The Weekly Sam: Exposing the Humanists in Government Education: A Lecture by Sam Blumenfeld

In this lecture from 1985, Sam Blumenfeld exposes the Humanist influence in government schools.  Sam gave this lecture in North Carolina where he testified at the State House in Raleigh after examining the so-called reform legislation.  Whether it be in a Red State or a state like New York, the Humanists and their far left allies have a virtual monopoly on what is taught in government schools.  Thankfully, more and more parents are taking their children out of these schools, and from clutches of these people who are destroying the minds of American children.  A link to the presentation:   https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/shurtleffhal/episodes/2021-08-26T16_50_09-07_00

George Schuyler, A Patriot and One of the Best Writers of His Time: A Presentation by Mary Graybar, PHD

About five years ago, I was doing some research on George Schuyler, the late black patriot, and writer who wrote for the now defunct “American Opinion” magazine.  I read his autobiography Black and Conservative many years ago, and purchased a portrait of him that was used for a cover of “American Opinion”.  I was trying to find a good home for the portrait where it would be properly displayed.  I found an article written by Mary Graybar back in 2011 or so on the subject of Mr. Schuyler, and contacted her via the E-mail that was at the end of the article.  I was able to provide Mary a copy of every article Mr. Schuyler wrote for “American Opinion.”  Mary was also an expert on Howard Zinn and wrote a book exposing his lies.  I interviewed Mary on our radio show during the height of last year’s riots.  This year, we were blessed to have Mary teach a few classes at our 13th annual  family camp.  One of the classes was a presentation about Mary’s forthcoming biography of George Schuyler.  A link to the presentation is below.  (His portrait is on display at the Lane House in Lexington, MA where hundreds of people have learned about this great man.)

The Weekly Sam: Get Your Children Out of Government Schools-a Presentation from 1987

Sam Blumenfeld was a generation ahead of his time.  This presentation took place in Anchorage, Alaska in 1987.  In this presentation, he urges parents to get their children out of government schools.   Sam explains who was behind the destruction of our government schools.   A link to the presentation:   https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/shurtleffhal/episodes/2021-08-11T10_25_32-07_00

While many parents are catching on and the homeschool movement is flourishing, many Christians and conservatives  still believe that government schools can be reformed as the teachers, administrations, school board committees, and teachers’ unions war against the children and parents.
