i remember reviewing a book some time ago about the change in textbooks. history textbooks.d the writer there said that if you were to look at the updated textbooks, you know, postseminis -- postfeminist textbooks, it would sound like it was entirely colonized by women, actually girls, girls and their participants. so there's no question that there's that going on. you know, there has been this feminization. it is possibility true that boys need more structure than girls because they are more restless, physical lyresless. because they also seem to like competitive, game-like education. i've heard from a number of teachers if you can arrange things so your child, your boy, knows that if he reads a certain numbers of books he gets a certain kind of reward, they like that kind of thing a lot. so i suppose that inas farso fas progressive education has been to the disadvantage of boys. >> right in the middle there. >> bob. junior academic. i'm going to get you to change the focus and look at the word physiology here. i saw a poll from japan that said that something like 35% of yo

i remember reviewing a book some time ago about the change in textbooks, history textbooks.and the writer there said that if you were to look at the updated textbooks, you know, post-feminist textbooks about the settling of the american -- the united states continent, it would sound like it was entirely colonized by women. [laughter] actually girls, girls and their parents. so there's no question that there's that going on. you know, there has been this feminization, i think, of earlier education. as for the progressive part, you know, i've seen girls who don't do very well in progressive education either. it is possibly true that boys need more structure than girls because they're simply more restless, physically restless, and because they also seem to like more competitive game-like education. so i've heard from a number of teachers that if you can arrange things so your child, so a boy knows that if he reads a certain number of books, he gets a certain kind of reward, you know, they like that kind of thing a lot. so suppose that insofar as progressive education really dis

this was not in the textbooks. we had nuclear power plant that had backup system upon backup system, and yet it was helpless against these huge tsunami. some interesting facts, for example, the earthquake which was a magnitude 7, this last for... the tremors lasted for a matter of a few seconds. this earthquake we just had the other day lasted for five minutes. again, beyond the experience of anyone in japan. a tsunami-- the textbooks say a tsunami comes an hour after a major earthquake. in this case, people had nine- minutes' warning before the first giant tsunami started striking the shore. this was well beyond anybody's planning design. another question is, you know, the rescue teams have been unable to get to all of the victims because they're spread over such a wide area. and japan right now is terribly depopulated. we have people living in very remote areas, particularly elderly people living in homes that, you know, just fall apart at the first sign of an earthquake. maybe we need to have people living more

you have textbook manufacturers, teachers' unions, testing companies. these are powerful groups that have a tremendous amount of influence. so the problem is that when you in education have all these interest groups out there, but there is no national, organized interest groups with the same half as the teachers' union, advocating on behalf of kids, you end up with laws, policies, and regulations that are skewed towards, for example, the teachers' unions, because they have millions of dollars and millions of people. the use those effectively on the political front. when you look at the two national teachers' unions, they have a budget of over $2 billion a year and spend $500 million of that on political activities. we are trying to raise a billion dollars, which would mean $200 million a year over the next five years. that is just a portion of what we know teachers' unions are spending on these issues. >> where is this money going to come from? when you point out the other budgets, i am a rocket scientist. but something tells me that if i were to look a

[laughter] well, these ideas that informed the glorious revolution that were cited to justify it were, basically, those that continued and were used by americans to justify their revolution in 1776. so there was real continuity. the ideas that were expressed by, well, to name a familiar person, john locke or algernon sydney, other writers of the 17th century and popular writers of the 18th century carried on, and they became basic politicalr truth for americans of the 18thi century. >> host: what were some of those

that covers tuition fees and textbooks. that is a big deal. that is a big, big deal for families. we also note that we had another problem. incredible college debt taken on by 67% of our students. i'll bet there is not one of you out there, with kids in college, where they did not graduate in debt with a greater debt than the mortgage on your first house. seriously. it is an incredible burden. that is why we capped monthly federal student loan payments at 10% of income so that borrowers do not have to worry about being crushed by the debt after they graduate. and we locked these things end. this is in the tax deal that we made during the lame duck session. we are doing a lot to make sure that cost is not a barrier to americans advancing. but our commitment does not stop there. as important as it is to get our kids to college. we need them to complete our -- their studies, going back to being prepared. more than 70% of high-school graduates and receive some type advanced degree within two years, but less than half earn a certificate or degree within six years of enrollment. we get

when you had the absence of supplies and materials -- when i taught in new york city, sometimes our textbooks still talked about john kennedy as the president. we have to rummage to find pieces of paper for our kids. we sometimes have to scavenge for tall. that does not make an education system where we help kids not just dream their dreams, but achieve them. host: we have said once out which one phone line aside for educators. you can also send us an e-mail, or joined the conversation online. gainesville, texas, you're with randi weingarten of the american federation of teachers. caller: thank you for all the guests. it seems that the context of according to do this -- can you eliminate for us -- eliminate -- minate right for work states and those that are heavily unionized? are the heavily unionized in much worse condition? guest: it is the opposite. right to work is a misnomer. it means that there are a lot of states in this nation that had very few unions or union contracts in the private sector or in the public sector. take the three states that prohibit bargaining, arizona is one of the

it's in basic textbooks. and when you take that scientific theory, basic, established more than 100 and, what is it now, 34 years old, and then you combine it with the facts as we see it, that it's been in this range of 170-300, it's now out of an 8,000-century range and climbing, and you look at some of the effects that are beginning to happen that are also consistent with that of fairly undeniable -- a fairly undeniable story begins to add up. and the day will come, i am confident, when our grandchildren look back at this moment at our unwillingness to deal with the plain scientific evidence in front of us and instead to be persuaded by merchants of doubt with big checkbooks, who have a vested interest in the outcome of this, who have a conflict of interest and we're listening to them and we're not listening to the plain facts and to the plain scientists -- science and to theories that have been known for more than a century, people will look back at us with real shame. there's no other word for it, shame a

the leadership of these two was really textbook. it could not have been done better. at the end of the day, 11 of the 18 members endorsed the findings, five democrats, five republicans, and one independent. that is as bipartisan as it can be. welcome to the budget committee. thank you for your leadership. i do not know who wants to go first. >> thank you very much. thank you senator conrad and sessions. the key for your remarks and explaining to those wonderful charts that we have been watching for many months. they have been very helpful, and you are very informative. it is a great honor and privilege to be here and to be in this chamber in these offices, and not be always inspired by the democratic experience. if that feeling ever leaves you, you want to leave. it is a great for. we have left our witness protection program, we make sporadic appearances in various locations as is today. the people are waiting for us to go back and to sequester when we leave. let me just say this. it is a treat to look around this room and see friends of both parties that i thoroughly

ipads, kindles, and nooks will replace textbooks. i realize there will be a cost to all of this but i believe if we can find the money for wars in iraq and afghanistan and military action in libya, we can find the resources to educate the american people. most importantly for $30 -- for 308 million americans we can be the afford not to. i want to put my proposals in a historical context if i can. i want to suggest that law is actually going somewhere. at points in time from the earliest civilizations, prodepress has been made incrementally toward freedom, justice and human rights. i want to put our own constitution and bill of rights into the context of vital points in time. these documents are not the end of -- end all and be all of democracy and freedom. no, mr. speaker. the very ability to amend our constitution suggests that the founders of our country see things the way i do. that the document they crafted as a landmark in human history but not perfect, it's not a final draft. so tonight, mr. speaker, i'd like to take a walk thr
