captioned by closed captioning services, inc >> glenn: now, we're getting into some action tonight. hello, america. there was a report out this week that only 22% of eighth graders pass basic civics test in the country. the conclusion: millions of young americans will be unprepared to be informed and engaged that a healthy citizenry and healthy democracy requires. the news last sunday came out of ubl's death, the number five search on google was who's that? 25% of all searches overall on ubl came from those under 24. that means kids growing up today don't know who the most wanted man in the world is.

should have seen some of the searches. why did they kill him? and why does it matter? what did he ever do to anyone? you want to know what they do know? global warming. new yale study says 57% of teens understand that global warming is caused mostly by human activities. is it really now? we also have two girl scouts in michigan leading a campaign against their organization cookies saying the heavy use of palm oil contributes to destroying the rain forest and killing endangered species like orangutans. keep killing the orangutans. the cookies are yummy. so they have 57,000 signatures. but out in california, groups of teens are now suing the government for not protecting the earth. and they're planning marches across the globe. they wrote on their website "our climate, our future, our revolution." they say, "youth have the moral authority and the legal right as the generation most

affected by the climate crisis to demand that our government protect the atmosphere for our future." i showed you yesterday a tucson school, tucson school board meeting that got out of hand. the kids chained themselves to desks, pounding their fists. the meeting was rescheduled. the situation the second time turned out so ugly that riot police had to be called in. this is all over a cancellation of mexican-american studies class. uh-huh. that class is teaching the kids how to overthrow the government and take the state back to mexico. school used to be a place to learn. not just history, science, math. but discipline and respect for authority. our educationm system put social justice and political correctness above our education, and our children are not only being short-changed, they are being

turned in to slaves eventually. take a listen to the complaint about the educational system. these are some of them. education policies written by politicians and special interest groups. eliminate teachers' tenure, and eliminate the last hired, first fired policy. bias and distortion in textbooks. teachers unions are just powerful political machines. frustration of the political activity of the nea they are removing god and the bible out of schools and replacing him or it with intellectual neutrality. there are no morals taught in schools. huge retirement packages people say. the teachers pensions are a problem. not allowing children to fail in our schools. board of education is controlling what to teach and when they teach it. schools have become too politically correct. this is a group of complaints not from parents but from teachers.

the complaint directly from teachers. brave teachers. sitting in the audience tonight. this is an audience tonight made up of teachers. first of all, how many are in a union? how many are comfortable saying you are in a union on television? i mean on this show. i mean everything you say, you're toast. get everybody's name and phone number. if their car explodes, we'll know it's because of the show. i want to talk to you and normally, we don't have this much dialogue with the audience. you are a group of people i want to talk to. we just had a woman talk to us, we have her on next week, i believe. she is a liberal democrat. i'm sure she agrees with almost everything i say on this program. but she is, she went to look into what was going on in

tucson. where they are teaching the overthrow of government. she was horrified by what she found. she said this is completely out of control. if people don't start waking up, if teachers don't start speaking out or gathering together in other groups besides their unions. we're going to lose quickly here. anybody else feel that way? kathleen, why do you feel that way? >> i'm not currently teaching. i'm a former teacher. i'm now homeschooling mom because of the problems with public education have just become to me, something that teachers have to constantly battle. you are not allowed to teach academics, the subjects have been pushed aside because of the political agenda and things that the groups have. parents unfortunately have very little understanding of what is actually going on, on a day-to-day basis and it's kind of -- we need to get

together and say enough is enough. >> glenn: who here thinks good deal of the problems lie with the parents? okay. you in the second row, why? >> where i teach, the parents are non-existent so when they come to us, they're product of their environment. for to us change that, it's difficult they are not getting reinforcement anywhere. >> glenn: i can't see your name. christopher, go ahead. >> i totally agree. we are coming from a society where the family values are not taught anymore. but, the buck needs to stop with us in the schools. we can't make excuses. this is a reality. >> glenn: i have to tell you, i think the parents a lot of times are at fault. but you know the fastest way to fix that? discipline in the school? >> educate them. >> glenn: morals, values? >> it's all gone, i mean we

used to be able to teach the -- our country was based on god and the bible. that's why they came over here. religious reasons. now we can't tell kids that anymore. we can't tell them about the "ten commandments." thou shall not steal, period. >> glenn: the best way to fix is it a voucher system. >> that would be fantastic. >> i would love a voucher system. >> why? >> i have been paying school taxes and then i send my kids from -- >> glenn: no, no no. no, no, no. i'm talking about how to fix the parents. why would it fix the parents? >> because if they choose to go to a certain school, it's the families and the students that want to be there. i work at a charter school and i see the difference. families want to be there. they choose to go there. >> glenn: look, here is the thing. i mean i'm a recovering slug.

before i sobered up, i sent the kids to school, they're going to learn something. what are they teaching you in school? that mentality. i sobered up and i was like i have a responsibility here. i remember going to the school and second grade. second grade, my daughter and i asked the teacher, do you have like a syllabus? she said no. i said could i get some of the textbooks? i want to read and i want to know where you are so i can help reinforce. she looked at me and said, "mr. beck, mr. beck. we've it go. we're okay. we're okay. we'll teach your daughter." i said excuse me, you work for me. i don't work for you. i was shocked because i thought the teacher would be happy to have somebody get their child all ready and be reinforcing it at school. but parents, most parents, because we're all busy and everything else, we think well, you've got it.

that's why you guys talking most yourselves, or talking in unions is not strong enough there is a lot of parents out there now, like me, that don't know. until you guys came here, i didn't know we could get this many teachers who are currently in a union to show up. i really didn't. we have no idea. yes, sir? can i call you "glenn "? >> yes, sir. >> glenn: call me fred! >> what you did with your daughter is absolutely right. you should go in and demand a syllabus. where i teach -- i have been teaching 30 years and i've been paid i don't know how many times to reinvent the wheel. that's what i think. we have a curriculum, it's a thorough curriculum, but somebody, somewhere, comes up with a new idea. oh, we have to do it this way now. it's a total waste of taxpayer money. i'm a taxpayer, too. i see a lot of waste in the

schools. >> glenn: of course. >> and i don't know somebody sitting somewhere coming up with these vocabulary terms and the jargon. it's a waste of money. i was just at a workshop, doing crick lum mapping. i wrote the curriculum. half of it. it's my department about two years ago. i was paid to do it. at the end of the seminar, the lady sid what did you think of this? i had the binder under my arm. this thick. i wrote half of that, two years ago. this is all redundant. it just annoys me because i'm a taxpayer, too. i see the waste. i see the waste. >> glenn: you're in a job where you have to be frustrated. i feel bad for teachers. not all teachers there are teachers up there saying this is how you teach marxism and this is how you teach communism. i know all teachers are not along. just because you're in a union doesn't mean you are a bum or marxist. a lot of it comes from the

top. most people deny it's at the top. but they say we're not like that. you have the union pressures here, political pressures here, pressure from out-of-roll parents. you're in an impossible situation. impossible situation. snow? >> we are operating under something called no child left behind now. i don't know how you achieve that with vouchers when you skim off the parents who care. that's great. everybody wants parents who care. what about the core that is left behind? the problem with philadelphia and baltimore is not the schools. the problem is philadelphia and baltimore. it's a culture breakdown. i think we are attacking the wrong problem. i don't know how we make the matchup work anymore. >> glenn: i tell you, i lived in philadelphia. i don't know how you solve philadelphia, that is a

culture problem. it's complete meltdown. and you're exactly right. just the name, no child left behind is such bull crap i don't know what to do. no child left behind. help me out on that. sorry. not physically. we care for people, we take care of people that can't take care of themselves. but you know what? you got "f"s. you flunked. you are doing it over again. no child left behind. we are slowing our children down for the group and collective salvation doesn't work. josh? >> i think that is exactly right, glenn. i think one of the issues that we have is we're working when you said about teacher frustration, regardless of the political affiliation, it's hard for me to think of a teach they're loves going to their job on a daily basis because of the stress and pressure. >> glenn: right. >> but we are operating on a system that 30, 40 years ago maybe you could have gotten

away with it because parents were more involved. now you have a situation where it's a conveyor belt operation, where you send your kids to school in first grade and they go to school 180 days. they move to second grade. regardless of how much they achieved or the mastery or proficiency, that is not the constant. the constant is the time. the learning is not there. until we address it as a system, i don't know how it will change. >> glenn: how many people think you are only preparing for test results? i mean, kind of? the testing to me is part of no child left behind. the testing is abizaid -- is an absolute nightmare. i'm not a teacher and i'm not responsible for someone to have a successful life with the journey i'm on but i couldn't care less about the dates that a war happened.

who cares? tell the story. you can't tell that. all the test seems to be dates. what is the difference? it's almost as if it's written for kids to go i hate history. right? yes. >> with the testing, you are replacing civic -- the reason kids don't know civics is nobody teaches it. you have to teach reading and math. reading and math. i was in a school, we had 36 business teachers. evening was business. entrepreneurship, business law. now there is one. everything has been removed. all the subjects, less vocational education because it's math and reading because of the testing. testing. testing. >> glenn: i happen to know the chairman of the board of the wharton school of business. cow know the number one problem they have in the wharton school of business? they have a lot of people who want to go there. anybody know?

they cannot get the students at wharton to answer the question why would this be wrong to do? ethics. they will say is this wrong? the students will say well, did they make money? yes. well, then it's good. there is no ethics. and the schools are working, all of them across the board. there is no right and wrong anymore. can you as teachers teach right and wrong? you try. how? yes. go ahead, chris. >> one reason why, i think, when you talk about shaping policy and school reform, the teachers really don't seem to have much of a say in shaping the policy of the school reform. when you have people outside

the field making decisions it's hard to connect everything up. >> glenn: who is making the decisions? >> politicians. people outside the field. the teachers don't have a voice. not getting to say the things we need to focus on in terms of the policy, reform. >> glenn: what would be the, what would you say is the biggest thing that -- if anybody had a grand unifying theory here to fix it, what would it be? yes. >> i think it all comes down to it's not an education problem. it's a values problem. excellent teachers create excellent students. i'm a union person. but i believe that the unions have drasticallydy leng wished the quality of --dy link wished the quality of excellent teachers. how do you expect students to expect greatness when we demand mediocrity from the teachers? >> glenn: here is my problem -- hang on, laura.

you disagree and i do, too, with that. see if it's the same thing. i've met a lot of great teachers. great teachers. but i have also had a fourth grade teach for my oldest daughter, she came back and she actually said dad, this was made by japs. i said excuse me? she said, "this was made in japan. they are an enemy of ours." i said what are you talking about? she said, "well, my teacher, we were learning about world war ii and she said even though we won, they're still not friendly." i went to the principal and said do we have somebody stuck in 1941? this person was tenureed and theycouldn't get rid of her. it was a nightmare. i don't think you have -- i met a lot of great teachers. the problem is those great teachers have to drag along

all the bad teachers. laura, we'll go to you next. hang on. i have to take a break. part of my job is teaching my patients how to take insulin.

but i've learned lot from patients who use flexpen. flexpen comes pre-filled with the insulin i take i live my life on the go and need an on-the-go insulin. i don't need to carry a cooler with flexpen.

>> glenn: we are back with a full hour who teachers, we'll get back here in a few minutes, would like your help. teachers around the country, we'll give you ideas on what you can do to join up with each other. laura, you seemed a little glum. >> you can have all the excellent teachers that you want but i know that i used to make a difference in the education of my students. they would come back, i know that. recently, i have been handed a curriculum and i've been told exactly how to teach, every single day. >> glenn: does even else feel that way? >> i have to have small group work every day.

large group, whole class work every day. i have to ask them a critical thinking question of the day, every day. it's group work. group work. group work. so the child's grade doesn't depend on what they do individually. i don't know how to teach that way. i have adapted but when my door is closed -- >> glenn: you follow that. >> i follow that. i follow that. i can tell you i follow that. >> glenn: we all believe you, too. >> there is more whole group in small group. that's how i have to teach. >> i have to tell you. everybody in television, and

they still tell me every day the show can't work, glenn. the show can't work. i know, but it does. we're either number one, number two, or number three every single night. i use chalkboards. that's so outdated it's incredible. when i first started, they had this whole graphic thing they were going to do where i could take the minority report and do this. it was a hologram. i never figured that out. just get me a chalkboard. it shouldn't work. it won't work. if someone else replaces me, it won't work they'll probably use them but it won't work. it's who i am. we are devaluing the individual. you have to teach the way you are. we have to say laura, your students are dumber than a

becomes of rocks when they finish the year. we have to find ways to teach. josh, you brought up a great issue. >> we never asked the question why do we educate in the first place? are we educating so we can be good employees? a lot of kids i see in school -- >> glenn: how do you answer that question? >> we have to get to where do we find meaning in life? if you hold to naturalistic philosophy of things we're just here. like you said we're a blob here. that doesn't provide meaning. >> glenn: i know, because that wouldn't work. i don't know what your philosophy on life is. i don't want you teaching my children what. >> somebody is talking about critical thinking. >> i start the year talking about logic go through the laws of logic and critical thinking and question things in a logical manner so you can arrive at it and an informated decision.

lack of critical thinking. even why am i sitting in class? so i can go to a good school, or i'm here because i have to be here and i'll wait until i'm 17 so my parents sign me out. >> glenn: how many feel like it's babysitting, pit stop that you have to do. you have to go to the school and sit there? one of my daughters said to me i said what did you learn in school today? she said oh, um, well, i don't remember, let's see. i got on the bus and i talked to so-and-so. on and on and on. got through the whole thing. i said okay, next part? she got in the school. then the teacher talked. and then we had lunch. we -- i said wait go back. what did the teacher talk about? she said, "i don't know. that's her time." i corrected that. how many people feel like most of a lot of your students come in because they have to be

there? so it's a pit stop and they don't know why they're there? really? hardly anybody. small number of people. andrew? >> what frustrates me as a teacher most is politicians and profession, that makes it harder for to us do our job, harder if us to have respect. i think we can do it at times but they are antiunion. >> glenn: no? >> yes. andy stern, is this part of your power of persuasion or persuasion of power? so you have a problem with the bashing of teachers? >> yes. i am a new jerseyen, so you're probably aware of governor christie. he is not very fond of teachers. >> glenn: hang on, you disagree. julie? >> i'm a teacher in new jersey, too.

i was embarrassed when i went to the union meeting how he wanted the teachers to take a pay decrease for a year. i said why not? if it would save jobs of my colleagues, yes. our union stood up and said nope, he is a bully and he should tax people making over $400,000. it was embarrassing to me, that how educators talk about him in an unfair way and distorting things. i don't think when the union in wisconsin was acting that way in their own state capitol building they did themselves any favors for public relations. i don't worry so much about -- >> glenn: i worry honestly, i worry about julie on what you are saying here. i worry about teachers because the unions, it's a political machine. make no mistake. afl-cio is a political machine. you know, trumka says he meets with somebody at the white house every single day. he is the most frequented

guest at the white house. before that, it was andy stern when we got healthcare. this is a political machine going on. if the teachers don't stand up and say whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, i mean i may agree with the politics in the white house, or disagree with the politics of the white house. but you separate them here. because this is different. i think if teachers don't start standing up -- that's why i'm pleased that you are here. not saying that you are against the union bus i'm glad you're here because parents and citizens need to see that there are teachers out there that are saying enough. this is crazy what is going on. hang on a second. back in a minute. #   

i'm patti ann browne.

the white house delivered a special message to our troops today. >> you are the most capable warriors in the history of the world. >> the president and the vice president met privately with the navy seal team behind sunday's bin laden operation, thanks them for a job well done. the leaders were then greeted by more than 2,000 soldiers in a ceremony at fort campbell, kentucky. taliban is warning that bin laden's death will boost moral and encourage war with america and the nato allies. you can read more about president obama's meeting with the navy seal team on foxnews.com. glenn beck returns in a moment. but first, bret previews "special report." >> bret: coming up, new unemployment figures are a mixed bag. what does it tell us about an economic recovery? and the operationm details of the bin laden raid and how the administration handleed them. join me in 25 minutes for "special report." but now back to glenn beck. ♪ ♪

>> glenn: i don't think we are going to find any consensus here at all. this is a studio audience full of teachers, passionate teachers. it's good to know that there are the teachers throughout that are standing up for your right to be an individual and teach the way you feel is the most effective. or to say no, wait a minute, we do have to be more logical. or say no, well, wait a minute, i don't think christie is or joe, what was your statement here? >> unions don't behave perfectly. no organization i have ever been in has gone without disappointing me at some time. whether it's my union, whether it's my company, whether it's my church, whether it's my family and frankly sometimes myself. we have don't behave perfectly. i don't think the union is the

political machine you claim. apparently by the results of the last election. >> glenn: hold on a second. just wait. i'll let you finish. do you watch the show? >> yep. >> glenn: you watch the show? >> yep. not all the time, but a lot. >> glenn: how many here have seen the things i've shown from the unions where they are in bed with communists and marxists? okay. so, you have seen it. so when i say a political machine, i don't necessarily mean that they are trying to get somebody elected. that machine has made the decision, up a at the top -- i don't think the union members have, but up at the top they made the decision as andy stern said and richard trumka, workers of the world unite they are moving toward different political machine than our republic. that is what i mean. they are clearly indoctrinating and using whatever button they can push on people to unite them and get them to push in that direction do you disagree with that?

>> welcome to world of union and lobbyists. >> it's a problem if you're union and lobbyists. >> in pennsylvania, half the teacher that voted, voted for republican governor corbett. i have don't think they realized what he had in mind for education, outright destruction, but they went that way nonetheless. what i don't see is where the union held me back from being a great teacher. it doesn't affect me in my classroom. it work with great teachers. maybe i'm lucky. i think i am. we work in a great district. we're allowed to do things. i came in, the first few years and i have done outrageous things, as dave can tell you. i have had heated political discussions in the faculty room. trust me, i hold my line on issues but i've been accepted nonetheless. i have don't think it's a monolithic machine you are talking about. it doesn't prevent me from being a good teacher. >> glenn: i'm not saying that. i'm not saying it at your level. i'm saying -- can anybody explain this? up here. go ahead.

>> i totally disagree. i also teach in the state of pennsylvania. i did vote for governor corbett and i'm proud of that. and i have to say, if this is not a political machine, the unions generate $2 billion a year. from our dues we have to contribute. if it's not a political machine why doesn't the money go to education. >> glenn: you have seen the head of the union we played his farewell speech and he said look, we can all say we are here -- talking to the unions. we can all say we're here for the kids. remember the speech? who was the speech? nea president. yeah. we're here for the power. not about the kids, it's about the power. >> it abilities the teachers going back traditionally with women and teaching.

teachers would get exploited and how do you protect rights of the teachers when you don't have the solidarity and collective bargaining. >> i'm not against -- believe it or not, i just talked to my mother-in-law, i have told the story before, was arrested on a union march with jesse jackson. okay? i just told her just the other day, she said man, our school is out of control. i said mom, i will march with you. she works at yale. they treat their employees like garbage. unions, i'm not against unions. i'm against corporations, being so wildly out of control with no one watching over them. there is no stop. right now, call the police on g.e. who are you going to call? who are you going to call? all the way to the white house, there is no one to call, because they're all in bed. okay? if somebody is abusing the system and the corporation, or in school or whatever, and there is no union, who are you

going to call? what are you going to get another job? you're not going to get another job. you know what i mean? it's the balance of things. when unions become too powerful, they get out of control. when business becomes too powerful, out of control. it's do the right thing. that's what is not being taught anymore. yes, in the back. >> a couple of things. our unions, the u.f.t., i work and teach in new york city. and a lot of times it's problems with the older buildings, asbestos, pcb, things of that nature. the u.f.c. has come to the defense of the kids. stopping work, making sure the school is a safe environment to learn in. so, they do some good as well. i agree with you, they have become a large political, powerful machine in my school, there are a lot of people that don't agree with their political agenda. they are out there. people are afraid to speak up. >> glenn: your money speaks

louter than your words. josephine? a very long microphone. >> i believe we need competition. when you are in business, you want a good product, you have competition. >> glenn: unions are squashing the competition. you don't want competition, joe. >> that's not true. >> glenn: okay. >> that's a distortion. i'm saying i come from business, a former chief financial officer, i understand economics. i'm a capitalist, believe me. >> glenn: just not in education. >> here is the deal. here is where the business model fundamental breaks down and i can go on for two hours about this. give you an example. in business if your revenue is down 20%, what do you do? what do you do? >> glenn: you fire or cut back or. >> but you don't need as many people to deliver service, product, service, administrate. our revenues are cut by 15% do we get rid of 15% of our kids? no. we keep them. >> glenn: go ahead. >> trim the fat, too. >> there is not nearly as much fat in education. >> glenn: no, no, no.

>> believe me there is not nearly. >> glenn: who agree with that? not enough fat to cut -- there's not a lot of fat to cut in schools? right. >> there is some, sure there is fat in every profession. >> glenn: yeah. >> business, you basically, you bring stuff home from work. people do it all the time in teaching, we take stuff from home and bring it in. >> glenn: let me tell you something, though. >> because my kids go to -- have gone to christian schools. >> glenn: exactly right. >> i teach at a christian school and we have become highly resourceful teachers. we have end up reusing everything from the scrap paper we cut in half for tests. >> glenn: back in a minute.

>> glenn: i have a feeling we could go two or three hours with this tonight. it's just starting to get

warmed up. we're with teachers, many union members and talking about how what is going on with our schools and how to fix it. >> pennsylvania, not a right to work state. the teachers have to join union and pay dues. you can opt out but you have to pay dues either way. they don't ask our opinion about what is going on at the national level or the state level. it's no representation for the -- >> glenn: that is what it's supposed to be, representation. yes, dan. >> i have a toddler, about to enter into kindergarten and i am listening to everybody here, just concerned that she will not be coopted to some sort of a political machine. it brought a book with me today from 1933, german propaganda book, where the children would collect photographs and fill them in the book and look how great the heroes of the nazi party

are. i see it already where my daughter is in pre-k and comes home with coloring pages and some of the pictures are people sitting in traffic. it's supposed to be a thumbs up or a thumbs down. now why is that a thumbs down or thumbs up? why is it on the page? she is in pre-k. >> glenn: you are already seeing it, too. >> i'm already seeing it. >> glenn: one of the guys that works with me, -- joe, how old was your daughter when this happened? i think she was about eight. came back and reading about che. and he looked at it and said whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, wait, wait, wait. they were teaching all of these revolutionaries and the marxists and it wasn't marxist study. it was really people who changed the world. that is a real problem. >> washington cut down the cherry tree. complete farcical story, no such thing at all. why not tell a story where he was pushed to the ground and

the next day instead of fighting, he stuck his hand out. i dishonored you and i apologize. i had three teachers i can solidly remember when i went to school. one taught me discipline, one taught me honor and the other taught me self-reliance. those are the three teachers i remember as if i had them yesterday. everyone else is a blur. because i remember hearing from teachers on and off about different political aspects they believed in. it just didn't make sense to me. >> glenn: i have to tell you. i think we're so concerned about teaching, about bullying. in fact, let me take a quick back and come back. it want to start there on bullying.  

>> glenn: you know, i was going to talk about bullying, because me personally, we spend so much time on bullying in schools and it doesn't make any sense because we're also seeing bullying all the time being rewarded. in real life. sorry, the capitalist system works every time. in this case, bullying and the

capitalist system are uniting and it's called youtube. youtube is making them a star. bullying is winning. i would rather talk -- actually, julie had a question about how are we going to change this? you feel like you are alone. >> within the four walls of my classroom, i do my job and i do what i know is right. teach my children patriotic songs. what do i do beyond that? i mean i get email, talk with my superintendent last year when we were asked to make cuts i will do this. i think we should, but when so many around you are saying sit down, sit down, sit down, what do you do? >> glenn: you have to stand up. you are. you're being here. but the ones who are going to win, and will actually have power in the world is those
