The Second American Revolution

As the United States of America fights to recover from the worst financial catastrophe since the Great Depression, every citizen is struggling to identify what is the most important issue that will dictate our destiny as individuals and as a nation. Is the most important challenge reforming the stock market, more stringent oversight of our banking system, health care reform, or controlling terrorism? For many the answer lies with education. Education is the currency of freedom. It empowers ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things by shaping new skill sets for the jobs that are here and not the ones that have gone. Education will facilitate the “retooling” of America, and change must happen now. Each day the carnage continues and thousands are lost in a battle where bullets are not used as weapons. Today, our current education and training systems would receive a failing grade. This is our reality and facts are stubborn things. Join scientist, surgeon, futurist, author and social advocate Butch Rosser, MD FACS for this introduction to the Education revolution and thought provoking exchange with the former Secretary of Education, Dr. Rod Paige.
