| I was at the Nixon Library many years ago. | |
| I gave a speech, and I mentioned in context, I don't remember what the context was, but a question I've been asking all of my life to high school and college students. | |
| If your dog and a stranger were drowning, which would you say first? | |
| And one-third, my whole life, one-third vote for the dog, one-third for the stranger, one-third. | |
| Don't know what they would do. | |
| The question is too vexing. | |
| And so two-thirds wouldn't save the stranger, say they wouldn't save the stranger first. | |
| And a teacher with some kids from a Christian school was at my speech. | |
| And he posed the question to his kids, and most of them voted for the dog. | |
| I don't know, they were like 11 years old. | |
| They were quite young. | |
| But he said to me, it's very disturbing. | |
| I don't think we're teaching correctly. | |
| I did this at an Orthodox Jewish school in Miami. | |
| Public question. | |
| And a lot of kids said they'd save their dog. | |
| And the principal said the same thing. | |
| The rabbi said, we're missing the boat. | |
| And that's exactly right. | |
| We have missed the boat in education for at least since... | |
| Since World War II, we have not taught kids correctly, in many cases, what Judaism is, what Christianity is, and what America is. | |
| So it's no wonder we have so many problems. | |
| We don't teach the good stuff right. | |
| Happiness Hour coming up. | |
| I'm Dennis Prager. |
