Bill O'Reilly here. You are listening to The Best of the O'Reilly Update. Way back in 2006, I wrote a book called Culture Warrior, which quickly became a number one bestseller. In that book, I put forth the goals of the progressive movement, what they really want besides power and money. Now, 16 years later, it has all come true. The far left controls the man in the White House, most TV news operations, newspapers, and Hollywood. I'd say that's a pretty impressive resume. But many Americans still don't understand the progressive language, so I am here to help. Here now, the lexicon. Social justice, that's the big one, the tent under which most minority grievances are displayed. Equity, the solution to social injustice. The government and

enterprise favoring minority groups and sometimes women. Restorative justice, the movement not to punish criminals with incarceration. This, of course, has led to thousands of murdered Americans, most of them minorities. Climate justice, the destruction of the fossil fuel industry and the allocation of massive government funds to support mostly speculative alternative energy plans. Economic justice, guaranteed salaries, and jobs. Income inequality, another big progressive tenant. This is the justification for socialism, whereby the federal government controls the money flow to Americans, taking from the haves, giving to the have-nots, with no work requirements or substance testing for the folks receiving other people's money.

Inclusion. Preference for certain social categories, i.e. gay trans minorities. Food insecurity. Free food for the poor. Housing insecurity. Free or heavily subsidized shelter for the poor. There are other far-left codes, but those are the headlines. Progressives have now reached the apex of their power, with the ill-informed having no blanking idea. about what is actually happening in this country. So this is quite the brave new world, is it not? And I don't think President Biden and Vice President Harris would object to any of the progressive stuff,

which is frightening. And know this. If progressives get what they want, there will be no safe spaces. What you have earned throughout your life with sacrifice will become a target of seizure. by a powerful government. That is the plan. Back after this. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the

dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford gold. And you can do this.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day, hurting the kids. In the 1950s, American school children celebrated the coming of summer with a poem. No more pencils, no more books, no more teachers, dirty looks. Today, the dirty looks are cast at traditional grading as much has changed in the nation's public school systems. Progressive policies that harm children are being installed around the country and few know about it because there's no media coverage. Let's analyze one of the big things, the elimination of grades. According to leftist philosophy, traditional grading is racist because some minority students are deprived and cannot compete with privileged white children.

And there is some truth to that. I saw it firsthand while teaching high school in a ghetto north of Miami, Florida. The progressive solution is to eliminate A to F evaluations and replace them with a totally subjective, does the student understand the class work mandate? That system allows the teacher vast power because there's no specific academic baseline. Also, many schools are under pressure to promote kids even if they don't know anything,

and the teachers understand that. Those who embrace this soft academic approach justify it by citing slavery, ongoing societal bias, and anti-American grievance in general. But the real reason so many minority children don't compete well in school is poor parenting. The same goes for white and Native American students. In fact, few children of any race can succeed academically if they've, live in chaotic homes with parents who do not care about them. That is the truth. And unless the public school system acknowledges that truth, children in terrible circumstances will not

prosper. I mean, how could they possibly compete with the white privilege crew? And if young Americans cannot compete, what is likely to happen to them? You don't need a PhD in math to answer that question. The largest school district in the country, New York City, spends more than $28,000 per student each year. Yet most kids cannot master math or English. The average Catholic school spends half that, and those students perform much better academically. Why? Simple. Parents who pay to send their kids to Catholic schools obviously care about academic discipline because that's what most private schools provide. Public schools often do not foster discipline, and now in New York City classroom attendance is no longer even required for academic evaluation, nor is civil

conduct. The cold reality is that progressive educational zealots are setting up deprive kids for a lifelong failure. What a colossal mistake.
