WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh April 25th 2018

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, The New York Times published an article the other

0:00:03.200 --> 0:00:07.560
<v Speaker 1>day that must have made every liberal reader orgasmic. Silicon

0:00:07.640 --> 0:00:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Valley billionaires are remaking American schools. Some of them are

0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:15.640
<v Speaker 1>offering grants to encourage innovation. Others, like Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook,

0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:19.599
<v Speaker 1>are taking a more profitable approach. He's got software in

0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:22.919
<v Speaker 1>a hundred schools which supposedly puts kids in charge of

0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:27.720
<v Speaker 1>their own learning and turns teachers into facilitators and mentors. Obviously,

0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>if his software takes off, it's a huge market and

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:34.840
<v Speaker 1>paid for by taxpayers, not Zuckerberg. Now, while these rich

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:39.639
<v Speaker 1>and influential titans of technology are focused on education, millions

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:42.640
<v Speaker 1>of students are serving as de facto beta testers for

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:46.320
<v Speaker 1>their ideas. As the Times puts it, anyway, that's shut

0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:49.159
<v Speaker 1>to bring a smile to every liberal. I mean, this

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>has all the elements, rich, successful progressive tech gurus on

0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:58.960
<v Speaker 1>federal subsidies giving back to the community beta testing their kids.

0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:02.000
<v Speaker 1>But in reality this is a damning indictment of the

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:06.040
<v Speaker 1>state of public education when all the money American taxpayers

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.680
<v Speaker 1>have poured into it for decades, we ought to have

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>the best education system in the world now, not years.

0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>In the future, and we shouldn't need these tech titans

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:18.920
<v Speaker 1>to do it. Instead, we have massive institutional failure, an

0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 1>education system that has been run into the ground Biliberals

0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.759
<v Speaker 1>and their unions in the first place, and unless that's acknowledged,

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:36.479
<v Speaker 1>new technology, no matter how great, will not turn it around.
