The Origin of Educational & Economic Chaos

For those in the Christian realm this news comes as no surprise. You understand that the core of our society, the core of our culture, the quality of our educational system, and the robustness of our economy ... they all begin at home.

What you've known for years has been validated by a study, which has been trust upon the blog rolls by an op-ed piece in the NY Times. Have a read, if you like. It comes from David Brooks. The researchers claim that U.S. graduation levels peaked in the late 1960s, and they can predict educational achievement potential of 5 year old child with chilling accuracy.

Family is the origin of everything civil about the civilized world. As parents, we have the most awesome role in the world. The parent is the starting point for teaching self government, the laws of God and human worth. Brooks says, Obama is already acting on the study and the GOP is inept on "human capital policies". I'd love to have a conversation with Brooks.

God Save the U.S.A.
