mask mandates, the vaccine mandates but also what they're finding out of what little Johnny and Sue are not learning in school. Tiffany Justice walk us through this report and why Moms for Liberty and other parental rights groups are at the cutting edge of really turning this country around and saving this republic ma'am.
Tiffany Justice:
So, I served on school board from 2016 to 2020 and I started to, I wanted to serve because I was watching in my own children’s school district, we had 28% of African American students reading on grade level but this school was getting in A in the state grading system consistently. And I just kept thinking if I was the principal of this school, I would reject the A.
How can you have an entire subgroup of students not reading on grade level and yet celebrate an A and I know I've come on before and said school districts to do two things really well. They protect themselves with our taxpayer dollars and they celebrate themselves and they do that to protect themselves. And so, what we're seeing right now with school districts across the country is they're not talking about student achievement, they're talking about rankings, oh our district went up in the rankings, well why did your district go up in the rankings? Not because the kids did better it's because other districts did worse than your district and that's a lie.
And so, parents are done being lied to in America when it comes to their children's education. Your right Steve, COVID was very difficult in many ways, but it is a blessing and we at Moms for liberty are making lemonade. We are awake now. We see what's happening with our children when you saw parents across the country during the pandemic fighting to open schools.
We were told kids are resilient, learning loss isn't real, opening schools is white supremacy school isn't closed just the buildings are kids don't need to see faces is that true really, I mean American parents are not stupid. And you're right about the scores. I mean they've only gotten worse. You have Chicago Public Schools whose teachers’ unions have been totally out of control, fighting against the mayor and yet Randy Weingarten’s in Chicago celebrating the Chicago Teachers Union and their scores have dropped from about 30-40% proficiency before the pandemic to down into the teens.
You have senator Tiara Mack having kids lie down on the steps of the Rhode Island Capitol building after a school shooting covering themselves with fake blood, but only 11% of kids in Rhode Island are proficient in reading. I mean when I say that our children are being turned into little social justice warriors, they are. There is not a concern for these children to be literate. They want them to be politically literate but not actually literate. And so, we're seeing a lot of their traditional ways that reading has been taught being challenged now. Balanced literacy is really going out the window and people are going back to phonics, but when we look at a lot of these different curriculums that are being used for reading across the country, they don't have a focus on phonics and that's where we need to get back to.
And American parents are wise to the game. We're done with Randy Weingarten being this arsonist pretending to be a firefighter. I don't know if you know Steve, but the White House just convened a meeting that Doctor Jill Biden apparently presided over it and it was a big payday to American Teachers Unions and guess who wasn't at the table, guess who didn't have a seat, parents.
Steve Bannon:
What is, this report lays it all out. I mean you can't hide from this anymore This is why we're not competitive. I mean I think we rank in like 50th in the world. It is of the one of our highest priorities to sort this out. Tell us about what parental rights is. Why it's so important and why people out there, even folks that don't have children or their children are grown, have to participate in this and have to get engaged in this really at the cutting edge or turning this nation around.
Tiffany Justice:
Yeah, parental rights are fundamental rights. That means that you as the parent have the right to direct the upbringing of your child, their medical care, their education for health care, they're moral and religious upbringing. And I think we've seen very clearly across the United States that parental rights are under attack.
As I've come on the show and said before, there are social transition forms where children are changing their gender at school and schools are keeping it a secret from parents. This isn't just about parents getting involved. We need everything single member, that your listeners across America to recognize this is the biggest national security crisis that we have; a generation of children who cannot read, who cannot think for themselves who cannot look at data and make independent decisions. You talked about critical thinking.
We want our kids to be critical thinkers. We want them to be able to take in information and analyze it and make a decision for their own. But that's not what's happening, critical theory is what has been laced into American public schools and that really makes the child be at odds with everything including the United States of America. Kids in America right now are being taught that America is a systemically racist broken country that cannot be redeemed and that it must be torn down and rebuilt.
And that's really that Marxist theology that has entered into all of our schools and we do need every single person to fight. That’s why we started moms for liberty, so that parents would have a louder voice so that we could get a seat at the table. And we're working very hard to get a seat at all levels of government. Our moms are working at the local level with their school boards, their town councils, their county commissions.
We're working at the state level with legislators and now we're working at the national level. And the message to Miguel Cardona and Doctor Jill Biden and Joe Biden is stop making parents the enemy.
Parents are the number one driver of student success. Schools should be rolling out the red carpet for parents. You cannot do this without us and yet you see schools continually pushing parents out and I really think Steve, it's because they are failing, and they don't want that data to be revealed. They want to focus on everything else. I call it alphabet soup, SELDIECRT. If only the kids felt safe and valued in school then maybe they'd learn, you know what schools you focus on teaching our kids to read and we'll focus on raising them and helping them to feel safe and valued.
Steve Bannon:
How do people get to your social media and how do they get to? I want to have you back on tomorrow or over the weekend about this about the US government push which you tweeted out this morning, but tell people how they get to your social media and how do they get to moms for liberty?
Tiffany Justice:
Yeah, and if you feel that I'm passionate this morning or a little angry I am. These children deserve to learn to read, so if you're angry to go to Moms for Liberty.org and sign up to join a chapter or start a chapter. You can donate to Moms for Liberty.
We have moms doing amazing work all over the country that we need to support. We're working to get school board members elected all over the country and it's so incredibly important. We need to reclaim public education in America. There are bad actors who have been in control, and we need to take our kids’ education back and give them a chance at being successful in life
Steve Bannon:
Tiffany you were dead right on the theory of the case and the action plan to turn around, thank you very much for joining us today.
Tiffany Justice:
Thank you, Sir.
