As MacArthur award-winning educator Lisa Delpit reminds us - and as all research shows - there is no achievement gap at birth. In her long-awaited second book, Delpit presents a striking picture of the elements of contemporary public education that conspire against the prospects for poor children of color, creating a persistent gap in achievement during the school years that has eluded several decades of reform. Delpit reflects on two decades of reform efforts that have still left a generation of poor children of color feeling that higher educational achievement isn't for them.

Today’s youth have a lot going against them as they trudge onto their school campuses. Sitting in cold, hard desks, they’re force-fed facts that quickly zap the joy of discovery right out of them. Next, they’re indoctrinated with progressive ideologies meant to sexualize them and incite hatred for America. The fear of a gunman kicking in their classroom door constantly looms in the back of their mind. This is the loneliest, most anxious, and depressed young generation our world has possibly ever seen. Oh, and on top of all that...they might not really be a boy or a girl.

Have you ever thought there are many things that are not taught in schools, even though they are crucial to our children’s development? Have you wondered how to teach a mindset of abundance? A child that learns how to dream big and knows, that they are worthy of receiving the very best life has to offer, will grow up adopting an abundance mindset. What this attitude of mind will provide is the self-esteem, trust, and confidence that, as a person, you can ask for everything you wish for. Thus everything you ask for will be granted.

It shows how different experiences and disparate risks of disclosure shape these groups' collective strategies.

The Club, which is sponsored by the Child Evangelism Fellowship, bills itself as an after-school program of "Bible study."

They are especially poisonous for the hearts and minds of children from religious families of every faith - ordinary families who value traditional morality and plain old common sense. Parents' first duty is to their children - to their intellect, their character, their souls. The facts on the ground point to one conclusion: Get out now.
