This book shines a spotlight on an open secret: the vast disparities among the 50 states in funding and spending on public K–12 education.
How is it, how was it, that in a country where the Fourteenth Amendment proclaims EQUAL PROTECTION under the law, we have condoned such long-running disparities... disparities that are unjust as they are inequitable?
The author contends that society’s inattentive embrace of these disparities must end. It’s time for a ‘revolt’ against the K–12 status quo. The sooner it happens, the better it will be for American democracy.

This book shines a spotlight on the last outposts of local control: America’s school boards. In this book, the author points out that running for and serving on the school board could be the adventure of your lifetime, suggesting that school board service comes with an unparalleled psychic side benefit: satisfaction from knowing that – if you do your job well – your impact will affect eternity. At the end of your term, you could discover that your participation, though confined to the local level, will have effectively strengthened American democracy.

This book is a rebuke, a reprimand, against the impoverished minds inhabiting the nation’s political landscape and putting American democracy on shaky grounds. The author argues that the antidote to this epidemic of impoverished minds is a renaissance in TRUTH education. It’ll take time. But, the author claims, it’s a sacred mission American society and the K-12 education system cannot afford not to begin.

This book is a summons to action on the part of America’s school boards, a clarion call for a K–12 curriculum that has education at its base, education in CORE DEMOCRATIC VALUES. More than ever, the need for education in civics across America’s public schools has never been more critical for the fortification of American democracy.

The purpose of this book is to rekindle – if that’s even possible – Abraham Lincoln’s fervent hope for an everlasting democracy, which he expressed in his immortal Gettysburg Address.
This book outlines a layman’s prescription for what ails American democracy and calls on America’s school boards to re-examine their school districts’ respective Mission Statements … and resolve the all-important question, ‘What’s the purpose of education?’

Why should the United States take a back seat to Switzerland, Luxembourg, and several other countries in terms of teacher pay?
The author suggests that America should plant a stake in the ground and lead the world in setting a bold and daring new standard: $100,000 as the BEGINNING PAY per year for K–12 teachers in the U.S.A., supported by federal funding ... to truly professionalize the craft of teaching in America. The author contends that there are federal dollars to be found, but only if there is political will.

This book is a common man’s indictment of the insurrectionists and their promoters for their unprecedented attack on the citadel of American democracy and their brazen attempt to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power.

Many brilliant and prolific commentators have opined that American democracy dodged the bullet in November 2020.  Certain guardrails protected the sanctity of the ballot. Assaults on American democracy failed.  But America is not out of the woods yet, as the guardrails may not be there in the 2024 elections. Events throughout 2021 and 2022 so far demonstrate, at this writing, that American democracy remains at risk.
Yet, ‘We the People'—the American people – have the power to influence history. This book offers a common man’s guide, not a silver bullet, for rescuing American democracy from the abyss.

This book is a nostalgic look at the liberal causes championed by the late Sen. Edward ‘Ted’ Kennedy. A tribute to that rare public servant who was born into wealth but who devoted his life to one of exemplary public service to the nation, especially the less privileged and less fortunate masses.
