“Blame secular humanism, blame feminism; whatever the cause, if we want to see our nation return to its Christian heritage, we need to address how we educate our future citizens….”
(Amy Simmons – TruthScript) Working in the Texas public school system for nearly two decades, I’ve seen multiple political administrations implement policies that have significantly shaped how schools operate. I witnessed the acceleration of high-stakes testing due to George W. Bush administration’s No Child Left Behind Act, which tied federal school funding to student performance. I saw the intensification of data-driven instruction during the Obama-era, necessitating digital tracking tools that educational technology companies were happy to provide.
I’m currently witnessing how the proliferation of “EdTech,” coupled with progressive ideology, has produced shallow thinking and moral bankruptcy. Across the nation, public schools bought into the myth that adaptive learning platforms would produce student gains they sorely needed, only to see student performance continue to decline. At the same time, the Trump-era education initiatives to crack down on DEI and woke ideology have failed to curb the leftist indoctrination that marked the Obama/Biden years.
