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."

 

From Georgia, Nicole A. says,
"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.

 

So I wrote a best-seller using true stories from America's most written-about event that proved to parents why their children have value and worth now, not 20 years from now.

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. 

 

Our video program, America's 52 Stories, is a subtle character development series – Trojan Horse – that slips these essential lessons through the back door of traditional education.
Tammy T. of California says,
"I decided, going forward, to homeschool my kids because of all this. I wish you the best of luck and hope to see this take off!"

 

Igniting Self-Discovery through American History

Let's delve into the mechanics of our video program:

Comprising 52 videos, each divided into 3 segments, they impart a journey of self-discovery:
1. Historical Narratives:
The program shares captivating stories from one event in America's past, recounting moments of adversity and triumph that have shaped our nation's character.
2. Life Lessons:
Each story is followed by thoughtful reflections, enabling the immediate application of personal growth lessons for teenagers.
3. Meaningful Exploration:
Guiding questions encourage students to relate these narratives and lessons to their own lives, thereby making them relevant, personal, and meaningful.

 

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:

1. Family Bonding Tool:
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:
Students witness the potential within themselves, experiencing the reward of self-discovery and the joy of personal success.

4. A Personal Connection to American History:
Through relatable stories and weekly exposure to each video, students forge a subtle and profound connection with America’s past, fostering a genuine appreciation for their country.

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.

    Your support helps us provide free or discounted character-building videos and books to families and educators who need them most.

  • 🎥 Video-Based Character Lessons
    You fund the production and distribution of short, story-driven video lessons that teach teens real-life values—without preaching or politics.

    Your Impact Can Shape a Generation

    We’ve built a fully developed, ready-to-scale program rooted in time-tested, faith-based values—honesty, gratitude, conviction, self-reliance, and integrity. Now we’re asking for your help to bring it to families who need it most.

    Our goal is to reach 500,000 families across the U.S. with the tools to build character before culture does.
    To do that, we must raise $1.25 million—just $2.50 per family reached.

    This is not a vague dream. Every dollar is tied to direct delivery of resources, from video lessons and charater-focused books to faith-aligned discussion guides that make a real difference in the home.

    If you believe in helping young people build strength, clarity, and moral courage—this is the moment.
    Your gift doesn’t just support a project. It invests in a generation.
