About this sermon
A new report says the test scores for 8th graders in the United States in both US History and Civics are on the decline. This comes after the so-called nation's report card also recently announced that reading and math scores for 9 year olds fell to levels not seen in decades. Spokesperson for the Defense of Freedom Institute and former Press Secretary for the US Department of Education, Angela Morabito, joins to take us inside these numbers, how they are compiled and how concerning this is. Most 8th graders are only a handful of years away from being able to vote in an election. Morabito tells us what the reasons are for these low scores and whether there are any signs they might improve. On another note, we are still in the public comments period for the Biden Administration's new proposal on changes to Title 9. Specifically, it would prohibit states from issuing blanket bans on biological men competing in women's sports. Morabito shares more about the White House proposal and where things stand now. She fills us in on what other stories she is following. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
