  • Audio News Archive - SRN News - Trump threatens to block opening of bridge between Canada and Michigan

    President Trump is threatening to block the opening of a bridge between Canada and Michigan. The Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, is scheduled to open this year. But the president said he “will not allow it” to open until the United States “is fully compensated for everything we have given them.” He wrote online that Canada has treated the U-S “very unfairly for decades.” The bridge, which has cost more than 4-and-a-half billions dollars to build, has been financed by Canada and will be jointly owned by Canada and Michigan. GC, Wash.

  • The WallBuilders Show - Rethinking How We Teach History

    Ever wonder how a handful of companies and two massive states end up deciding what your kids learn about America? We pull back the curtain on the textbook economy, the standards that drive it, and the quiet incentives that shape classroom content from coast to coast. Then we chart a new path: laws that require clear civics outcomes, history taught in a spiraled way from kindergarten through eighth grade, and high school courses that finally put the founding where it belongs—front and center for near-adult citizens.

    We start with the energy of the Pro Family Legislators Conference, where lawmakers from dozens of states sharpen ideas that actually move the needle back home. From there, we break down how the big three publishers dominate the market, why California and Texas set the tone for everyone else, and how “partial compliance” lets vague or ideological material slip past state standards. The fix isn’t abstract. Texas just shifted from 50 percent alignment to 100 percent compliance, backed by laws that require teaching the benefits of free enterprise, the documented failures of communism, meaningful patriotism, and bedrock civic knowledge.

    Because national publishers won’t fully tailor to one state, Texas launched its own publishing track and is moving history from one-and-done sequencing to spiraling—revisiting core ideas yearly with growing depth and better stories. That means K–8 students build strong narrative memory and values, while eleventh graders master the Declaration, Constitution, and Bill of Rights when it matters most. We also talk memorization with purpose—the key clause of the Declaration—so students carry the philosophy of rights into life, not just the dates.

    If you care about education reform, civic literacy, and giving parents and legislators a practical roadmap, you’ll find a clear strategy here: set specific standards, align materials completely, and teach history the way kids actually learn.

    Scott Hamilton is an Olympic gold medal figure skater and former national television commentator. His compelling story begins with being adopted and overcoming physical illness as a child to compete in skating, followed by cancer and multiple brain tumors. Reaching the pinnacle of his sport couldn’t fill the hole in Scott’s heart. Not until he found his identity in Christ did he arrive at true peace and joy. He’ll share about his lifelong journey of overcoming as he inspires others with the Gospel.
