Many Voices, One Freedom: United in the 1st Amendment
September 16, 2024
On October 4, 1790, Samuel Adams sat down to write a letter to his cousin, John Adams, who was vice president of the United States. Samuel Adams stated: “Let patriots unite their endeavors to renovate the age, by . . . educating their sons and daughters in the fear of the Lord . . . love of their country and . . . the art of self-government.”
The word renovate means “To renew; to restore to the first state, or a good state, after decay, destruction or depravation.” It may seem surprising to us that Adams expressed the need to renovate the age, being as it was, such an early time in our nation’s existence. Is it possible he felt the teachings of the Fear of the Lord, Love of Country, and the Art of Self-Government were entering a state of decay?
Ronald Reagan stated, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” Could it be that EVERY generation needs to Renovate the Age? The Dean’s List is a show resolved to Renovate the Age by shining the light of truth on the decaying American education system while also shining the light of hope for parents and grandparents who will endeavor to reclaim ownership of their children’s and grandchildren’s education.
The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – Samuel Blumenfeld exposes how John Dewey’s socialist agenda reshaped American public education by diluting literacy. Dewey’s curriculum aims to undermine individualism, making it easier to promote socialism. Today, politicians still miss the mark, pushing ineffective reforms like longer school days instead of addressing the root problem: the need for literacy education using phonics.
The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – Mississippi’s literacy scores have skyrocketed, transforming from 49th to 21st in the nation. This success stems from a shift to a phonics-based approach known as the “Science of Reading.” Led by Carey M. Wright, the initiative demonstrates the power of classical education methods in improving reading comprehension, despite low per-pupil expenditure rates.
The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – Roughly a two-millimeter distance is all that separated Trump from certain death. Many are calling it a miracle the shooter missed his target by such a small margin. The unthinkable did not happen because of the grace and protection of God. Trump’s gratitude to “God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening” is reminiscent of Washington’s comments to his brother after the battle of…
The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – Despite leftist media portrayals, American ideals are flourishing.

The majority of Americans remain proud of their heritage, celebrating Independence Day in large numbers. Civic pride and national unity are on the rise, focusing on freedom and independence as core American principles.
The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – Americans must unite for the cause of education. Marxists and Progressives aim to divide us, but we see through their ploys. Our children deserve a proper education that instills love for America. As Lincoln emphasized, all Americans share a moral connection through the Declaration of Independence. Rally behind education and national values to overcome division.
The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – NEA President Becky Pringle prioritizes racial and social justice over student learning. In a speech at the recent NEA convention, she emphasizes collective strength and organizing power, while neglecting dismal student performance in reading and math. Pringle’s focus remains on opposing privatization and vouchers, aiming to transform public education into a tool for social justice and equity.
The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – Discover the forgotten history of George Washington and the Battle of Monongahela. Learn how this pivotal event shapes our understanding of American history today. Uncover the divine protection Washington believed saved him and his prophetic encounter with an Indian Chief. Let’s revive the true stories of our founding fathers and their faith in Providence.
The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – Judge Louis Guirola delivers a major blow to Biden’s Title IX rewrite, issuing a nationwide stay. This ruling halts the enforcement of new guidelines by the Department of Health and Human Services, which many argue would mandate taxpayer-funded gender-transition interventions. This decision marks a significant setback for the Biden Administration’s recent efforts in redefining Title IX protections.
The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters mandates Bible teachings in public schools, citing its historical significance. The directive aligns with moves in Louisiana and Tennessee to emphasize religious foundations. Critics argue it diverts focus from education. Walters insists it’s essential for understanding Western civilization and America’s legal system, effective immediately.
The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – California’s K12 public school enrollment faces a dramatic decline, with a 6% drop since 2013 and projections of a 12% decrease over the next decade. Regions like Greater Los Angeles and the Bay Area experience significant declines, driven by parents seeking traditional, classical education for their children, rejecting progressive curriculums in favor of truth, goodness, and beauty.
The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – Tennessee legislators call on citizens to dedicate July to prayer and fasting, seeking God’s mercy and blessings. With overwhelming support, the Resolution addresses violence, drug addiction, and human trafficking.

The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – When John Adams and Massachusetts delegates meet Benjamin Rush in 1774, they face strong opposition to independence. Visionary leaders like Adams understand the Crown won’t negotiate their rights. By biding their time and strategic collaboration with Virginians, they pave the way for independence. Today’s discussion emphasizes staying true to your cause despite obstacles.
The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – Polarization often gets a bad rap, but America’s birth proves it can lead to great ideas like independence. From the intense debates between John Dickinson and John Adams to Caesar Rodney’s midnight ride to cast Delaware’s decisive vote, our history shows that strong convictions and courageous persuasion are vital for progress. Embrace the debate and stand for your beliefs…
