    Script:
    If every high school principal gave the following speech, America would be a much better place.
    To the students and faculty of our high school:
    I am your new principal, and honored to be so. There is no greater calling than to teach young people. I would like to apprise you of some important changes coming to our school.
    First, this school will no longer honor race or ethnicity. I could not care less if you are black, brown, red, yellow or white. I could not care less if your origins are African, European, Latin American or Asian, or if your ancestors arrived here on the Mayflower or on slave ships.
    The only identity this school will recognize is your individual identity-your character, your scholarship, your humanity. And the only national identity this school will recognize is American. This is an American public school, and American public schools were created to make better Americans.
    If you wish to affirm here an ethnic or racial identity-or a national identity other than American -you will have to attend another school. This includes after-school clubs. I will not authorize clubs that divide students based on identities such as race, ethnicity, sexual orientation or whatever else may become in vogue in our society. Those clubs cultivate narcissism-an unhealthy preoccupation with the self-while the purpose of education is to get you to think beyond yourself.
    This school’s clubs will be based on interests and passions-clubs that transport you to the wonders and glories of art, music, astronomy, languages you do not already speak, and more. If the only extracurricular activities you can imagine being interested in are those based on ethnicity, race or sexual identity, that means that little outside of yourself really interests you.
    Second, I do not care whether English is your native language. My only interest in terms of language is that you leave this school speaking and writing English as fluently as possible. The English language has united America’s citizens for over 200 years, and it will unite us at this school. Furthermore, I would be remiss in my duty to ensure that you will be prepared to successfully compete in the job market, if you leave this school without excellent English-language skills. We will learn other languages here-it’s deplorable that most Americans only speak English-but if you want classes taught in your native language rather than in English, this is not the right school for you.
    Third, because I regard learning as a sacred endeavor, everything in this school will reflect learning’s elevated status. This means, among other things, that you and your teachers will dress accordingly. There will be a dress code at this school.
    And you will address all teachers by their title, not by their first name. They are your teachers, not your pals.

      He also used "tobacco" so in effect he was saying, quit trying to talk about this as if there is a controversy, there isn't. The molecular composition of the atmosphere affects temperature, and it's not constant. Denying that it changes is like saying that mars has the same atmosphere as Earth. It's profoundly stupid to deny climate change, both in terms of modern observation and historical considerations. So while you might still learn about how the atmosphere is a major factor in climate regulation on Earth in a science class, there will not be a political discussion about whether or not the atmosphere can vary in its PPM of carbon dioxide, or whether or not light when filtered through carbon dioxide transfers energy differently than the filtration of other substances. You better have some astounding evidence to make a fantastical claim like every atmosphere filters radiation exactly the same. Or that tobacco is harmless.

      @Jack, it's been my experience that the most grateful, appreciative, and finest patriotic Americans are first generation legal immigrants like yourself. I am so thankful for people like you and I agree with your statement wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, just as President's JFK ,Trump ,and Reagan warned us repeatedly ,our country has been infiltrated. Communists and globalists have been strategically placed in every facet and area of society to destroy America from within. Probably the worst besides perhaps media and politics is the school boards and education. Kids are being taught that their feelings and emoticons supercede morals and values. Revisiting old speeches, many before my time, has been extremely enlightening. I'm also very grateful that I had a much older father who taught me a great appreciation for this Republic. We've created several generations of narcissistic people who literally believe that character, right, and wrong are completely relative according to" their truth." smh

    There was a school that I taught science in, for students who had struggled academically that did many of these things. 84 percent graduated with a High School Diploma and a trade. Students who did not follow these school norms were moved back to their original school and a place was opened for a new student. All new students and adults in their lives signed a paper in agreement with this.
    I loved working there and we found interesting ways to motivate the students. When a student discovered that they were able to learn, it opened them to learning and growth that they had never dreamed of. That moment always brought a lot of smiles.

    Change #6 is ironic. I grew up in a small town in Ohio. My teachers never talked about sexism or racism. Instead they rambled on and on about how Jesus was the answer. Somehow they insisted the government had "taken God out of the classroom" and Christians were oppressed victims, while preaching this stuff during class time in a public school. I heard endless pro-war rants from military recruiters and veterans brought in as experts to social studies classes. My video production teacher senior year actually turned on FOX & Friends every morning so we got to listen to it as we did our work. I was called to the principal when I spoke against the 2003 invasion of Iraq, because my opinions were "disrespectful to military families." He told me I should just keep my mouth shut and support the troops. In health class we got shown anti-abortion propaganda photos supplied by a local church. My health teacher also informed us that "Hitler was a Communist," and that Canada had free healthcare because it was "Commonwealth System" where they "hold the wealth in common." My sixth grade teacher informed us that the "big bang theory" was about an asteroid killing the dinosaurs, because it had made a "big bang" when it hit the earth.... Left-wing bias wasn't exactly the problem.

Also, the "teen pregnancy is up because of lack of punishment and not being taught by parents" argument doesn't go well with statistics and only works as a terrible emotional appeal

      Jonathan Johnson Are you refering to pagan nations right? Sexual behavior always was restrained in Judaism and Christianism. Even if they did not respect all the laws of religion and engaged in a series of ilicit sexual activities, the standar rule of society was clear: sex should be before marriage. And its not a coincidence that the most prosperous countries of this world were built under such moral values.
      The problem with early sexual behavior is not pregnancy. Is morality. The schools can teach teenage girls to not get pregnant, but they can't teach them that the more sex they have, the less they value in the eyes of men, as men respect purity and condemn lust. The fact that there are so much bad adjectives to condemn female imprudent sexual behavior is not a coincidence. The more sex a boy make, the lower the chances for him to commit with a single woman, which will result in difficulties in marital life. He will not be loyal.
      Of course there are exceptions, but it's not a coincidence that divorce became so common in our society.
      The point is: How much important you think marriage is? Are your education your children to stay married or to divorce?

It would be great if all workplaces and propaganda (not real facts) news media companies would also incorporate such speeches. While on the other side - our laws allow workplaces to work as they see fit. That's why as an adult, we have to be mindful, that is discerning and respectful of where we chose to work. Since it is up to them, it may be better to go work someplace else.

      Yes but its not just the speech but also how they would run the school and dictate things to the teachers and staff. So the students don't have to care because the changes would happen regardless. Or at least whatever changes were within the principal's power to make. But yeah saying "GIVE THIS SPEECH PRINCIPALS" and it ends there. But I think the larger goal is to say give this speech but then also enforce it and he thinks it'll improve America. And I would say depending on your definition of improve it certainly would. It would make people more cookie cutter and less divided and also more suited for blindly going into the work force. In pure productivity I'm sure the country would improve. If were all actually mind controlled it would also definitely improve productivity towards the country itself's goals. So looking at purely a work force and good behavior point of you I'm sure the American country would be better. But also lacking in many other areas that are kind of important to the individual.

      Asura-san - if you are in a school where you are not able to conform to the culture, there are many other choices: Montessori Schools are focused on project-oriented learning and are great for students like myself who need to actively use (kinesthetic) what is being taught in order to understand. Public schools are designed almost primarily for Audio and/or Visual learners. Since those are the highest number of learner-types it makes sense. Private schools have the capability for one-on-one teaching if necessary, and homeschooling, even if it's a mom/dad on the block teaching 5 kids - if it is necessary for a student who is easily distracted in the public school classroom setting. What this comes down to from the teacher stand point (I am one) is that parents are responsible for the placing their student in the best school they can in order to give their child the best start in life - the public school does not have the right to do this. This concept is called "School Choice"; the parents have the right to send their student to another school and the funding will follow that student to their new school. There are a lot of school choices other than public school -12 other types in fact
      You can find those listed here with good explanations. www.rasmussen.edu/degrees/education/blog/types-of-schools/
      Additionally, if you are multilingual there is also boarding schools, or living with family in a target language country. That's the great thing in America - one size does not fit all.
      What Mr. Prager stated in his speech is that academics and the individual (WHO you are, not what you are) will come before everything else - race, religion, politics, gender, etc. Rather than focus on keeping a student in a state of subjugation through ignorance of the outside world, the education received will allow you to argue your thoughts and opinions while others actually listen. There are 148 fallacies currently and more are added every year - the second an educated person hears a fallacy (meaning an argument that is not actually an argument: examples: Ad Hominem (Attack the person, not the topic), F-bomb (intimidate them with the f-word until they stop talking), Political Correctness (Change the name, but not address the issue, i.e.: changing the name of Pet to Animal Companion, rather than pass laws to stop animal cruelty), etc. - THEY STOP LISTENING. Because you are no longer another educated person with a valuable opinion.
      You can find them here. utminers.utep.edu/omwilliamson/ENGL1311/fallacies.htm Freshman level course meaning this is taught just after High School.

In Swedish for example they could teach you that “allemansrätten” means “every man’s right,” but that does you little good unless you know what that is in Sweden. You could learn that “新幹線” means “bullet train line,” but that similarly does you little good if you know nothing about the bullet train system in Japan. You absolutely can not learn a language without also learning about the culture of the people who hold it, since you won’t know about the things that they talk about.

    I tell you now as a 2019 graduate, this principals policies would not matter in the slightest to my school's students. Im not sure how it is for the rest of you, but our teachers were our "pals." They maintained their roles in the classroom, and we all graduated because of them. But they werent all so up tight. You could have a laugh with them, and call them by their first name. One of my teachers, who I was very fond of was very social with the class. She never cared how we addressed her, she was like a friend.
    What this guy wants is just to much. I agree some kids, need to mature, and become young adults, starting with not playing the victim card like he mentioned. School wasnt perfect, there were plenty who did that. But still, high school is very important. Its important to get your credits, and leave, AND have 4 final years of fun with people you known your whole life. But this guy wants principals to just walk in the building like the start of some dictatorship.
    Now regarding the pledge of allegiance bit at the end....this is a touchy subject, but even as patriotic as I like to think I am, no one should be FORCED to say the pledge. Forcing someone to say it, is a violation of free speech. Forcing someone to say it, let alone our youth, sounds like a dictatorship. Dont get my words twisted, I'm not one of those ungrateful brats who curse Americas name, I'm just saying, forcing is not freedom.

Even if you may not agree with my point, how hard it to not swear? Seems pretty easy for me.

      ganthore That's one way of attacking a straw man. Two parties must voluntarily agree to a set of terms and conditions that are mutually beneficial within a free market, in your example the 'workplace' picture you painted most likely has a strict language code therefore in this capacity, the individual's acceptance of the terms to abide the rules and regulations of the org alters his/her freedom to use profanity in his 'free-time' (which you referred to as lunch breaks or anytime he/she is representing the org ) invalid.
      What I am essentially saying is that labeling words as simplistic as 'good/bad' is in itself misinformation. Because worlds in an of themselves are innocent, it's the context which substantiates them. -- ( That doesn't mean I advocate for students to start blurting out obscenities like a spastic whenever they get the opportunity.)
      --- They voluntarily agreed terms set by the school thus must abide by the rules and regulations of the institution-- however they should be able to express themselves in anyway they want within their 'free-time' (as defined within this instance as outside the institution ).

    • @ganthore

      ***** It is not a straw man. You said during "free time" at an institute. That must mean lunch time at a place of business because no one is saying you can't use profanity at your own personal home or in your personal car or by yourself out in the courtyard where no one can hear you.
      Words may not be inherently good or evil, however SOCIETY gives weight to words. In a workplace it is not appropriate to begin swearing (even in a joking nature) with your fellow co-workers while in the presence of your boss / customers. It is also not professional behavior at a place of business.
      Schools are here to prepare you for a life in which you contribute to society in one way or another (aka work / job / etc). Unless you are the owner of your own tattoo parlor.... most businesses do not accept profanity.
      Are you denying this? Are you trying to imply it is not unprofessional to swear in front of customers while you are in a professional environment? If you were a teacher at a school would you condone students calling each other bitches?

The result of this excessive achievement was....I wanted to kill myself all the time and has little to no self esteem. If the only way self esteem can be attained is by earning it, A) what exactly was I supposed to do to earn it, and B ) what are you going to suggest to the thousands of students experiencing the same thing? To work even HARDER? Because there's no other way to attain it?
    Maybe if there was genuine concern for the psychological state of the students and a willingness to medicate clinical depression, I'd be on board with this.

    This is the thinking of a man who clearly has no recollection of what it's like to be a teenager and no empathy or understanding for what it is to be different in an American school. Not only are there an inordinate amount of non-americans in American schools, but we have clubs like "Spanish" and "French" club that celebrate individual cultures but are there for ANYONE to join and broaden their horizons. Under his school this would not be allowed. Not providing sex ed is PROVEN to make an increase in unwanted teen pregnancies and STD's and Global Warming is only politics because people want it to be. Just like any other highly accepted theory, it's backed by a lot of evidence. The same could happen with the theory of gravity if two opposing sides decided they had different views on it. It's ridiculous to treat it as anything but a theory, but it should be taught because the proof is almost irrefutable.

      @@lifewhyz I hate to break it to you, but identity clubs aren't what create cliques. Wanting to learn more about yourself and people like you isn't evil or excluding anyone (because in most high schools identity clubs are open to everyone), it's just giving people a place to explore themselves and their interests which is essential to a lot of people's development. This also gives students who aren't academically or artistically inclined a club to belong to which fills the gap between students who do and don't have extracurriculars. Maybe a student can't do art or play an instrument and maybe their grades lack a bit to belong to beta or the NHS (because straight A's aren't everyone's reality) can participate and belong somewhere. I would even go so far that it's exclusionary not to have these clubs. The only restriction should be that everyone is allowed.

    As a New Zealander, aside from the Americanisms, this would be a great throwback to my time at school in the 70's where the three R's were the ruling principle in Primary/Elementary & High School's!
    The three R's being reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic's!

      Valuing individuality and enforcing a strict, uniformed (I know Dennis didn't say uniformed, but it's what most schools like the one he wants do) dress code is a complete contradiction. That, and having everyone rise and recite the indoctrinating, establishment clause violating pledge as one.

      How would you define objective education? Last I checked the schools were pushing atheism, transgenderism, leftism, and socialism on our children. Doesn’t sound like objective education to me.

      @@Jonspang90 I'm sorry you believe everything Dennis Prager says. Being someone who has been to school less than 50 years ago, I have never seen or experienced anyone trying to make me a socialist, atheist or anything else. This kind of indoctrination you think is happening in public schools only happens in the church.

      I am really afraid that the USA essentially wants to forget about their European heritage.
      Most of the European Americans don´t know much about their home countries nor their cultures.
      So what are you teaching your childrend, hunting buffalos? He literally says anyone not being native american has to forget about his ancestors.

      We teach real history, and be honest about it, nor do we linger on the racism/sexism, and act as if it is the same huge problem as it was yesterday, because it isn't... People keep bringing this crap up, because there are a lot of people who make money off keeping this stupidity going, and people who want to keep it going, to cause division hate, and chaos. I'm sick of hearing about "race", gender, and sexuality, and people who focus on these useless things, or play the games of identity politics, are pathetic human beings.
