The Collapse of American Education | Mat Staver

In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I speak with Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel, to uncover the deep-rooted issues within the U.S. Department of Education and its far-reaching impact on our nation's children, families and religious freedom.

Staver argues that since its creation in 1979, the DOE has presided over a dramatic decline in global educational ranking, while becoming a tool for political gain and ideological enforcement—particularly targeting faith-based schools and parental authority.

More than a critique, this conversation is a call to abolish the DOE, return control to states and parents and reignite educational freedom grounded in truth and results.
