00:00:00.000 Parents, this video is going to be a little bit disturbing, I want to tell you right up
00:00:02.820 front, but there's solutions at the end of this video on what's going on in schools and
00:00:06.340 how you as a parent should be involved.
00:00:08.560 There's six different ways people are reacting to the madness that's taking place in schools,
00:00:12.940 but I'm going to give you a solution and I'm going to give you a challenge.
00:00:15.680 What you do with it is on you, but I highly recommend you actually execute some of these
00:00:20.520 things we're talking about here.
00:00:22.000 If you get value from this video, give it a thumbs up, subscribe and share it with other
00:00:26.500 parents like yourself.
00:00:28.160 Let's get right into it.
00:00:29.000 Here's a video of an 11 year old kid who goes to the school library.
00:00:33.740 There's a book in the, I'm not even going to tell you what happens here.
00:00:36.240 Listen to what this kid sees, reads in this book to the board and watch the reaction.
00:00:41.960 I'm 11 years old and I go to Wendell Middle School.
00:00:44.920 I'm a sixth grader.
00:00:46.200 I was in the library and this book was on a stand.
00:00:50.180 I'd like to read you a page.
00:00:51.380 Sixth grader.
00:00:52.320 My back over my hips as I ask if we should take off, take our clothes off.
00:00:57.500 And he's saying yes before I finish my sentence.
00:01:00.500 He's pulling off my t-shirt laughing when I can't undo his shirt buttons.
00:01:04.560 He's undoing my belt.
00:01:05.940 I'm reaching into his bedside drawer for a condom. 0.89
00:01:09.020 We're kissing. 0.55
00:01:10.160 Again, we're rolling over.
00:01:11.540 Obviously, you can see where this is going.
00:01:13.580 I don't know if it's because we're feeling especially emotional or just tired or these
00:01:18.840 past couple of weeks have been too much.
00:01:21.180 But this reminds me so much of the first time we had sex. 0.94
00:01:24.740 We were both fucking terrified and the whole thing was kind of terrible because we didn't 0.97
00:01:29.400 know what we were doing. 0.95
00:01:31.520 But it was good too.
00:01:33.180 So good.
00:01:34.440 Because we were a mess of emotions and we were scared and excited and everything felt new.
00:01:39.820 So this sort of thing, this sort of feels like that.
00:01:43.740 Nick touches me like he's scared at any minute.
00:01:47.820 Now, this book was at my middle school and it was on a stand.
00:01:50.460 When I rented it out to show my dad it, the librarian asked if I wanted more and if I
00:01:56.060 wanted a graphic novel version.
00:01:57.500 Wow.
00:01:58.460 By the way, you're going to get the, I'm going to show you the clip of what the father does
00:02:02.320 here.
00:02:02.520 But when you watch this here as a parent, you get different reactions.
00:02:05.640 I'm having these conversations with a lot of people nowadays, whether it's, you know,
00:02:08.600 we're hitting my dinner, clients, all these different things.
00:02:11.120 They're upset.
00:02:11.920 They're angry.
00:02:12.620 They're furious.
00:02:13.240 But a lot of them feel helpless, but you're not helpless.
00:02:16.320 There's six ways people are reacting to the madness that's going on in schools.
00:02:20.100 Number one way, parents, oblivious.
00:02:22.160 They're not involved.
00:02:22.980 They don't know what's going on.
00:02:24.000 I'm too busy.
00:02:24.820 I'm trying to pay the bills.
00:02:26.000 I can't get involved.
00:02:27.020 It's too much for me.
00:02:28.100 You know, it's just public school.
00:02:29.240 I was a product of public school.
00:02:30.760 It's all going to work itself out.
00:02:31.980 The oblivious parents, do not be surprised if your kids get caught up in some of this
00:02:37.180 madness because no one's talking to them about it. 0.98
00:02:39.340 The second type of parents that are reacting to this, they bitch, they complain, they go 1.00
00:02:43.640 and talk to other friends, but they do nothing about it. 0.98
00:02:46.160 All talk, but nothing happens.
00:02:48.020 The third thing that parents are doing right now that you can also do in your school is
00:02:52.120 they're saying, this is so crazy.
00:02:54.100 They are bitching. 1.00
00:02:54.940 They are complaining, but they're taking action and they're running for school board.
00:02:58.280 Now, here's the thing about running for school board.
00:02:59.860 I want to give you some stats for you to be thinking about.
00:03:01.900 And a lot of you, I want to challenge you to think about running for school board.
00:03:05.640 Some of you are saying, man, it must be a lot of responsibility.
00:03:08.280 Me when running for school, why would I?
00:03:09.980 Would I ever get elected?
00:03:10.940 I'm not a political person.
00:03:12.120 This isn't for me.
00:03:12.840 I'm just a regular mother.
00:03:13.880 I totally get it.
00:03:14.740 Let me give you some stats.
00:03:16.000 Over 90% of things that take place in schools are impacted by school boards.
00:03:19.700 If you're a part of it, you can impact over 90% of things that happen in schools.
00:03:24.500 School boards select the superintendent.
00:03:26.820 Voter turnout, ready?
00:03:27.980 Very often, it's only between 5% to 10% of school board elections.
00:03:31.940 Meaning if you run for it, it's not like 100% of people are showing up anyways.
00:03:35.200 It's only 5% to 10%.
00:03:37.080 So if you're philosophically in a place where maybe you have more conservative beliefs and
00:03:41.420 you think the way their influence in the kids is absolutely ludicrous, you can go talk
00:03:46.320 to other mothers and other fathers and say, do you feel this way?
00:03:48.860 Did you hear about what happened?
00:03:49.820 What do you think about this?
00:03:50.720 What do you think about that?
00:03:51.580 I'm thinking about running.
00:03:52.600 Do I have your support?
00:03:53.540 Do I have your support?
00:03:54.380 And you're getting more people saying, Mary, if you run, Bobby, if you run, I would definitely
00:03:58.060 have your back.
00:03:58.620 We're also upset about this thing here.
00:04:00.020 Now you're starting to recruit other people that would be willing to vote for you because
00:04:03.740 you're concerned about the same issues.
00:04:05.280 Number four, cost less than $1,000 to run for school board.
00:04:08.880 Number five, very sellable campaign message.
00:04:11.480 Number six, over 70% of school board members say it was very easy to get elected.
00:04:17.300 It's only one or two meetings per month, not time consuming.
00:04:20.160 You do not have to disclose your political affiliation at the ballot to run.
00:04:23.780 50 million children are impacted by school board decision.
00:04:28.060 Let me say it again.
00:04:28.680 Over 50 million children are impacted by school board decisions.
00:04:33.200 That's a big number.
00:04:34.220 And last but not least, 95,000 active school board members in the US.
00:04:39.160 Why not you go run for it if you are so concerned about what's taking place?
00:04:43.680 So now we have three different reactions. 0.99
00:04:45.380 The oblivious, the ones that bitch and complain. 1.00
00:04:47.440 The next one that says, there's no way I'm going to let this happen. 0.98
00:04:49.680 I'm running for school board and I'm going to go recruit other parents and talk about
00:04:53.740 these types of issues.
00:04:54.800 Wonderful.
00:04:55.400 By the way, I want you to see what this father does here to get involved, how bold he is.
00:05:01.020 And look how he points out one of the manuals at the end and what he says.
00:05:05.120 Disturbing.
00:05:05.720 Again, I've warned you, disturbing.
00:05:07.920 But watch this bold father concerned about his son.
00:05:13.720 Oh boy.
00:05:14.680 So I'm that kid's father.
00:05:18.860 Okay, good.
00:05:19.520 I was asking for you.
00:05:20.340 Yeah, I'll take another three minutes.
00:05:22.300 So that's my son.
00:05:24.260 Okay.
00:05:24.840 11 years old and went to his library and found that by the entry door of our library.
00:05:33.620 This is the smut that he is finding.
00:05:36.460 All right. 0.98
00:05:36.940 I don't care whether it's gay, straight, bisexual, whatever the terms are for all this stuff.
00:05:44.220 Doesn't need to be at our school.
00:05:46.500 Doesn't need to be at my 11 year old's library.
00:05:49.400 And then as far as genderqueer, I've got a son in the high school as well. 0.99
00:05:54.740 And this is bullshit. 1.00
00:05:57.080 We know it. 1.00
00:05:57.840 All right. 1.00
00:05:58.580 We do not need to be having literature that's showing boys how to suck dick. 1.00
00:06:04.500 All right. 0.99
00:06:05.120 This is a very, very frustrated about it.
00:06:08.440 Okay.
00:06:08.820 And you may think that schools know the best for our children.
00:06:12.680 You know who know the best for our children?
00:06:14.420 The parents.
00:06:15.480 Are you upset?
00:06:16.580 Are you frustrated?
00:06:17.880 Are you angry?
00:06:18.740 You're getting the chills all over your body.
00:06:20.440 You're kind of sitting there saying, I cannot believe this is actually taking place.
00:06:23.640 Well, then do something about it.
00:06:25.660 Do something about it.
00:06:26.920 Half the battle of challenges that takes place is when leaders don't do anything about it.
00:06:33.500 You are just as guilty if you allow this madness to take place as the people that are allowing
00:06:38.780 that type of content to be in schools.
00:06:41.320 Because we got to wake up, me and you.
00:06:43.080 There's a risk to staying quiet.
00:06:45.760 So I'm challenging you while you're watching this to do something about it at the school board.
00:06:51.500 So three levels. 1.00
00:06:52.480 Oblivious, bitch and complain. 1.00
00:06:53.880 Go to the board. 1.00
00:06:54.620 Here's the next one.
00:06:55.220 Number four is private school.
00:06:57.080 With the right values and principles.
00:06:58.800 I'm talking to a lot of people right now that are asking about private schools.
00:07:01.560 You can go on niche.com.
00:07:03.300 You can look at all the schools.
00:07:04.960 Find out affiliation.
00:07:06.460 You know, spiritual.
00:07:07.640 You know, Catholic.
00:07:08.600 Christian.
00:07:09.060 Whatever it may be.
00:07:09.840 All over the place.
00:07:10.780 And you can interview.
00:07:11.900 While you're interviewing these private schools and you're talking to them.
00:07:14.620 Ask them what values and principles they stand for.
00:07:17.160 These are things you ought to be asking about.
00:07:19.080 Right?
00:07:19.260 So you may say, Pat, I can't afford to pull my kids in private school.
00:07:22.200 Totally get it.
00:07:22.900 Either find a way to make extra money.
00:07:24.600 Or number five, homeschool them.
00:07:26.180 Oh, there's no way I can homeschool my kids.
00:07:28.420 I just cannot homeschool my kids.
00:07:30.260 No problem.
00:07:30.920 Then last but not least, if you can't do any of those things.
00:07:33.940 And you're watching this saying, I still have to stay in public school because I can't afford it.
00:07:37.740 Find a state and a district where it matches your values and principles and research the best public schools that have certain values and principles that match yours and move there.
00:07:50.680 Yes, move there.
00:07:52.140 It's not supposed to be easy, but move.
00:07:54.020 I hear a lot of people that say things like, what do you mean move there?
00:07:56.520 I don't have any money to move.
00:07:57.900 You think immigrants had money when they moved to America? 1.00
00:08:00.740 How much money do you think we came to America with?
00:08:03.140 What do you think my dad did when we came here?
00:08:05.080 He was a cashier at a 99 cent store.
00:08:06.660 So what's the alternative?
00:08:07.940 Staying in Iran? 0.92
00:08:09.040 Can you imagine?
00:08:10.140 Yeah, let's keep our kids in Iran. 1.00
00:08:11.720 You know, when the Khomeini died, it was a mess in Iran. 1.00
00:08:14.120 My mom and dad are like, we're getting the hell out of here.
00:08:16.060 Thank God they did.
00:08:17.060 We lived at a refugee camp for a year and a half before we made to the States.
00:08:19.880 And then we came here with nothing.
00:08:21.920 Literally, we had nothing when we came out here.
00:08:23.780 So it's not as big of a deal to move from one state to another as it is to move from a country.
00:08:29.420 You speak a whole different language to a new country.
00:08:32.140 You're going to move from California, Florida.
00:08:33.800 You still speak English.
00:08:34.720 You're going to move from Chicago to Texas.
00:08:36.760 You still speak English.
00:08:37.840 You're going to move from New York to Tennessee.
00:08:39.740 You still speak English.
00:08:40.840 But go do the research because, you know, we're doing a live podcast.
00:08:45.060 Afterwards, when the cigar lunch, we're having a conversation.
00:08:47.040 This one lady is sitting next to me and she's, I said, how many kids you got? 1.00
00:08:49.520 She says, I got one kid.
00:08:50.720 I said, you got one kid and you're a value 10er?
00:08:52.160 She says, yes.
00:08:52.860 I said, how can you be a value 10er and only have one kid?
00:08:54.560 You know, I'm always challenging people that have more than one kid, two, three, four,
00:08:57.520 five kids.
00:08:58.100 If you have the resources, you have the money, you want to have more than one kid.
00:09:00.500 Anyways, we're having a nice fun conversation together.
00:09:02.640 But the guy next to her is a single guy, 35, making a lot of money.
00:09:06.100 And he said, man, I don't want to get married because of this, because I said, so what are
00:09:09.080 you going to do?
00:09:09.420 You're going to stay single the rest of your life?
00:09:10.600 Yeah.
00:09:10.940 What the hell's the point of staying single the rest of your life?
00:09:13.140 Tell me what's exciting about that.
00:09:14.320 What is the point of life?
00:09:15.100 Well, I'm making money.
00:09:15.820 I'm there.
00:09:16.020 So how many do you need to be like?
00:09:17.100 What do you think the goal of life is?
00:09:18.540 Yeah.
00:09:18.660 The relationship and the experience of how much God has blessed me with these four gifts,
00:09:26.380 it's the four most amazing gifts the man upstairs has given this regular guy.
00:09:30.880 Okay.
00:09:31.160 You and I, if we're lucky enough to have kids, it's our responsibility to lead them.
00:09:35.520 It's your responsibility to lead them.
00:09:37.340 It's not easy.
00:09:38.160 If we don't, bullying comes in many different shapes and forms.
00:09:41.320 And a lot of kids in America today are being bullied and you and I need to stand up and lead.
00:09:46.040 Those are six reactions.
00:09:47.160 Those, aside from the first one, which they do nothing about it, all the other ones,
00:09:50.900 let's move, let's lead, let's do something about it.
00:09:53.860 Let's get louder in boardrooms so our kids will be protected. 1.00
