The Crisis in Education

TWNow Webcasts (audio)

The American educational system is sacrificing our next generation to financial slavery. If this sounds like an exaggeration, just consider these figures. Today, there are approximately 50 millions student loan borrowers. The typical student borrower owes $17,000, but around 2.5 million people owe at least $100,000 on their school bill. The number of people in default on their bill is more than 7 million. But according to a Wall Street Journal article just a few days ago, the U.S. has 101 people who owe at least $1 million in federal student loans. How can we do this to our next generation? One of the major responsibilities of every generation is to prepare their children for a successful life. How can we expect the next generation to prosper with this crushing burden of debt? Sadly, the financial crisis in education is only part of the problem. Our program will begin with this issue and then move to the spiritual crisis. Our educational system and philosophy has cast aside the moral compass, leaving our next generation without direction in a dangerous new world.
