Your call to action – it’s time to talk about being American.
We can’t talk about reform without looking at ourselves and what it means to be American. Our country was founded on a few basic principles. Being American means to be free and to have opportunity. You have a choice and the ability to do what is right for you and for the next generation of Americans.
In the meantime, our government will iron out a plan where if you’re already here a course of action to become an American citizen like serving in the US military for a period of four years or becoming part of the border patrol to protect our boundaries. It is absolutely idiotic and unimaginable for any country not to have secured borders and we need to do it immediately.
If knowledge is power, we need to talk about the education system. Children need to be taught and given the tools to be successful. Tools like American Civics and life lessons should be taught from kindergarten to high school. Today’s common core education lessons need to go. All it does is create confusion. The children do not understand it and parents do not understand it either. Have you seen how they do math these days? It does not make any logical sense and it does not give children a clear understanding. The whole purpose of education is to give people the tools. Teach them how to apply the tools to life and to effectively communicate. It should be a requirement for anybody that’s in our country legally to illegally to learn English. Learn English, that doesn’t mean you can’t learn and speak other languages but in order for Americans to be able to come together we need to have a common way to communicate without more confusion or things lost in translation.
