Welcome back to Voices of Liberty with host Sean Themea, powered by Young Americans for Liberty. Is America's education system failing the next generation? And what can parents do to ensure their children grow up understanding liberty, personal responsibility, and the principles that made America great? Sean sits down with Marissa Streit, CEO of PragerU, at FreedomFest in Las Vegas to explore the battle over American education and why she believes the future of the country depends on what children are learning today. Drawing on her experience as a teacher, school administrator, and mother of three, Marissa explains how PragerU has grown into an educational media powerhouse reaching more than a billion views annually. She shares why combining education with entertainment has proven so effective and how PragerU is bringing American history, civics, capitalism, and financial literacy to students and families. The conversation explores what Marissa calls the "education industrial complex," the influence of teachers unions and textbook publishers, the importance of America's founding principles, and why she believes parents must take a more active role in their children's education. Marissa also discusses PragerU's work with schools, the challenges facing teachers, and why teaching gratitude, self-reliance, and personal responsibility is essential to preserving the American Dream. Her message is clear: The next generation will not automatically inherit an understanding of liberty. We have to teach it.
