10/16/15 - Is it OK to be Exceptional?

Last night we had Dr. David Oualaalou, Professor at McLennan College, on to speak about education.  He mentioned that we needed to have higher standards in our education and instill exceptional-ism into our students.  I agree with him, but many in Liberal/progressive circles will say this is not a good approach.  Instead, we are reminded of the now dubbed, "American Apology Tour," by President Obama.  He toured the world to inform the global residents, America is not an Exceptional country.  We are average, regular peopl, like everyone else in the world.  Sure, I'm paraphrasing, but you get the point.  Why is it so important for progressives to control the education system?  Why must we take on the "average mindset" and perform at average capacity?  Tune-in tonight at 10pm CT to listen this discussion.  I'll be taking LIVE calls tonight, so feel free to call in!
