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.

Yeah global warming is totally a political opinion, not an observable fact.
Lmao exactly
It's been hijacked by the left to brow beat people into submission to accept collectivist mentality.
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.
lol just discovered this channel! the comment section is absolute cringe ;) why does everybody insult each other i dont get it
politics 'and' global warming dont belong in the schools wether theyre separete issue or not is irrelevant to the fact we dont want them in our schools
You will address your teachers by the n-word
The imagery is strong here boys
I love this.
They do in Detroit!
And people would want to live in Detroit because ......?
I know were this comes from and i thought this when he said that to🤣
“No obscene language will be tolerated anywhere on this school’s property”
May the odds be ever in your favor, Dennis
The colorblind conservatism here is why whites are being made a minority.
Equality is THE social construct. Not white people. Equality breeds the perceived anti-white Need for DIEversity. We all know that diversity is only achieved when there are NO MORE WHITE CHILDREN LEFT.
Anti-racism is a code-word for anti-White.

As an immigrant to this country I am dismayed at the lack of appreciation young people have for the fortuitousness of having the privilege to live in this country and the opportunity that it affords anyone who seeks it out.
Right Jack, those that don't agree with the way this country used to be, before Brandon, need to be shown what it's like to live in a leftist utopian world for just 48 hours, or just listen to someone that left a socialist country to come here where FREEDOM rings.
@@jumpercable20 leftist Utopia? You must be talking about Detroit.
@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
Blessings!
@@lowcountrygirl7779, you've identified some problems that are deserving of a serious national debate. However, many of your readers on this website are going to instinctively ignore your post before they finish reading it. Let me tell you why. In your fourth sentence, you used the word "placed". Your claim that communists have been "strategically placed" here is stated as fact. That one phrase is a virtual invitation to have yourself dismissed as a paranoid amateur. "Smh" implies that you've given up out of frustration. Let's replace "smh" with a viable solution.
Yeah. Generation after Generation I see that mentality gets worse. It's not the first time, or the last.
wait so we're not calling our teachers the n-word?
Nope lol
Damn I wanted that
Sadly not
What's the joke? I missed out on it. I see a few ppl jokingly asking the same question.
@@cryptoforeveryone2689 uhhh lol there's a ytp of this video where it's edited to say that! i can't remember what its called but if you type in prager u ytp it's gonna be one of the first results!
It's so weird watching the original video.
I am now reorienting this school away from academics, and towards unjust suffering. In this school, self esteem will be obtained in one way... Racism.
You will address your teachers by...the n word
@@j_kraut751 I remember that
Memorable
He’s racist
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.
"There will be no politics or propaganda"
Lists global warming as propaganda
Wut
Well, it's something that can turn political quickly because of people looking for solutions to it, but it still isn't good to silence discourse of any kind
@Sonic Phil and yet somehow, the only people that want to spend government funds on it are Democrats
@Sonic Phil ah, yes, because money is just going to magically make climate change disappear
@Cringe Lord the past troll who hates trolls please inform me as to how you think money is going to solve climate change.
@Cringe Lord the past troll who hates trolls that’s not solving the problem, that’s slapping a bandaid on it and kissing it to make it better. But that’s not the point. The point is that the U.S government is using the idea of global warming as leverage to get votes and money, the latter being used to fund things that might not benefit organizations that research and/or try to fix climate change.
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.
Your teachers’ explicit lack of qualification for their jobs would be hilarious if it weren’t so disturbing.

I agree with most of this but I still think it's important to teach kids sex Ed.
The problem is that schools miseducate kids.
The problem is that sex ed is expensive for tax payers and all 15 year old girls learn from it is get pregnant anyway.
Look at americas pregnant out of wedlock charts. And this is from girls who go to school and study sex ed!
Sex ed was so stupid at my high school. We didn't even talk about safe sex. We just talked about how it was okay to be abstinent and stuff like that. I live in a democrat run state; I thought they would've loved to tell us about safe sex, or sex in general. We learned absolutely nothing about safe sex. I think I learned more from my earth science class. (geology is a fricking joke)
Rivershield When a practice that's been forced on teenagers for thousands of years suddenly becomes a thing only adults should do. 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
www.guttmacher.org/sites/default/files/graphics/HeadingDown(Graph)-rev.png
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?
This Speech ALSO needs to be
DONE in Universities,
Work Places, the Press Companies, Media Companies,
and to Politicians..
So no bringing up politics in political buildings? Gotcha
@@someguy8053 would be great
Yes, however, in this country - it should be done in all public TAX-paid entities. Likewise, the laws of this country state that companies can be run the way the owners deem necessary. 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.
Let´s say I am the son of the German Ambassador in the US, I cannot say I am German then?
American is not a national identity, there are many different countries on America, e.g. Canada, the US, Mexico, Chile, Honduras.
Well said Sir.
I am Canadian by birth, but I am 50% American, thanks to my wonderful mother. I have lived my entire 70 years in Canada, but I rise and sing both national anthems, and have always been proud of my American heritage. But….in the last 10-12 years, particularly the last 2 years…..I have been completely discussed by the deplorable decline of the American society, particularly the education system. I watch some of these CZcams videos where random people are asked “basic” questions about…… math, science, geography, grammar, etc…..and they are completely unable to answer a single question. I’m Canadian, and I can answer all of them. What kind of education system “graduates“ people who are totally illiterate and useless???
Of course the answer is, a system that is bent on the destruction of America and the ruin of the greatest democracy the world ever produced. Shame, shame, shame
Well said ! Peace
Love what this gentleman had to say.
Thank you!
"i have been completely disgusted by the deplorable decline....." (Correction, to your writing.)
@@vickryan ….thanks. Spell Check is a wonderful thing……sometimes😜
Teacher Union happen in America! Teachers are not nice people anymore they don’t have the dignify honorable job love the kids , TEACHERS become Monster, hate children, they want destroy your children, they try to come between you and your children , just like Communist country, they don’t teach ,they DOCTORATE , they are few decent teacher , that goes for the University too.
Do we have to say "I'm Dennis Prager" at the end or is that optional?
It's optional
Thomas O buhaha
optional is not an option, there is only holy and obscene.
NO, we all have to say... "I'm Negan"
Thomas O
Only if you identify as him.
Even if the principle gave this speech. You're probrobly unaware that no student cares about the principle, nor what they have to say. They rarely interact with students and are rarely seen. The teachers have a much greater impact on the students.
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.
@@Pragabond Such as what other areas? You think your freedom to put a crucifix in a pail and pee on it and call it art is worthwhile? It's not.
Not sure what crap school you went to where the Principal didn't interact with students or know many if not most by name.
@@Pragabond what? i really have to enforce this. shit damn thats what i did wrong, i held this peech 1 year ago and asked myself up till today why my school hasn't gotten better, but now i knoiw my mistake.
big thanks to you
Bearie roblox everyone loves our principle. Then again, he would never say any of this
If only the public schools were like this. I just requested my 12 year old daughter to be opted out of a survey by the school.. the first question in the survey was - what is your ethnicity? The second question was - what is your sexual orientation?
The schools have become sick. I immigrated to this great country but am becoming increasing pessimist about this country's future.
I'm sorry, how is an objective census "sickening"?
Not a very great great country anymore is it?
Sill tho, the survey is fine
Ah yes, because simple questions used to find trends in different populations that may be used to create statistics and aid our understanding of society is truly a sickening thing.
Sooo it is a school that focuses on one's individual identity through character and humanity, but at the SAME time everyone is forced to wear uniforms, reflecting on your identity is considered "narcisstic" and programs that help with self-esteem are ended. And only one person is to be allowed successful and thus having any self-esteem. Beyond that he wants to turn it away from "politics", but forces everyone to take that pledge everyday. Yes, that makes total sense.
This video makes it pretty clear he wants everyone two graduates from his school to be identical drones
The thing is he only want's your induvidual caracter to focus on so he can remove it. There are probably better words that remove but I am not English and google transtate said remove.
and also this whole channel is a political bias smh
You are a child. Wearing a uniform keeps you from indulging in narcissism through flaunting your clothes. The pledge of allegiance is apolitical for Americans. And yes the valedictorian is the most successful. Its called competition and real life. Participation trophies are silly and degrading to all who put forth effort.

As a legal immigrant 30 years ago, this makes me cry. This is exactly what aspired me to come to this country, be a great citizen and contribute to society. This is exactly the kind of school I attended, graduated and have a successful career with passion.
That’s the high school I graduated from in 1990. What has really happened to our school system? Oh that’s right, we so desperately focusing on how not to offend someone or some group.
You're 51.
and yet, you sound offended... interesting
such a snowflake, offended by any small amount of change
Mr. Prager, you have forgotten possibly the single most important class ALL schools SHOULD be teaching - a monetary/ economic class.
Joshua W Money isn’t the only thing in life
Every school should teach Economics, Finance, and real U.S. and World History and not the biased moral opinions class they teach this days and that they call History.
@Webis Tebis Agreed
Cesar E I am lucky enough to have my school have mandatory classes devoted to those things.
Economics was required at my high school. Albiet not until senior year.
"Every high school principal should say this"
"If you don't like it, go to another school"
But every school will say that!!
Get homeschooled
@@Kaiser-jo3uj Your parents tell you to go to another school
Not all schools are American High Schools. Students can move to Canada, The U.K, France, Spain, and Luxembourg.
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.
Exactly.

...I see a problem here.
It's not the problem in school, there is problem in you. You don't want this school, change it if you can find a better one, since they all are the same, stay here and change for better.
Civota, you don't understand. He openly says this would make America a better place if all schools used this speech (which implies that he thinks all schools should be like this), and yet in the speech he says that if you don't like it, find another school (which implies that not all schools should be like this). There is a contradiction.
We both understand what's going on, let's not argue about this unimportant topic ever again...
He's saying this should be said in every PUBLIC school. Therefore finding another school to fit your beliefs is finding a private school for you.
He does specifically state at a later point, however, that this applies to AMERICAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Although, I have to agree. If you are not going to a school to learn, you should not be there.
could you imagine the backlash if a principal actually said something even remotely similar to this
he would probably be fired that day
Mulberryman Yep! Because hating America, English and successful students is now an anathema to most educators.
Good
Oh brother 🙄
This is how school used to be...not really all that long ago, and it was much, much better than it is today.
I wouldn't send my children to any public school.
Dumbo Octopus Nearly every business/workplace have a dress code. Children should be getting used to this from an early age. Some very successful countries have standard school dress-codes or uniforms (e.g. U.K.), and some of the top private schools in America also require students to wear a uniform. 90% of high school students in America dress horribly! I don't really know what they wear now, but when I was in high school, most of my classmates had their pants below their hips (what a great way to "express your individuality").
@74hawksfan Preach it! Preach it!!
I don’t see the point of having language clubs when clubs based around foreign peoples are banned. 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.
If I was working as a teacher in this school and my principal gave this speech, I'd be looking for a new job that afternoon
Lol that’s assuming if you could even be one here. Get some brain cells idiot. You need them
so....you are for calling people the n word and girls the b word?
yes i would be glad you would attend a diff school
Good for you. They would not want you either.
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.
Teens always have that rebellious fire in them. If this announcement was made in my school, everyone would laugh.

1. If you affirm a ethnic or racial identify to will have to leave. --- The government should not tell people how they should identify themselves, note that I am all for the beginning of that statement, we should't specially recognize peoples unique identity, but that is alot different then banning them.

All common sense and sorely needed in public education. Thank you, Dennis Prager!
At 4:50 when he said Global Warming was political propaganda and not academic (scientific), I borderline shat myself with anger.
A big part of it is propaganda. :)
I guess the political propaganda has worked on you then.
Your mom is so hot she created the global warming.
This is for high school remember, so anything taught will be the the politics of it because the science is university level.
lol what? Disagreement = Triggered
Nothing says "I'm reorientatating this school away from politics and propaganda" as much as telling children to blindly pledge allegiance to a flag...
Yes... but then people are also forced to pay ISIS taxes and they provide schools to some people. Does that mean their students should pledge allegiance to them?
However, that's still beside the point: the real issue here is: are you saying a government can't use propaganda against its own citizens just because they pay taxes? You must have a very warped idea of propaganda unless I misunderstand you.
I've got nothing against loving and respecting the country you were born in or live in but I am questioning the premise of honouring it without thought. For the record, the vast majority of countries (including Canada, Australia, most of Europe, New Zealand and many more) don't have a pledge of allegiance. In fact, in many countries (including mine), it would be seen as downright fascist or dictatorial to impose such a thing.
You're second generation from illegal immigrants, aren't you?
You haven't the slightest clue to what the pledge of allegiance says do you? If you do know, why are you pretending otherwise with your statement?
Yes I am. My parents drove across the Mexican border in an Islamic abortion truck driven by a gay transgender Jew working for Hillary Clinton.

But you must understand that schools are meant to make a professional individual out you, and once you graduate a school, you should learn to coup with the real world, as some jobs may require the same code of conduct when it comes to obscene language.

God forbid your students have a close relationship with their teachers, which would create a fun learning environment where people feel accepted.
Exactly. All my best teachers are also my pals, because it promotes a more enjoyable (and thus more memorable) environment. I've had teachers who are just teachers, and they can get their message across for sure, but they can't do it in a way that will be remembered three months later. What I've learned from my teachers who are my friends will last forever.
Teachers don't want relationships, they want tenure and pensions.
Every word you have typed is more than truth. I feel that not only do teachers who become your pals help you keep what you have just learned for more then the class, yet help you think more outside the box, feel better about yourself, and even help you take more of a interest tword that particular area then if some normal "teacher" tells it to you.

I agree with 95% of this video except the censoring of language within the free-time of the student. I go by the george carlin philosophy where words are innocent in an of themselves, it's the context which substantiates them.
Other than that, I def agree, get rid of this cultural marxist nonsense and focus on intellectual diversity.
Freedom of Speech is there to protect students from government repression. I agree with that. However in the private workforce (what school's are preparing students for)... most employers will not tolerate you walking around swearing all the time, and freedom of speech does not protect you in a private business (aka being fired for it).
ganthore Absolutely, which is why I stated 'free-time'.
***** So on your lunch break in a workplace you can just start loudly using profanity? I never knew that... crazy. I would try it on my next lunch break.... but I want to keep my job.
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 ).
***** 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?
I'm so glad I'm Canadian, and not American, this school sounds horrible

All pretty good, but no sex education? How can you teach basic biology without teaching about how people reproduce and how that effects our own behavior?
Paul Pikowsky sex Ed and biology are completely different, biology is science, sex Ed is not
Not true. The whole basis of any sex education is teaching about sexual reproduction which is common throughout the mammalian world -- biology. And it explains what the human genitalia are, how they work and the role they play in sexual reproduction -- more biology. It also must explain the human sexual response and the role it plays in sexual reproduction and the various behaviors around it -- more biology. Sex education is most certainly science, the "birds and the bees".
Paul Pikowsky he never said don't teach sex education
Sex education in America is near pointless with the internet's existence. Not to mention some of the stuff they teach is outdated.
Sex Ed is a part of biology. BIo: Life Ology: The study of. The study of life. Reproduction has to do with life. As a matter of fact I'm in biology right now, and we were learning about meiosis and that has to do with reproduction. What difference does it make that genetalia isn't science? Because it is science, and it can certainly be applied to biology

I think teachers can be both teacher and pal, but it makes sense to have to call them by title/last name during school hours at least, even if the teacher is ok with otherwise out of respect.
the relationship between student and teacher should always remain professional. they can be your "friend" when the semesters over.
I have a half serious half sarcastic question for Mr. Prager.
I took advanced classes through middle school and part of high school. I maintained a very high GPA for most of that time. 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. Because some of those programs DO go too far. (Participation trophies) But without acknowledging mental disorders, I cant really support that part of the program.
Exactly, Dennis doesn’t seem to grasp that mental health problems can cripple a student’s abilities, making a strict environment with high expectations even more mentally destructive than it already is.
Completely agree
Just thrive on the black pit in your heart like the rest of us do. /s
I didn't achieve anything in school and was going to kill myself in 2012. I ended up just going to the alternative school due to it just so I can finish high school.
@@macky1660 I'm sorry you had to go through that. My experiences with clinical depression essentially crippled my ability to discipline myself for school altogether. I'm 34 and still working on it.
But to clarify, are you saying that your experience was the opposite of mine? Because I didn't mean to say that a complete lack of achievement would lead to happiness either. Both of those extremes tend to be unhealthy. Rather I'm just saying that the idea self esteem only comes from earned accomplishments is faulty. If that were the case, I should have been one of the happiest, proudest kids in my school during 8th and possibly 9th grade, and instead I just wanted to die. It's actually pretty astonishing in retrospect just how much I did and how miserable I felt doing most of it.
You can tell that this speaker has never been in a high school or any other school. The school is about academic, social, and individual growth. It is more social and individual then academic like almost all. A teacher or principal would not last long if they follow this.

Allowed, but can't be exclusive. For instance a Christian club can't exclude Muslims or Atheist and vice versa.
That's a good question because religion can be defined as an identity and as a practice/passion.
The difference is that you can choose to be Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, atheist, etc... Religion is an identity, but it's chosen by passion.
You can't choose to be black. You can't choose to be attracted to the same sex. You can't choose to be from another ethnicity. Politicizing physical and cultural differences is awful and allowing clubs that recognize those divisions is allowing racial/sexual politics to exist.

Which is s good thing. However Dennis Prager is not Christian.
My biggest problem was his connection to ethnicity and nationality. He says that “race and ethnicity will no longer be honored” which insinuates an eradication of individuality and promotes subtle indoctrination. I say this because race and ethnicity have nothing to do with nationality, they only refer to one’s upbringing and experiences, which allows Americans to be different. To ignore cultural differences is the definition of intolerance, and is anti-American by nature.
Are you saying you should be more proud of what you look like instead of your spiritual and intellectual self?
Except he never say to ignore it. He point is too not use it as achievements. Don’t use your skin colour or ethnicity as a way of being proud of yourself. Being proud is something you done good, productive, successful, and useful. Not being in your race when he haven’t done anything for society. Be proud for your accomplish. Not by race or culture. You can respect it but don’t feel superior over it.
Vasily Vetrov what’s wrong with being proud of your heritage?
Thot eater Fine.. if it's something you 'achieved'
You just have selective hearing and can't understand the basic concept of what he is saying. What is America? It's a country where many cultures and people live together. American Nationality is meant to be something to unite people despite their differences. Not to eradicate individuality. Not once did he say he wanted America to DEFINE you. What he said is very American because it is trying to unite all peoples and remove segregation of any sort.
I love what you said, and hope that many public school administrators will hear it and take action. It’s high time we got back to education, literacy and creative thinking, and forgot about courses concerning why we need to love ourselves and others unlike us.
So this hypothetical principal should just be straight forward in his comments and tell the students ,"we will adhere to the policies of far right conservatives ".
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.
Identity clubs exclude people and cause cliques. It creates an atmosphere of 'us' and 'them'. It's about time people stopped being so self-absorbed.
@@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.
LifeWhyz Music Because apparently expressing your cultural history and exploring your individuality is “self-absorbed”. Come on, I get that for white people this isn’t a big deal since America is literally founded on Christian values and culture, but for the rest of us these things actually mean something.
Stop taking them away and stop calling us “self-absorbed” and “narcissistic” for wanting to keep them.

Global warming is not a political topic its a science topic.
Scientific topics are political issues ALL THE TIME. When you want to spend public money on science, or when you want to use science as the basis for making laws, it becomes a political issue.
+M Clarke I respectfully disagree. I say this based on fact. Here is the reality my collage SPS (Society of Physics Students) and most of the sciences and engineering students had endless debates on the validity of this data.
Including a one of the doctoral teachers who headed the science department. Sorry but the Science Community knows this is "political topic". There is more than one data set and theroy as to what is going on. In fact the head of the departments favoret thing to do was when the solar data indicated that we would have a period of global cooling bet all the PRO-Global Warming students that if we had cooler temperatures over the 3 or 5 year data sets as the other models suggest we would he could lower their letter grade by one whole letter. Guess how many people lost :)
When all of the proposed "solutions" revolve around giving the government and unelected bureaucrats more control over every aspect of your life it becomes political.
When even if we all did what the Global Warming Alarmists wanted and returned to the stone age, they project it would only decrease temperatures by 0.5% over 100 years, why bother?
Besides don't you know that according to Al-Gore, with his three giant homes on the beach, we should all be underwater already.
Why would you trust a Politician who claims they can control the weather any more than any other politician? Just cause they awarded some publically funded grants to "scientists" who would support their power grabs, and ban scientists who disagreed?
M Clarke -- There are two issues here. The political football and many headed Hydra that is Global Warming... or the science and rational discourse about climate change. I believe he was referring to the hyperbole of the first.
***** I would agree with you. Even climate scientists shake there head at the carbon credit system. Because you get things like DEFORESTING an area to plant eucalyptus which is not indigenous and when it dies releases the carbon back into the air... and a whole mess of other crap that when you do the science makes NO SCENE at all. But then the politics claims WE MUST DO THIS!!! It stopped being about science and reality some time ago.

English is the most widely spoken language in America that is not to say it is all you will need but it is a must if you wish to live properly in a place that speaks it. School is to prepare you for the real world asap so sit down raise your hand if you have questions and let's get to learning.
@@destinydragon8312 lol. This video is still authoritarian. Speaking launguages is something strange to bring up. If you mean that spanish clubs and stuff, you are wrong. Spanish clubs doesnt mean "no english" or something, anyone can join.
I will say it is not deplorable that we don't speak more than one language. I was in Switzerland in 2016 and spoke to a older man who loved America and what we represented. He loved our entrepreneurial spirit. However, I mentioned that Americans lack knowing a second or multiple languages. He stated "That's because we have too. America is so big and you our one country so there is no need for you to speak multiple languages. In Europe, those that live on border cities speak more than on language but if you go into the interior they only speak their native tongue". I found that conversation very telling and I'll never forget it.
“This school will no longer concern itself with politics”
“This school will no longer consider race or ethnicity BUT you can still take other languages!”
Really did that one chief
Other languages are not other races or ethnicities.
Really did that one chief.
In this case “not considering race or ethnicity” is code word for the melting pot format of American culture, where other cultures assimilate into white American culture.
no more sex ed ... lets drive those underage pregnancy rates up! what a plan :))
Did he say "no more sex ed"? I thought he said that if it went past health issue, it won't be part of sex ed.
+Isaac Hayward is that due to the population increasing and them staying the same ratio? because if the population is going up but the number of pregnant teens is going up slower than that, it would mean the ratio of amount of teens is actually going down.
just wondering what the numbers are not saying you are wrong, it is definitely big in america but I would just want proof about how bad it's increasing and then maybe some connections to sex ed. since the whole correlation doesn't equal causation thing and it could just be American culture just has started endorsing sex a lot more and kids could be using that as a catalyst for why they want it because partnered with sexual urges they think it makes them cool.
Oh yeah right! Like sex ed really taught anyone to use protection or keep their pants on! Give me a break, you moron.
Yes because it is definitely the school's job and not the parents'.
we have the internet.
the "propaganda" bit is just stupid. its not propaganda at all. its real world topics and issues that should be studied upon and evaluated. banning it will just make that particular uneducated when facing real world issues and thats far more dangerous than talking about it
particular person
When students are told what to think instead of allowing all points of view that is Orthodoxy or Propaganda!
Like Gender identity?
You're missing the point, Dante. In general, education and politics should remain separate, at least until college level.
Climate Change is nothing but political! It has no basis in Science. Real World idea is You need more CO2 not less! CO2 is Green Plant Food! Green Plants are Starving right now! Advocating reducing CO2 Will Kill Green Plants. Green Plants create Oxygen which we an all animal need to breathe. Animals and Us need Green Plants
I think it’s funny that the people that gave this video on thumbs down are probably the ones that complain about everything. The ones that get offended about everything. The soft ones. This principle is spot on.
Thats a really dumb speech. What about foreign exchange students from different classes?
Oh my god this video is cancer
So your litmus test, regarding our schools, centers on "foreign" students"?
Interesting.
they are here cause they came to learn in English and they will do such easily cause they have been chosen for that reason
What about them?
Who gives a F about foreign exchange students, they're in America experiencing American culture.
This video:
YTPs: Its free real state
It froze for a split second at the beginning, and I started to panic that it might be a ytp and not the real thing.
It will be nice if schools all over the nation could adopt these principles for their principles.
Orlando Tourist Traps
Or if the principals could adopt the principles as shown for principals for principle use by principals as principle behavior befitting of principals.
@@obviouslykaleb7998 you misspelled _principals._ :-)

As a *principality,* I must thank you
Someone: speaks a language other than English
Dennis: so you have chosen death
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!
This is not objective education
This is indoctrination
Also yeah individuality just went off the window
The Revolutionary Leftist He want to make robots that only know 1 thing: “Be the best” and by best he doesn’t mean the best for yourself, but he means the best for his cause, a compliant, never reflecting machine that can only speak 1 language, knows 1 country, 1 flag. Great stuff to instore a brain-dead young generation for the army
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.
TheInherentFloyd the church is indoctrinating socialism, transgenderism, and atheism?
Principals: *say speech*
Superintendent: *laughs in administrative leave*
Dimitri J na more like Principals: says speech Students: laughs in going too another school.
Kennan JK my principle threatened to shut down my western male chauvinist club but I said that it would be discriminatory because lgbtq club nd black history club exist, and I kept my club
Principals: say speech
law books: laughs in sure it's legal, but you look like an asshat
Principal: *says speech*
Students: *all collectively band together to create and share memes that humiliate the teacher to the point of him resigning by the 3rd day*
Maybe in a regressive "progressive" state, but not most places. You people are devoid of reason or morals.
'This school will have *failed* if any of you graduate...'
- Dennis Prager, 2016
Fantastic loved everything about this speech this is how American schools should be
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.
So, how exactly are gonna teach U.S history without focusing much on racism and sexism? Because I feel like those were pretty important topic that had a lot to do with America’s development.
We don't avoid the ism. We teach what happened so people won't do it again. That's what teaching history is about?
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.
Teach the facts and let the students make their own minds up.
@@jenns1649 That's how its supposed to be, but MOST schools, and MOST universities don't do it. So we have a bunch of people who basically don't know how to think, or want to, and don't know anything- and think they do, because of what they were told to think.
@@inkmage4084 Nobody tells anyone what to think aside from "hey, racism is bad." Unless you wanna argue otherwise in which case you'd be showing your true nature.
