Why would the NAACP deny school choice for minorities?  In this week’s boralogue, John looks at America’s failing education system and the unfulfilled promises of reform by education elites.  If home, private, and charter schools clearly outperform their public counterparts, why would anyone deny parents the choice to send their children there?  Because there are entrenched interests whose careers rest on keeping the failure going.

Are we facing a bump in the road or a significant paradigm shift in the world? We welcome to the program this week national security and foreign policy analyst Lt. Col. Robert Maginnis (www.mesmoinc.com) who discusses five major threat areas for America’s future as well as the geopolitics of Russia, China, and the Middle East.

The Obama administration admitted this week that Obamacare premiums will rise significantly in the coming months.  Merrill Matthews (www.ipi.org), Resident Scholar with the Institute for Policy Innovation, shows that predictions have come true and young people are subsidizing older patients.  What will be the future of healthcare in this country?

The FCC recently elected to put America’s entire broadcast industry under control of foreign entities.  Jerry Kenney (www.usasurvival.org), President of Kenney Broadcasting Corporation relates his experience with foreign programming and questions the government’s ability to vet these foreign organizations.

John’s quote of the week:

“Reform always starts from the ground up, not the top down.  We must continue to decry the failure of the current system and demand support.”
