American Education Defenders, Inc hasn't added a story.
Incredibly, this is the crisis our kids are in...

The Problem:
Today’s teens are growing up in a world that’s
fast, loud, and deeply confused. They’re told to follow trends
instead of truth. To seek validation instead of values. And the
virtues that built this country—honesty, gratitude, conviction,
self-reliance, and integrity—are quietly disappearing.
The Solution:
We’ve built a complete series of videos, books, and graphics rooted in faith-based values and wrapped in true stories. No lectures. No sermons. Just tools that spark clarity, courage, and character—in a way that sticks.

Used by 1,700+ families nationwide. Both videos and books
are designed
to be discussion opportunities whose subtle
effect is a stronger family bond.

And yes, our message is grounded in moral conviction. But no, it’s never preachy.
Here’s the truth: The materials are ready. The message is clear. But reaching families and schools across the country takes serious fuel. That’s where you come in.
When you support this work, you’re not just funding a project.
You’re investing in a generation.
You’re helping parents reclaim their voice.
You’re helping teens stand strong in truth.
You’re helping America rediscover what still
matters most.
And you’ll see the difference. We’ll send you regular updates, family testimonials, and real examples of the impact your gift is making. Because every dollar you give is more than a donation—it’s a declaration.
👉 Join us. Let’s shape the future before the culture does.
We bypass the schools and go directly to the parents at home where environments are more likely to be safe.
Dr. Aaron W. of Minnesota says,
"I spent some time this morning watching some of your
videos and they are fantastic! (no surprise). Knowing some
homeschooling moms, I will pass your course along to them."
"These are trying times, and I am so happy to have something, anything, to share with my children that can provide them with inspiration and morals that I can stand behind."
How I Became Mad As Hell…
Before the era of COVID-19, I spent 19 years working with teenagers on how to get into their first-choice colleges.
Instead of focusing on their grades and test scores, I had them accentuate their talents, no matter how underdeveloped.
As a result, they learned the benefits of standing out, acknowledging their uniqueness, and activating their talents.
It all translated into a 97% success rate of getting into their colleges.
That's because my students discovered how recognizing their self-worth had a far greater impact on their acceptance than conforming to difficult academic requirements.
But I was mad as hell that their unfounded and unfair negative self-images were not being addressed in their schools.

The book’s unexpected success resonated deeply
as it contrasted with a disheartening truth – many of our schools
have been sabotaging the very self-esteem they should be nurturing.
With the political climate changing in 2025, our children are still being categorized based on identity, fostering division and self-doubt. Anxiety and depression are now in evidence, and we cannot stand idly by.
A Ray of Light Amidst the Darkness
To counter this issue, I established American
Education Defenders Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated
to defending our children against a negative culture in our schools.
But what if we could do more?
What if we could influence our children's lives with true stories from America's past that showcase the power of the human spirit and the virtues that define us as a nation?
Imagine a world where a 14-year-old who contemplated suicide found comfort in a friend's compassionate listening.
Simple acts - monumental impact.
These are the very life lessons that need to find their way into our educational system.

Igniting Self-Discovery through American History
Let's delve into the mechanics of our video program:
These bite-sized segments, averaging 4-7 minutes, make it ideal for homeschooling and complementing classroom instruction (if only teachers can be allowed to show them).
The results of this approach are five-fold:
Our program has an unexpected but exciting result: it nurtures a bond between parent and child. We never even planned for this, but it's happening as you read this.
2. Critical Thinking Skills Develop:
After each story is told, followed by its life lessons, we ask questions that BOTH parent and child are encouraged to answer. Try finding this result at your local public school.
3. Empowerment Through Proof:
4. A Personal Connection to American History:
5. Embracing Core Values:
Our children recognize their capacity for courage, empathy, self-reliance, generosity, and other essential American values that underpin the spirit of our nation.
