Why we must teach our children the truth about America

(The Lion) — History is more than just a collection of names and dates—it’s the story of real men and women who risked everything to build our great nation. But today, many schools are failing to teach children about these American heroes and their biographies are hard to find from a trusted source.

Sadly, history is being rewritten, mischaracterized, or ignored altogether. Too often, children are left with a cynical view of their own country, unaware of the courage, sacrifice, and perseverance that has made America exceptional.

Students are failing. Test scores continue to plummet nationwide. Why? Because too many schools prioritize radical activism over real education. Facts, knowledge, and achievement are no longer a focus. No wonder our students are falling behind.

The antidote to this crisis is education rooted in truth. If we want to reverse this trend, we must support organizations that uphold biblical truth and the principles of liberty. Innovative solutions are needed to rekindle interest in American history and inspire young minds with the ideals that made this country great.

Thankfully, there are promising developments. The federal Department of Education, long hijacked by bureaucrats and leftist ideologues, may finally be getting the overhaul it desperately needs. Americans are returning to common sense in this new era of optimism, limited government, and a renewed appreciation for traditional values.

But we cannot sit back and wait for America’s education system to correct itself. We must be proactive and fill the gaps where schools have failed. As faithful and patriotic Americans, we must take it upon ourselves to educate our children and grandchildren. The future of our nation depends on it.

We must seek out educational resources that are committed to:

  • Teaching real history—not the politically motivated distortions found in many textbooks today.
  • Instilling a love for America—because a nation cannot thrive when its people are taught to resent it.
  • Promoting Judeo-Christian values—the foundation of moral clarity, personal responsibility, and strong families.

One of the most promising initiatives to spark curiosity in the next generation is PragerU. This nonprofit is on a mission to provide wholesome, patriotic, and Judeo-Christian educational resources that counter the toxic narratives found in mainstream education. They have produced content for everyone (ages 4 to 104) in the form of educational videos, books, and lesson plans.
