I am retiring this year after more than 20 years in public education. I’ve learned one truth above all others: kids need high standards, accountability, and adults willing to challenge them to become better.

We are losing that in our public schools at an alarming rate in both the classroom and the athletic arena. Too often, when our teachers and coaches demand discipline, accountability, and character, they become targets simply because some people don’t get their way or others are not willing to put forth the same effort. I have seen this time and time again, especially over the last 5-6 years.

If you want to see what real leadership in education looks like, take a look at Scott Clemons the Head Baseball coach at North Stanly High School in Stanly County, NC. Coaches like him don’t just build teams, they build young men of character, responsibility, and resilience. Those are the people in education we should be supporting, not running off. We should be celebrating the success of high school programs that families want to be a part of instead of tearing them down. No matter if it is a baseball team, a Debate Club or a theater program.

What school systems do not understand or seem to care about is when you attack a coach who has built a bond and relationship with his players the way Scott has, you are truly affecting the children. If we are in education for the right reason and want whats best for our kids then we need to back and support our most valuble assets. When you are willing to run off the best of the best in caring for young people, public schools are in danger.

Now that is a flex. Imagine being so talented that when technology fails, you just go, “Fine, I’ll do it live!” and crush it a cappella in front of thousands. Carrie Underwood doesn’t need auto-tune; auto-tune probably takes notes from her.

Also, let’s just appreciate the symbolism here—America the Beautiful, stripped of all the overproduced noise, performed raw and real. Honestly, it feels like the perfect metaphor for what this country could use right now: less manufactured chaos, more genuine unity. A little harmony, anyone?

And the crowd participation? Classic “we the people” energy. Makes you wonder: when’s the last time the government pulled off something half that impressive without a glitch?

Scientists have concluded that the Shroud of Turin image was created by an intense burst of light

With no heat

In all directions at the same time

Within the tomb itself

What could this have been?
