Schools War on Free Speech | Jordan Peterson

Schools are waging war on free speech.  Throughout Europe, the USA, and Canada, speakers are being attacked and banned.  Universities are enforcing speech codes.  Students are being expelled and silenced.  Students are being forced to agree with ridiculous beliefs.  Likewise, the corporate media is at war with free speech– spreading lies to destroy political opponents.  Finally, the war of free speech has reached social media.  Twitter is censoring many users, and banning many others.  Facebook is doing the same. And Youtube too.  Because this situation is so dangerous and so wrong, AJ feels he must speak out.


In this episode of the Effortless English Show, AJ discusses the attacks on free speech.  He also shares an interview with Dr. Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan… teaching you some new vocabulary and helping you understand their important discussion.

Parents Teach Your Children

Parents teach children English better than schools.  You are the very best teacher for your children.  Many parents send their child to school.  They believe that school is a better education.  This is a lie.  School is a lie.  In this Show, AJ tells you the hard truth about schools.  He tells you why you must each your own children.    AJ shares the ugly truth about schools and classes, and why they are no good for your kids.  Parents teach your children.  Teach them English.  Teach them everything.  You and only you can teach them best.


In a school, your child rarely gets individual attention.  Rather, most time in school is wasted with “busy work”.  Children waste time doing worksheets.  Teachers focus more on discipline problems than on teaching.  The methods used in schools are terrible and ineffective.  As a result, school classes are mostly a waste of time.


At home, you will give your children individual attention.  Because of this, they will learn much faster.  They will improve faster.  They will develop new skills.  And they will enjoy learning more.  School is a lie.  Parents teach children better than schools.  Parents teach English better, and they teach all other subjects better too.
