The Collapse of American Education 

In this 26-minute video, Peter Demos speaks with Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel, to uncover the deep-rooted issues within the U.S. Department of Education and their far-reaching impact on our nation’s children, families, and religious freedom. Staver argues that since its creation in 1979, the federal Education Department has presided over America’s dramatic slide in global educational achievement rankings, while becoming a tool for political gain and ideological enforcement — particularly those targeting faith-based schools and parental authority. More than a critique, this conversation is a call to abolish the department, return control to states and parents, and reignite educational freedom grounded in truth and results.
