I bought a copy yesterday and plan to review it on my Substack. I hope people will buy your book right now to help fuel high sales of your important work. The implosion of the family destroys the foundations of our entire society upon which the family unit is the essential building block. I pray you get wide coverage and the huge platform your work deserves!
I admire the stamina of Cory Books in his truly marathon filibuster, but not his stances. He is doing all this to save the dept of education that has helped dumb down our kids to the point that Silicon Valley techs clearly state they need to 'brain drain' the rest of the world to advance their work? (It also states he is objecting to a wrong deportation of a man. Obviously such a wrong needs to be correct, but isn't this really about anyone being deported?) Unless one believes in Eugenics, that talent can be homegrown. But our kids are failing. I think the failure can be tied to educators adoption of the work of Paulo Freire the Brazilian educator. "Pedagogy of literacy education involves not only reading the word, but also reading the world. This involves the development of critical consciousness (a process known in Portuguese as conscientização). The formation of critical consciousness allows people to question the nature of their historical and social situation—to read their world—with the goal of acting as subjects in the creation of a democratic society (which was new for Brazil at that time). For education, Freire implies a dialogic exchange between teachers and students, where both learn, both question, both reflect and both participate in meaning-making." The result is that our kids 'know their place in the world' but cannot do math or read.
