About this ebook

Glenn Beck, the New York Times bestselling author of The Great Reset, considers the hot-button issue of education in the US, exposing the weaknesses of the Common Core school curriculum and examining why liberal solutions fail.

Public education is never mentioned in the constitution. Why? Because our founders knew that it was an issue for state and local governments—not the federal one.

It’s not a coincidence that the more the federal government has inserted itself into public education over the years, the worse our kids have fared. Washington dangles millions of dollars in front of states and then tells them what they have to do to get it. It’s backdoor nationalization of education—and it’s leading us to ruin.

In Conform, Glenn Beck presents a well-reasoned, fact-based analysis that proves it’s not more money our schools need—it’s a complete refocusing of their priorities and a total restructuring of their relationship with the federal government. In the process, he dismantles many of the common myths and talking points that are often heard by those who want to protect the status quo:

Critics of the current system are just “teacher bashers”…Teachers’ unions put kids first...Homeschooled kids suffer both academically and socially…“local control” is an excuse to protect mediocrity…Common Core is “rigorous” and “state led”…Critics of Common Core are just conspiracy theorists…Elementary school teachers need tenure...We can’t reform schools until we eradicate poverty…school choice takes money away from public schools…Charter schools perform poorly relative to public schools.

There is no issue more important to America’s future than education. The fact that we’ve yielded control over it to powerful unions and ideologically driven elitists is inexcusable. We are failing ourselves, our children, and our country. Conform gives parents the facts they need to take back the debate and help usher in a new era of education built around the commonsense principles of choice, freedom, and accountability.

Ratings and reviews

The thing that I love about Mr Beck's books, is that they are extremely fact based. You will have a bunch of Liberals/Progressives come on here without even reading the book and put negative ratings down and put smearing comments down to try and keep people from reading it. Mr Beck more than almost nearly every other author (if not all), sources his material so you can verify it. Not only that, Mr Beck always pleads NOT to take his word for it, but to go and look and verify it yourself. So that way you know when Beck Haters, Liberals, Progressives (including many Republicans), etc., say it is a bunch of lies without any examples or proof, you know these people are Intellectually empty. Anyways, another great book Glenn, and a ton of information to educate the public as usual. Thank you Glenn!

I love Glenn Beck and his books. Agenda 21 was so captivating, scary and eye opening. I read it in just a few days then had to buy and read into the shadows. Great Job by all related to this book.

Look at the Obama zombies! Im surprised they can type. Great book by the way, just like most of his.
