Only in this case, riches and stardom replaced the whip to maintain discipline and compliance. I reject the “you’ll be happy and own nothing” mantra of the globalists as “slavery 2.0”.

Much like the police, quality teachers need higher compensation and better training. The course curriculum that I sponsor will highlight the evidence of our American Exceptionalism, as well as taking ownership of the full weight of our shared history. And that history is made every day, so by ending our current submission to moral hazards of all kinds and restoring our national honor in all things, the education of our youth will be restored, just as good fruits come from healthy soil.
