Michelle Malkin tackled education reform and the ever-contentious Common Core standards during Glenn Beck’s Man in the Moon event. Covering a different side of the coin, historian David Barton later delved into the historical roots of religion in education and how the system has profoundly changed over the past few decades. Both made their remarks during the Independence Through Education conference — an education panel covering a plethora of associated education issues. At the start of her speech, Malkin expressed that she was thrilled and energized to gather with so many Americans who are concerned about education in America. She also praised Beck for bringing together the highly-engaged crowd and for championing such an essential issue. “It’s because of [Beck] that I believe that in this room we have amassed the most effective and informed group of people to help stop Common Core,” she said. Malkin also called for citizens to get involved to stop the left’s “fomenting and plotting and conspiring to hatch these progressive education schemes and to use our children as their political pawns.” But rather than limiting her critique to progressives, she also extended her frustration to Republicans who have sold out, in her view. These individuals who are supposed to be defenders of small government are abandoning the values they claim to so ardently adhere to, Malkin contends. “The reason why this is so important is because there are people who purport to represent limited constitutional government…and local control of the schools,” she said. “[People] who are getting in bed with people who have nothing less than the destruction of parental rights as their agenda.”
