I love Milton - how much we need him now.
This demonstrated how private schools seek out the best authorities to enhance the education of our most precious commodity, our future, our children. Not to mention, the contents was just good commonsense, which seems to be in short supply in today’s American society.

Common Sense will be Outlawed!
What a great educational piece. I’m not sure I’m smarter then a 5th grader, but congress majority for sure!
This video should be mandated in every school and viewed by every member of anything GOVERNMENT. It would even be a good idea that every person new to this country get some knowledge of this country by viewing this simple video. More efficient, mandate it to every person new to this country that has established their employment in the government.
