CGR THURSDAY 092123 Michael Letts Humter Biden Indictment Pastor Shannon Wright Baltimore Schools Failing

My passion is the fight for freedom. My father fought for a World War II defending our country. Today, we are no longer fighting with guns. Instead, we are fighting an ideological battle for control of our country by contributing to causes that support your constitutional rights.

I am Patriot Mobile. That was a shooting gallery. I'm so glad it's you and not me, Greg. I am not a tech fan. She suffered a very severe being.

The video is pretty graphic. Justice for us seems impossible. You get on my phone system. They're so complicated.

I just wanted to make calls and take my email. That's all I care about. No doubt, right? Exactly. Okay, we're about 30 seconds off.

Not a big deal. I've got a 30-second show that I can throw in. So I'm doing live audio, live video. The audio feed started on time. The video feed, I had to wait for this program to open, and I don't always remember that I've got to activate the stream deck. Otherwise, it won't do what it's supposed to do.

It's funny. It's supposed to automate the system so that that makes things easier. It's a one-button automation. But the problem is, is that it doesn't wake up until I click on it and say, hey, dummy.

Yeah, you. It don't work. Yeah, sometimes they say technology makes it. It's supposed to eat. Sometimes it makes it more complicated. But it's not.

Yeah, they're probably listening, but I refer to them as artificial idiocy. When the regime gives the order, you have to kill. My heart was pounding. I felt my body bouncing and twisting on the floor. They put numbers on our shoulders, then separated us into rows of even and odd numbers.

I was number nine. My brother, he's still in prison, and my sister, she was sent to a labor camp without a trial. But there's one piece of evidence they haven't been able to destroy yet.

I left everything behind. If I can expose what they did to us. Then all of our suffering would be for nothing.

All right. Also coming up, Luke Macias is with us. We'll talk AG Paxton and the acquittal. A lot more to talk about with regards to that situation. And then Pastor Shannon Wright, what's happening in Baltimore schools, but I want to talk right now. And I'm going to lead into this by, by showing you a couple of quick video clips.

And Michael Letts is with us, Invest USA. Michael, let me see, let me get this unmuted. All right. So one of the things that Merrick Garland was called out on was his assault on religious liberty.

Check this out. Attorney General, through the chair, I ask you, do you agree that traditional Catholics are violent extremists? I have no idea what your, what the traditional means here. Let me just go to church. May I answer your question? The idea that someone with my family background would discriminate against any religion is so outrageous, so absurd. Mr. Attorney General, it was your FBI that did this. It was your FBI that was sending, and we have the memos, we have the emails, we're sending undercover agents into Catholic churches. Both I and the director of the FBI have said that we were appalled by that memo. So then you agree that they're not extremists?

We were appalled by that memo. Are they extremists or not, Attorney General? I think that... Are they extremists or not, Attorney General?

Everything in that memo is appalling. Are they extremists or not? I'm asking a simple question. Say no if you think that was wrong. Catholics are not extremists.

No. So there you go. They're not extremists, but they get treated like extremists by this Department of Justice. Here's another, and this is more specifically on the issue that we're about to talk about. And this has to do with the announcement regarding the special counsel.

Let's give this a listen, and then, Micah, I'd like your thoughts with regards to this. Hang on, let me get the... As a special counsel, consistent... Here today to announce the appointment of David Weiss as a special counsel, consistent with the Department of Justice regulations governing such matters. Beginning in 2019, Mr. Weiss, in his capacity as U.S. Attorney and along with federal law enforcement partners, began investigating allegations of certain criminal conduct by, among others, Robert Hunter Biden.

That investigation has been recently referenced in federal criminal proceedings in the District of Delaware. The appointment of Mr. Weiss reinforces for the American people the Department's commitment to both independence and accountability in particularly sensitive matters. I am confident that Mr. Weiss will carry out his responsibility in an even-handed and urgent manner and in accordance with the highest traditions of this Department. Okay, Michael, your thoughts on... Well, I'll tell you there, there's quite a few thoughts on both those issues, but let's take the last one first.

I thought it was striking. He said that David Weiss would do this in an urgent matter. David Weiss has had this case since 2019. He deliberately delayed so that a number of those indictments from the tax implications from the IRS would expire.

They'd meet their statute of limitations, so they couldn't bring charges. So, why he is trying to say that David Weiss will urgently pursue this when he has already demonstrated he's had this for over five years and no charges so that they expired is just false. I mean, it's an outright lie to Congress. He knows it's an outright lie to Congress. He never mentioned on the fact that it was David Weiss who also entered into a sweetheart plea agreement, crafted it, put it together, would have signed it had the federal judge not smelled a rat and said, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, this is not going to work. You need to go back to the table. So there is no confidence by the American people that David Weiss will do this job unbiasedly and without prejudice.

He's already demonstrated over five years, not even a matter of a week. Five years has been nothing but prejudicial towards this matter. And for anybody, whether it was Garland or anybody else, to not be able to see that and to make him the appointment of special prosecutors tells you there's an ulterior motive. What is that ulterior motive? Well, you know, quite frankly, if I'm looking for a particular result, Greg, you happen to be my best friend and you happen to know or have tried to do everything you can to get me to that point. And that's who I'm going to appoint.

That's what I'm going to put in there, knowing that you're going to in any way possible make sure that this case goes away. So he has totally disappointed the American people. He's lied to Congress once again. And this is not unusual for the attorney general. Can you imagine, Greg, we're sitting here talking about the chief law enforcement officer of the United States who cannot be honest with Congress and the American people?

That's just that's horrible. And to carry into the further thing that was said about his position on Catholics and churches, you know, it rings hollow. You say, why did it ring hollow? It was not just one office. It was multiple offices that did this. He never brought up the fact he only brought it up when he was caught on the one office. Right. He never said, oh, there's been having other things.

We had to continually bring it out to him that it was multiple offices. Here's what strikes me, David. He says he was appalled.

OK, great. If you're appalled, tell me what you did about. Tell me who was disciplined. Tell me, show me the letter that you sent to everybody saying, you know, this is absolutely the most draconian thing. If you ever do this again, you're immediately shown the door.

He provided absolutely no evidence of any action that he chose. Well, he acted like his statement is, you know, that would be like saying, OK, you know, I yeah, I know that, you know, one of my employees was, you know, stealing money. OK, you know, and oh, that's just oh, it's just terrible.

Yeah, you know, but as if you're as if you have no control over what was going on, as if as if it somehow you live in a bubble and and what you're what the people that you're responsible for do. You know what? That's really you know, that's that's that that's on them.

That's not on me. And so what should I do? Here's here was his opening statement, by the way, with regards to, you know, the the I guess talking about we're not going to be intimidated or we're not we're not a political organization, which is just ridiculous as well.

But here, give this a listen real quick. The Justice Department was founded in the wake of the Civil War and in the midst of Reconstruction with the first principal task of bringing to justice white supremacists and others who terrorize black Americans to prevent them from exercising their civil rights. The Justice Department's job then and now is to fulfill the promise that it is at the foundation of our democracy, that the law will treat each of us alike.

That promise is also why I am here. My family fled religious persecution in Eastern Europe at the start of the 20th century. My grandmother was one of five children born in what is now Belarus made it to the United States. As did two of her siblings. The other two did not.

Those two were killed in the Holocaust. And there is little doubt that but for America, the same thing would have happened to my grandmother. But this country took her in and under the protection of our laws, she was able to live without fear of persecution. That protection is what distinguishes this country from so many others. The protection of law, the rule of law is the foundation of our system of government.

Repaying this country for the debt my family owes for our very lives has been the focus of my entire professional career. That is why I served in the Justice Department under five different attorneys general under both Democratic and Republican administrations. That is why I spent more than 25 years ensuring the rule of law as a judge. And that is why I left a lifetime appointment as a judge and came back to the Justice Department two and a half years ago.

So the question I would have for him is, is then how can you justify kicking down doors of individuals who are who are standing up for the very least of us? Well, you know, here's the sad part about what you just listened to. And this is what we tell the American people every time we get an opportunity. People are great about putting on a spin and putting out a projection that is not real.

That's what politics is all about. He did that exactly just then. He gave a tear jerking story.

He made you feel like, you know, this was just somebody that you couldn't help but love. But the problem is, Greg, this is what I tell it's not just the attorney general. This is what I tell America, period. Don't listen to the rhetoric. Watch the actions. The actions are what speak what's in the heart, not the rhetoric. And his actions continually prove a number of things.

If you look during that testimony, he looked like a deer in headlights. I don't know what's going on in my own department, as you alluded to earlier. Right. No, I can't comment because it's under investigation. He never took a forceful position on anything that is of consequence to the American people. Don't ever let your agents investigate religious organizations because of their religion. Don't ever try to use your position to intimidate those who don't agree with you politically. He never took a firm position because he knew his actions couldn't back it up. His actions actually showed the exact opposite. So he depends on people just buying the rhetoric, not looking at the action.

That's what got this country in this mess to begin with. And it's about time we wake up and become wise as serpents and take a look and see. Let me see what you really do. Not what you say, but what you do.

Hameric Garlic, you've been weighed and found in the balance and found to be wanting because of the fact that your words have nothing to do, no reality based on what your actions really are. Well, and for all of us here, you know, that's really, folks, that becomes kind of the scary part with regards to this as well. You know, I had Jeff Zink on Monday and he was talking about what happened to his son who was there on January the 6th standing on the steps. Never entered the Capitol, but standing on the steps. And yes, he was frustrated and yes, he was upset, but he did nothing more or less than, based on the statements that were put against him, but nothing more or less than what Ray Epps said. And Ray Epps gets a little slap on the wrist. Ryan Zink is facing 31 years in a federal penitentiary.

31 years. Not to mention, well, and if you go on the American Gulag, folks, and I really encourage you to go to the American Gulag website, because if you go to americangulag.org, you're going to hear horrific stories directly from the mouths of these men who've been able to get letters out now about the treatment that they are receiving. And in many of these instances, having never been charged, 720 days in worse conditions than you would imagine a prisoner in somewhere like Iran. And still no charges and bed sores and intestinal issues.

I mean, it just goes on and on and on and on. We've got individuals who've lost eyes because of infections. It really is just utterly disgusting, I think is the best word. I've lived in third world countries. I've seen better conditions in their prisons than we have in some of ours. And yet to take American citizens, you know, it used to mean something, Greg, to be an American citizen.

I recall the time, you know, in the 50s and 60s when missionaries were, you know, killed in the Amazon jungle. What did we do? We sit on a contingency of special forces of Marines to bring them back because it meant something to be an American citizen. Today, the only thing it means to be an American citizen is to be subject to the same type brutal tactics that Nazis did, that the Gestapo did, that the Brown Shirts did. And that is not what our forefathers envisioned, and that's not what they ever desired. And it's because we, the American people, have stood by idly. We've decided to bury our head in the sands and we've allowed them, oh, it'll all work out. This is the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Folks, freedom is not free. If you don't defend it, you lose it. And we are in the process now of having an administration who's appointed the chief law enforcement officer, chief of the FBI, et cetera, who have demonstrated they have no respect for the law. They have perjured themselves. They have obstructed justice before Congress. They have committed felonious acts that you and I do.

We automatically would be in jail. They think they're above the law. The only way, Greg, to move forward in this situation, and I hate to use this analogy, but who do you get to bring to justice people that are at the very top? We're at the point now to where the Constitution provides for a military tribunal. It's in the Constitution. It's in the War Powers Act. And quite frankly, I think we've reached that stage because of the fact that they are doing everything they can to terrorize and destroy the average American citizen. Well, which is another reason, though, why they have gutted the military command.

I mean, they just pushed through. Just yesterday, Senator Tuberville from Alabama was trying to get this stopped, and they just went ahead and pushed through a chief of staff that really, from what I'm surmising, and I'll have to get more into this, folks, but from what I've surmised so far, has no business sitting in that seat and would never do what you're suggesting, would never do it. You are, Greg.

But the great thing, this is what I tell people, Greg, is there any hope? Yes. Yes, because a military tribunal is called by Congress, not by the military. So the Speaker of the House can ask for a military tribunal or the commander in chief.

You and I both do. The commander in chief is not going to have a military tribunal against himself. And we have a real question as to how strong of opponents, proponents we have in Congress. Absolutely. But they could do that. And then a military tribunal is made up of junior military officers, not these woke senior general officers. And so, you know, there is some hope in doing that.

But quite frankly, the other option, Greg, is what I have and people ask me all across the country now. Are we to the point to where another American Revolution, a second American Revolution is fixing to occur? And I can tell you this, there's a lot of people that view what Patrick Henry said, give me liberty or give me death. And we are at that point now the Americans are going to have to decide what they want for their future. And I don't want oppression.

I don't want to be in a third Reich. I want us to be free the way our Congress and the way our constitutional fathers always envisioned. Well, and I think the thing that we've got to keep doing is we've got to keep educating people on what the Constitution says, what their rights are. I'm encouraged by the fact that we've had parents that are showing up at school board meetings and individuals that are that are that are fighting to take a stand that are trying to use the actions. We also have citizen grand jury, you know, available to us as well. And I encourage people to check out what what a citizen grand jury is and what a citizen grand jury can do. My friend, Attorney Larry Klayman, has been doing a lot of work with regards to that. So there are still things within the system. But I agree with you.

And I had a guest on yesterday. We were talking a little bit about it. But, you know, even even Pastor Michael Huckabee is saying, look, we're we're we're we're almost to the point, you know, where people are going to be forced to take up arms in order to defend their rights. And and it I know that's what they want in a manner of speaking. That's what they want. I, you know, I think that they're learning that they have begun to bite off more than they can chew.

I think that the spirit of the American people and and and there is a revival that is also coming as an underpinning to that as well. People are tired of the emptiness. They're tired of the of the woke culture. They're tired of being told that they hate one another when they don't. They're tired of being told that they need to give preferential treatment to perversion. They're tired of watching their children be mutilated by by doctors and surgeons that are that are acting like Goebbels. And and, you know, acting like the Nazis when it comes to experimental stuff. They're tired of the experimental drugs that have been tested on us. And and there is more and more and more evidence.

And now they're saying they're going to roll out more than and I think people are coming to the place of saying enough is enough. You will either change the direction or you will see civil disobedience at a level at which if you choose, you're going to create the physical war. I would suggest that we are at war. We are already in a spiritual war. Evil is at war with good and has been for many, many years. And in many respects, we've slept on it rather than acting. But now we're seeing evil and the perpetration of evil. And, you know, they want to tell us that it's not happening.

And Michael, we know that's a lie. Invest USA dot org, by the way, is working to help our law enforcement officers, the good ones and the good guys that are doing that are trying to stop the real criminals to have the proper gear to be able to protect themselves so they can come home at night and see their families again. Invest USA dot org real quick.

And then we got to jump. There's a madness. All this invest, make sure that the law enforcement knows the people support that they know the government doesn't. We've got to make sure they see our support. And then we've got a second organization restoring justice, which is we've got to change our judicial system from a two tiered, inequitable system to one of liberty and justice for all.

And then we're now going into this final phase, Greg, that I wanted to mention. I'm asking all Americans to join me in a movement. We will not comply. We will not comply with unconstitutional mandates. You tell me I have to do this.

I have to get a vaccination. No, we will not comply with unlawful orders anymore. We as an American people will stand up to this government. And we better watch what the WHO is doing, because they right now are in the middle of putting together something that Congress has already put into place, having to do with digital identification and so forth.

And we need to become knowledgeable about that and say again, as you've as you've started, we will not comply. Jesus Christ is my king. Jesus Christ is the king of my life. I hope he's the king of your life as well, folks. And if Jesus is king and Jesus is Lord, then this tyrannical nonsense that's trying to tell you that they are, you need to throw them off the throne and say, no, I'm sorry, you're not. You're not. And that was what our revolution was about.

And they need to get put back in check. Michael, God bless you. Thanks for being with me today. I appreciate it. Thank you. God bless you, Pastor Greg. Have a great day. God bless you and God bless America. Amen.

All right, brother. Listen, folks, we'll be right back. Pastor Shannon Wright's doing something in Baltimore. They are going to be taking a civil class action against the school board, against the mayor, against the city and against the city council for horrific school conditions if they don't change.

And if they don't change leadership, we'll talk about it coming up. I'm your host, Pastor Greg. You're listening to Children Generation Radio.

I am Patriot Mobile. Welcome back to Children's Generation Radio, where no topic is off limits and everything filtered through biblical glasses. I'm your host, Pastor Greg. And as promised, I'm very pleased to welcome to the program, she is fighting the good fight for better education. And she ran for mayor. She is a pastor who believes that there's a better way and that children need to be properly educated and given opportunities. I believe that this is a country that gives opportunities and it's the responsibility of educators to make sure that those opportunities are presented to every student.

There's morals involved in that as well, but we'll get into all of that. We're pleased to welcome Pastor Shannon Wright to the program. Pastor Wright, welcome. Good to have you.

Good morning and thank you. Well, my dear, you know, one of the questions that I have for you, because I get this from people all the time, I talk a great deal about what people call political issues. And I chuckle at this now because we have, what in my opinion is, is we have a tyrannical entity that has said basically that anything that I would speak about is political so that they therefore can claim that they can silence me. But a lot of Christians think, oh, you're not supposed to talk about political things.

How do you respond to those statements? I believe we're absolutely supposed to talk about all things because we're the ones, those that profess to have a Christian faith should also understand their ability and the necessity for discernment, which means in all things, we should have an opinion that is biblically based. And if we don't shine that light, who will? No doubt.

No doubt. Well, I want to play a piece that talks about the specific issue that you are addressing there in Baltimore. Let's give this a listen and then I want to hear your thoughts with regards to it. Well, the clock is ticking one day after protesters rally outside of City Hall with an ultimatum for Baltimore City Schools to remove the CEO in 12 days or face a class action lawsuit. But as Project Baltimore's Chris Pabst explains, it is not just the school system that is under fire.

Chris? Well, the protesters that we spoke with said the community is at a breaking point after decades or even generations of failure within their public school system. They're not only demanding action from the school board, they're also demanding it from the mayor and city council.

My name is Pastor Shannon Wright. With your support and your vote, the next mayor of Baltimore City. Shannon Wright one year ago was campaigning for Baltimore City mayor. Now she's campaigning for something else.

It is now time that we hold everyone appointed and elected accountable. Why the lawsuit? Because they're not listening. Asking nicely is not working.

Writing letters is not working. All of you are responsible. Wright, who runs a nonprofit, was among protesters who rallied outside City Hall Tuesday evening calling for Baltimore City Schools CEO Dr. Sonia Santelises to resign. She needs to go. CEO must go.

It was there that she and dozens of other community members made a stunning demand. Remove Santelises in 12 days or a class action lawsuit will be filed against not only the Baltimore City School Board, but the mayor's office and city council. We're watching generation after generation to slide into an education abyss. Tuesday's rally follows a year of staggering setbacks in student performance, but it didn't begin there. Project Baltimore Investigations have exposed a culture of grade changing and pushing kids through the system without giving them the education they need. Well, we have questions in reference to test scores being altered, grades being altered. Since Dr. Santelises became CEO in 2016, graduation rates have dropped. SAT scores and college enrollment are also down.

And with a salary of $340,000 a year, Santelises is Maryland's highest paid school leader. Every time we hear a story and we do nothing and we see a report and we do nothing, that's more children that are going through this broken system that are not getting a good quality education. And you get to that point where you're like, enough is enough.

And for me, this is that time. Wright's organization, Urban Engagement Initiative, is part of the group threatening to file a class action lawsuit, which she says would claim city schools has been derelict in its duties to educate generations of children while mismanaging funds. Wright says so far, the suit has more than 100 signatures and it's ready to be filed. The amount of money that comes into the city of Baltimore per student is more than some private school tuition. So you're telling me that you can't manage to get that money into the classroom to actually educate that child?

I just don't see it. The Baltimore City School Board declined an interview, but is standing by Santelises saying in a statement that she's a proven, effective and nationally recognized leader, capable of meeting the standards set by this body and the community it represents. She is the right leader for the right time, and we are grateful to have her.

Do you believe a high school diploma from Baltimore has been cheapened? Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.

The children of the city, their future is at stake. We are absolutely serious. This isn't a bluff. This isn't a, oh, we want something else on the side.

No, it's what we're saying. We want a good, quality education for the students in the city of Baltimore. Now, the group behind this potential lawsuit says they also want the school board dismantled and a new board elected by the people of Baltimore.

Wright tells us they are currently looking nationwide for a new CEO to take over for Dr. Santelises. Chris, we heard the group's demands. What would it take for them not to file the lawsuit?

Well, there's essentially two things, Kai. There's one, obviously, Santelises stepping down or the school board firing her, but as we saw from the statement from the school board, they fully support her. The other thing they said would be if the mayor's office, city council and the school board all came together, opened up their books, became more transparent, and they saw significant changes within the school system that could lead to a better education for the students. Well, Chris, that brings us to that issue. The mayor has said that he does not have control of the school system, so why would he be named in the lawsuit?

And he doesn't. He doesn't have control of the day-to-day operations within the school system, but what he does have is influence, and he does have the bully pulpit, and he also has money. The city council and the mayor fund about 20% of Baltimore City Schools operating budget every year, so the lawsuit is targeting also city council and the mayor because they put a lot of money into the school system, and they should have the influence to be able to achieve better outcomes for the kids. Chris Papp reporting. Chris, thank you. All right, so there you have the back story, if you will, of this effort and this lawsuit, and so, again, I welcome Pastor Shannon Wright to the program. Shannon, tell me, what are the things that your group has seen in the Baltimore school system that have you so greatly concerned? Well, gosh, I don't think that your show was long enough for all that.

Top three, maybe. We have a phenomenon that I've never heard of in this amount before, GO Students, which are students that are on the rolls that have never attended classes that the district is getting money for. The inspector general did an investigation and found in one particular area in a small group of schools over 12,000 students whose grades were changed to make it look like the schools were meeting their goals to be able to continue to get their money from the state.

We have students that are graduating that are going off to college thinking that they are well educated and ready for the world, who get to college and find that they need a good year, year and a half, sometimes two years of remedial classes before they're actually at a freshman level. I could go on from there. One of the things in this, your show, Pastor Greg, is the first place I'm going to talk about this.

And if I get in trouble, you're my witness. In this report, that most recent report that was released, in the past, there were 10 schools that had zero high schools that had zero students proficient in math. In this current report, 13. Now, interestingly enough, one of the big pushes in quality education is not everybody wants to go to college, so we need to increase technical and vocational. Now, in Baltimore City, most of the tech and vocational programs are built through the schools. Now, for personal reasons over the last year or so, I've had the opportunity to really dive into more than I ever wanted to learn about the medical field. And a specific I'm going to give you, and it's all verifiable, in the dialysis field, a lot of the techs that work in Baltimore City and surrounding areas come through the vocational programs based in Baltimore City. Most of these programs are based at high schools.

The largest one, the biggest program that comes from a conglomerate of merged high schools that they formed a skill center specifically to be able to include these medical, technical, vocational skill sets is on that list of students with zero proficiency. Now, how does that work out for you? For the patient, it's got to be, I mean, and the family of patients, that has to be a very scary statistic. And we just discovered this two days ago, literally two days ago.

It has not hit media yet, so you are literally the first to use this. And so the technical, supposed technical training that these individuals are supposed to receive so that they can, because, and you know, I know people hear about dialysis as an example, and that's what we're talking about here. But explain to people what exactly is taking place when someone goes in for dialysis.

Oh, boy. So just basically dialysis, the dialysis machine and process replaces the filtering and cleaning that your kidneys would do. So your blood is removed, cleaned, and put back in. Now, that means the person that's running that treatment has your life in their hands. Right. No, you said it. I mean, you gave the high level view that I was looking for. I mean, you're basically folks, you know, this individual, because we know that, you know, life is in the blood, biblically life is in the blood, but scientifically, medically, you drain the blood out of someone and they're dead.

I mean, that's the end, it's over. And so you have someone now who is pulling all of the blood out of the patient so that it can be cleaned because the kidneys are not working properly. And this individual come to find out, is attending a school that is not providing them with all of the necessary skill set, knowledge and understanding to be able to deal with the significance of what is happening. That's scary.

It's very scary and it should be scary to everyone that's listening and hears this. You know, if you can't do basic, basic math, if you're not proficient in basic math, be able to do two plus two or six times ten. That means the thought of things like critical thinking are nowhere even near the table.

Forget on the side of the table, they're nowhere near the table. So when you have folks that are working in critical industries that cannot get the basic foundation, you cannot build those next levels. It's when you build a building, you've got to make sure those four corners, those pillars are strong for that foundation. And when they're not, you're not going to have a success rate. When you're not teaching reading, writing, arithmetic, when you're not teaching the basic issues and the basic skill sets that are needed academically to be able to function and then advance.

Now you're sending these young people out basically to fail. And then and then we wonder why we have, you know, crime rates, why we have abortion issues, why we have pregnancy issues, why we have drug issues, why we have all of these other problems that are there. And in addition to that, what are they spending their time doing? They're spending their time telling everybody that they should all hate one another, right? That they should have disdain for one another.

And everything is predicated then on creating this emotional perversion. Oh, and then let's not forget the fact that we got a question because we certainly can't say we're he's and she's anymore. We're we're some some other form. And we're not giving we're not giving them any form of education. We're just filling their minds with a whole bunch of garbage. So, you know, I this just popped in my head. If indeed we were providing and I'm gonna get in trouble for this for some of the folks in Baltimore, but that's OK, if we were actually providing a proper educational and academic foundation, some of the issues of he, she, we, they, them, the other over there and all of that would be solved by one, a science, understanding and foundation. You know, now, Pastor, Pastor, hold on a minute. OK, when it when it comes to that part of science, you can't follow the science when it comes to the lies about science, you know, like, I don't know, forced vaccines and experimental drugs and so on.

Now you better. So, I mean, it's, you know, it's follow the science that we want you to follow that isn't real science. It's the pseudo science, just like it's it sounds to me like they're providing a pseudo education. It's pseudo something alright.

And they're about to get pseudo'd. So with regards to that, we had issued an ultimatum. In this process, we found other folks that were preparing to file lawsuits as well. We there has been a lawsuit filed. We sat in conference.

I couldn't tell you how many hours trying to figure out the best path forward. And we decided instead of going class action first to go taxpayer first, showing that we're not getting a return on our investment from our taxes. So the suit was filed on those grounds. The actual named complaints were two parents with currently have children in Baltimore City public schools. Fortunately for us, our children are older and out of school and we actually had the ability and I'm not even sure how, but we had the ability to homeschool before homeschool was even a thing. But for all the parents that can't do that, that don't have that option, the public schools have to function.

They just, they have to effectively. Yeah. Yeah. You know, if you're a parent that that does everything you can to get your child into one of the better schools in the city and your child graduates and they may get a scholarship. Now that scholarship does not cover for the most part remedial classes.

So if your child graduates with a Baltimore City diploma, gets accepted into college based on their GPA, gets there and cannot perform at grade level, that year and a half to two years is coming out of your pocket. Yep. Or they have to come home. Yes. Or they have to come home.

And now. And then you're in a place where you're sent back home with your tail between your legs and your head down. Your self-esteem is messed up. Your ability to earn is messed up. You're even understanding who you are and thinking you knew so much about yourself that you now don't know what's real and what's not is why we see a lot of the issues, the socioeconomic issues that we see in the city. And it stems from not having a good foundation, whether it's a family foundation, biblical foundation, an educational foundation. Most things in the Bible are in threes.

And those three right there are needed to build a solid foundation for any human being. Well, and then what happens is, is then people get caught up in, you know, okay, I'm a victim and now I'm a victim and I need to find somebody to blame for my victimhood. And they do a really good job of masking who's really responsible.

And that's what you're doing. You're saying, wait, we're going to get this at the root because the root responsibility is the public education. I saw a reel yesterday of a woman who went into, it looked like a high school class. And the woman had taken one of those pride flags and put it over a map of the United States. It was supposed to be a history class. And I assume that her son had said, you know, Mom, they're not teaching us history.

They're they're they're forcing this agenda on us. So she came in, saw it, grabbed the flag and pulled it off of the American map and threw it and went to throw it in the garbage and told the teacher, look, I am a taxpayer. You take my tax money and you're teaching garbage. Now, start teaching real history and start doing your job. And and oh, and and, you know, and the teachers are going to call security on you and start to go in.

And you could hear the kid in the background going, don't talk to my mama like that. You know, I mean, this is what they're doing, folks, in these public education indoctrination houses in many of these instances. And this is what you're talking about. They're not teaching these children truth and they're not giving them the skill sets that they need in order to be successful. When you have a school, a high school that, let's say, let's round down the numbers, 500 students. And you have of those 500 students, zero proficient in math.

What are you doing? And, you know, a lot of folks say, don't blame the teachers. We have a lot of good teachers. And yes, there are a lot of good teachers. But if you have a school building with zero students proficient, what are you doing? This is systematic. This is wide scale. This is horrific because you have maybe, you know, 40 or 50, 60, 70 percent proficient.

OK, but you've got zero. Yeah. You can't tell me you're doing the right things. Yeah. You just. Well, and then and then so so when when you see this, how do they respond? Who do they blame? Well, it's not our fault.

It's who I mean, who who do they point the finger at? We haven't had that. You know, we haven't been able to recover the the the ground loss, the academic ground loss since the pandemic. But this started long before the pandemic.

Yeah. This started long before the pandemic. The pandemic is the current excuse. When you look at OK, when you look at how many adults in this city are illiterate and illiterately cannot read and write. And you look back to and you count back for those that have an education outside of Baltimore City. And you count back the age of these folks to when they would have been in school. You get a better idea, a sense of how long these schools have been broken. So you can't tell me that it's it's not the administration. It's not one person responsible. You can say that. But in good leadership.

It stopped somewhere. So if you're the superintendent of schools and you're making almost half a million dollars a year, leading the largest district that is also on the bottom list of the state. And by and this woman makes approximately twenty thousand dollars less than the New York City chancellor of schools, who has about 10 times as many students that are actually proficient and graduating.

Does that work? Did somebody who graduated from Baltimore City, one of those schools, do the math to figure this is what she should get paid for? We're not educating children and making sure these kids are getting an education. Come on now.

It sounds like the same kind of math proficiency that they have with the 500 students that you describe. We're we're we're at the end of our time. And I apologize for that. But very quickly, what is the best Web site for people to go to to get more information about what we're what we're talking about here? So you can go to urban engage dot org. You can also follow me on Facebook. Pastor Shannon Wright on Facebook.

And for anybody that's listening to your show and reaches out to me on Facebook, I will send you the list of all of our social media to follow us. We are going to be really active and visible and vocal about this education issue. This is that fixing this fixes so many other issues in the city. So this is well, and I think the other thing just very quickly in the final moment here as we close this, folks that I just want to say to it. We're talking specifically with Pastor Shannon Wright here today about Baltimore.

But let's be clear. This is not just a Baltimore issue. This is a nationwide problem that is happening in America's education system all across the country, all across the country. And I applaud you, Pastor Wright, for what you and your organization urban engage dot org are doing by calling these people to account. We've tried to vote them out. We've tried to go to school board meetings.

We've tried all of that. And they've called us domestic terrorists. OK, well, that now we're going to go to court. Now we're going to take them to court and we're going to hit them right where it counts. We're going to hit them at their money. We're going to hit them and we're going to hit them at their dollars and cents.

And maybe we're going to get their attention. I applaud you and I thank you for what you're doing. And I just say, Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I ask you to give them favor. I ask you to suspend every every plan and plot of the enemy to block this in the name of Jesus Christ. And I ask Father God that light shine upon and expose the darkness. And I thank you, Father God, that in the light there is victory through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen. God bless you, Pastor Shannon. Thanks for being with us today. All right, folks, we're going to take our break. Luke Macias joins us. Another case of injustice, the the impeachment of Attorney General Ken Paxton.

He has been acquitted. But now where do we go? We'll talk about it coming up in the next hour. And don't forget, bottom of this next hour, we're live in India with our service. We'll be back with more Children Generation Radio dot com. Children Generation Radio dot com on Children Generation Radio. Coming up right after this brief break.
