You’ve heard it before on the news, at school board meetings, in Facebook comments:
"Kids today don’t know how to do anything."
But here’s the truth, they were never given the chance.
In this fiery Wednesday edition of The Lies We Tell, host Luis dismantles the lazy narrative that blames students for lacking life skills — and exposes the politicians, media figures, and policies that engineered the failure of public education. From slashing vocational programs to pushing for-profit school schemes, the right-wing strategy isn’t about saving education . it’s about controlling it.
This episode names names, drops receipts, and calls out the real agenda:
Keep people uneducated, uninformed, and divided because ignorance is easier to control.
If you care about kids, classrooms, or the future of democracy
you need to hear this.
