Hide your golden calfs because I'm coming after a sacred cow today.
We're looking at the progressive history of public education.
Let's do it.
Thanks for watching No King But Christ.
I'm Adam Graham.
I have to admit that, until recently, I had never looked in depth into the history of
public education in America.
As with so many other institutions that we are familiar with and that have existed as
long as we can remember, we often take them for granted as having always been the way
they are.
But that's almost never actually the case and public education is no exception.
The state of publicly funded and run education has a long progressive tradition that extends
right to the founding era so let's take a look at how it's changed since then.
English and Early Colonial Public Education
Throughout many of the American colonies, education was the duty of the parent, as was
the English tradition.
The only public schools that existed, where they existed, were for the benefit of the
poor.
The major exception, as in many cases in American political history, was in New England.
In 1642, the Massachusetts Bay colony enacted a compulsory literacy law, breaking with the
English tradition.
It soon followed in 1647 with legislation requiring larger settlements to ordain the
hiring of teachers or founding of grammar schools.
The rationale undergirding these laws seems to have been a Puritan/Calvinist emphasis
on literacy for the proper reading of scripture and while to many Christians their motives
will seem pure and well meaning the implication throughout is also one of ensuring a Calvinist
perspective over others.
This bears itself out in some of the prevailing conditions wherein it was passed.
For instance, the Plymouth colony, an older and more religiously tolerant colony, did
not pass similar compulsory education laws.
As well, the Massachusetts Bay colony required attendance to a Congregational church and
only church members, of which membership was heavily restricted and regulated, could vote
in state elections.
This spirit and legislative tradition began to spread to Connecticut and other New England
states.
As religious diversity grew in New England, groups like the Quakers were discriminated
against and even forbidden from establishing schools.
Compulsory Education: Modern Slavery
In true Puritan fashion, Massachusetts once again led the charge in the furthering of
force in education.
In 1780, it granted legislative authority to enforce compulsory school attendance and
in 1789 that compulsion was enacted into law.
Connecticut also enacted similar legislation in 1842.
And throughout the 19th century, Massachusetts continued to up the ante against truancy,
to the extent of mandatory jailing of habitually truant children, and steadily extended educational
age and school year terms.
But though the Puritan underpinnings of public education began in New England, by 1850, all
states in the Union had a network of public schools.
The continuation of compulsory education also tracked behind New England but by 1900, almost
every state had some form of compulsory attendance.
It is my particular focus in this video to review the history of American public education
and not to disect too deeply the philosophical issues that undergird it.
But I can imagine that many will find the notion of compulsory education laws largely
unoffensive.
Suffice it to say that the notion that a child can be forced, and their parents along with
them, to pursue education that they do not desire at the subjective decision of another
is certainly not a liberal idea and a rather un-American one that was resisted elsewhere
in the Union until the end of the 19th century.
It is here that we see the influence of what is referred to as the "Prussian model".
Those familiar with many of the programs that mar American history in the early 20th century
will be familiar with the great influence which Prussian society had on the early progressives.
The Prussian model for education included compulsory attendance, permitted private schooling
only in the case that government school committee requirements were met, and established truant
schools to which truant children would be sent and possibly committed to by the courts.
The Educationist Movement
It may be noted that some well revered founding fathers like Thomas Jefferson supported some
form of publically funded education, at the very least for the poor.
Their reasoning was often that a literate and educated public was more likely to function
well within a republican form of government.
But from the very beginning of the Union, one can trace a line of succession of influential
figures who wished to use education not only to create good citizens but to inculcate their
preferred perspective on religion, authority, and the state.
One early and prescient example is that of Archibald Murphey, regarded as the founding
father of the North Carolina school system.
As early as 1816, his system envisioned that:
"all children will be taught in them...in these schools the precepts of morality and
religion should be inculcated, and habits of subordination and obedience be formed....
The state, in the warmth of her solicitude for their welfare, must take charge of those
children, and place them in school where their minds can be enlightened and their hearts
can be trained to virtue."
This mentality, previously noted as being particularly strong in New England, is an
early example of the way that progressivism has migrated and continues to migrate from
power centers to the other states, with large migrations of New Englanders emigrating to
the south and west starting in the 1820's.
This influence quickly gave rise to a group of influential education advocates known as
the Educationists.
Among their ranks were such well known names as Horace Mann, Calvin Stowe, Caleb Mills,
Samuel Lewis, and Henry Barnard.
Throughout the 19th century, their goals were to establish journals and publications meant
to influence education policy and teacher's schools and many of them successfully gained
political positions as heads of the public school boards in their states.
Their vision of the future of public education was firmly rooted in Communist ideals of forced
egalitarianism and the Prussian ideals of uniformity of language, compulsory attendance,
and anti-truant regulation.
This is also the origination of eventual removal of neutrality within the classroom in regards
to controversial material.
We are often told that because of the nature of public funding for public schools, educators
must not favor one viewpoint over another.
And as long as education was not compulsory, this neutrality was highly influential in
gaining voluntary attendance by otherwise wary parents.
But with the late nineteenth century adoption of compulsory attendance, this neutrality
no longer served a market purpose and was steadily shed, as many critics of public education
today can attest to.
Education: The Conservative Blind Spot
Among the many institutions of American civic life that progressive politics has left a
lasting impression on, education ranks near the top.
Many landmark changes in the traditional practices found in schools can be found in common refrains
from many conservatives who remember a farer time.
From the prohibition of corporal punishment, the removal of prayer, the Scopes Trial and
other similar cases of conflict regarding evolution and creationism as part of public
school curriculum, to the more current disagreements regarding sex education, standardized testing
and Common Core, many conservatives will easily find something not to like about the state
of public education today.
And yet, despite these various objections and intrusions into the preferences of so
many parents and educators, the proposed solutions are rarely ever the obvious: the drastic transition
out of publicly funded education.
A thriving marketplace full of educational options that span the gamut of consumer and
parental preferences would completely eliminate the incessant nationalization, standardization,
and politicalization of education in America.
And the increased range of choices would introduce completely new and competitive forces into
the educational landscape that would change the face of the education industry for the
better.
But education remains America's civic religion and the conflicts around public education
reveal the progressive streak in both political parties.
As strong a sentiment as the progressive desire may be for the universal removal of the teaching
of creationism from the science classroom, so strong is the similar desire for the universal
inclusion of such curriculum.
Partisans from both sides believe so strongly that their approach is necessary for future
generations that they cannot allow dissent from their desired policy, with the effective
outcome being that neither can ever truly realize their preference!
The Bottom Line As long as the state retains control of such
a fundamental aspect of society as the education of its youth, and so long as the direction
of that education is democratized, education will remain a source of conflict between communities,
to the benefit of politicians everywhere and to the detriment of students.

Milford Public Schools Chromebook Overview Video - Duration: 6:07.
Welcome to the Milford Public Schools Chromebook Overview video. In this video
we're going to show you all about your new Chromebook - so let's get started.
Your Chromebook has ports for peripherals, storage cards and more. On this side we
have a headphone or external speaker port, a micro SD card slot, one of the two
USB ports that are found on the Chromebook, as well as the USB Type-C
port. The USB-C port is very important as this is where you charge your Chromebook.
There are two of these ports on the Chromebook and either one can be
utilized for charging. On the other side of the Chromebook we have a lock port,
another USB C port which can be used for charging and another USB port.
Your Chromebook also has a built-in webcam and microphone located at the top of the screen.
The built-in speakers are located on the bottom of the Chromebook.
Ok so, how do you turn the thing on? The power button is located above the backspace key.
Like other portable computers, the Chromebook uses a TouchPad to manipulate
the on-screen cursor. Just like those other portable computers, the TouchPad
has several gestures to make navigation quick and easy. The first gesture is
tapping - tap one finger to make a selection, tap two fingers to get options
about a selection. You can scroll by sliding two fingers up and down or left
and right, as well as sliding three fingers left to right to scroll between
your open tabs in Chrome. The keys along the top of the keyboard possess special
functionality. These keys are known as Action Keys. These keys do things like
escape from a screen, go back and forward, reload a page, go fullscreen, display all
of the open apps, turn your brightness up and down, as well as mute the speakers.
So, let's go over some of the general care and precautions for your Chromebook.
Do not place anything on top of the Chromebook. When transporting always
carry the Chromebook in the bag. As far as charging, your Chromebook can be
actively used without the need to recharge for about 8 hours. Please charge
the Chromebook overnight to ensure it will have the maximum battery life for
the next day. When not in use or being charged, your Chromebook should be stored
in its bag. Let's talk about cleaning your Chromebook. When cleaning any part
of the Chromebook make sure your Chromebook is powered down. Never spray
or pour liquid directly on any part of the device. As far as cleaning the screen,
the screen should be cleaned with a microfiber cloth. Do not use excessive
force. Allow the screen to dry before closing the lid.
Never use an alcohol or ammonia-based cleaner on the screen. You can clean the
keyboard with a lightly moistened soft cloth or wipe and just wipe the key top
surface only. Ensure no liquid drips between the keys. To clean the outer
Chromebook casing, a lightly moistened soft cloth or white can be used to wipe the
outside of the Chromebook. Do not allow any liquid to drip into the ports of the
device. For information about caring for and cleaning your Chromebook, please
check the Milford Public Schools Guide To Your Chromebook document. The link is
located in the video description. Alright, so let's get logged in. Turn on
your Chromebook, click Next and then enter your district username in the

Ginsburg returns to Supreme Court bench in public session - Duration: 1:56.
Ginsburg returns to Supreme Court bench in public session
WASHINGTON AP — Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was back on the Supreme Court bench on Tuesday, eight weeks after surgery for lung cancer.
Wearing her customary black robe and ornamental collar, the 85 year old justice walked unassisted to her seat beside Chief Justice John Roberts when the court began its public session. Ginsburg smiled as the justices stood before taking their seats, but no mention was made in the courtroom of the fact that she was returning after an absence.
As she often does, Ginsburg asked the first question during the hourlong argument, and nothing about her appearance or demeanor seemed out of the ordinary. She went on to speak about a half dozen times. The case the court was hearing involves a 2011 patent law, the Leahy Smith America Invents Act, with the justices being asked to answer whether the United States Postal Service counts as a "person" under the law.
Ginsburgs first question was to attorney Beth Brinkmann, who was arguing for Alabama based Return Mail Inc. The company owns a patent that was invalidated after a challenge by the Postal Service. Ginsburg wanted clarity on Brinkmanns argument in the case. Later, Ginsburg asked attorney Malcolm Stewart, arguing for the government on behalf of the Postal Service, why it would be that the government is treated differently under the law, with the government getting "two bites of the apple" while "everybody else gets just one."
It was not clear how the case would come out, with both liberal and conservative justices seeming unsatisfied by arguments on both sides.
Ginsburg had returned to the Supreme Court building on Friday for the first time since her surgery in December, but that was for the justices private conference. She also was captured on camera on Monday by the TMZ website walking through a Washington airport.
Ginsburg was absent from the court in January as she recovered from the surgery. She missed six days on which the court heard a total of eleven arguments. But the court said she participated in the courts work during her absence.
The court will hear one more argument on Wednesday before hearing cases again on three days next week.

Public Speaking Disasters and How to Fix Them - Duration: 4:48.
Three events in the last two weeks and this is how they started. First one:
"I'm a horrible public speaker...I'm not good at this at all...I really dread
this stuff so please bear with me..." Second one: "I hope I don't take up too much of
your valuable time..." Yeah, me neither. Third one: "Oh that's how the clicker
works? Look at that! Well the organizer gave me this topic,
but I don't really know that much about it...
Hopefully I came up with something good enough for you guys for today..." Wait, what?
Three events over the last two weeks and that's how they start? Now I'm on my
mission to help people show up, engage, and connect and these were
prime examples of "connection killers." Now, I have to admit as I was watching these
speakers I thought, "Well, at least it's fodder for a video, Erin." But then I
thought--no way, Captain Obvious, I can't go on a video and say don't start your
speech like this, everyone knows that! But then I thought, well, if it happened three
times in the last two weeks for me, lord knows how often it's happening out there
so today I don't want to go in depth and how to do a public speech, but what I do
want to talk about is how to start your talk to be able to show up with power, to
engage your audience, and to create a connection. So first things first...you all
have probably heard this that your audience is rooting for you. They want to
learn from you. They drove from wherever. They're there attending the conference.
They're there in that meeting room waiting to hear what you have to say. And
they're rooting for you like champs, but then it can turn like this. And what's
going to make them turn on a dime is if you: waste their time, you're not prepared,
and you insult their intelligence. And this is what happened with those three
examples. Let's take the first one, the woman who said that, "Oh I'm a horrible
public speaker." What was really interesting is that she was actually
interesting, informative and her topic was really amazing! So
instead of thinking "I'm a bad public speaker" think: I'm here to share my
expertise. If she had owned her expertise and forgot that
first part we never would have thought that she was uncomfortable up speaking
in front of us. Second person, the whole oh I hope I'm not taking up too much of
your time. We're here, listening to you. So when you start your talk, own the space
command the room, and take that time. Now less is probably more, but if you are
powerful in two minutes or you're powerful in 20 minutes, there's no need to
apologize or to plant that seed that you're not going to be a valuable use of
their time. And the third one. The whole being cutesy and funny and
self-deprecating...Well two things on this one. First,
be prepared. Learn how to learn how to use the clicker. Know how to use their
technology. Know what you're going to say. The second one is with the humor
piece...self-deprecating humor isn't funny if it's not true. This woman had a
master's degree, she had amazing experience, and you're trying to tell me
that you can't figure out how to use a clicker? It was unbelievable. It broke the
authenticity and it made me disconnect from her because I thought she's just
putting on an act. Why am I going listen to anything else
she has to say? So in this day and age that everyone is gonna be a professional
public speaker but in my opinion everyone is a public speaker. You go to a
meeting at work and you answer a question--you're public speaking. You go to
a networking event and you talk to someone, you're public speaking. So it
really does matter how you show up with your presence. How you engage right from
the beginning, and how you make that connection. Be prepared. Don't insult
your audience's intelligence, and third make sure that you're making a good use
of their time by showing up with your expertise. My name is Erin O'Malley and
I am on my mission to help people show up, engage, and connect. You can find me at
erinomalleyconnects.com and I look forward to connecting with you soon!
