Well, it’s that time again.
World leaders, CEOs, and the self-appointed stewards of humanity have gathered in Davos for the World Economic Forum.
They fly in on private jets to "collaborate" on fixing the world's problems. Something that somehow always seems to involve more control over the rest of us and more jet-setting and luxury for them.
Under this year's theme of "A Spirit of Dialogue," they're hashing out the same-old, same-old. AI, energy transitions, economic growth, and all the ways centralized planning can make life "better" for the average poor.
(I think there’s also a pretty heavy emphasis this year on trying to keep Donald Trump from invading Greenland or building luxury condos in Gaza.)
Yikes.
Anyway, remember the Great Reset a few years back? The one where Klaus and his friends openly floated the idea that by 2030, the rest of us would "own nothing and be happy"? Or when Mark Zuckerberg pitched living in virtual worlds—all of us having nice, simulated houses and cars when we put on our VR headsets?
I remember thinking then how that didn’t sound like something people who were happy owning nothing would do.
Those soft launches and soundbites weren’t random. They were a trial run. The feedback they got was that the world wasn’t quite soft enough or desperate enough to accept that life just yet.
But we’d be pretty naive to believe they just gave up. Make no mistake, their agenda hasn't gone away. They’re just giving themselves a little more time.
They’re playing the long game, so to make any of this palatable to free people, they've spent decades reshaping how kids see themselves, the world, and their place in it. It’s happening everywhere, but it’s especially prominent here.
American children are taught to be ashamed of their heritage from the moment they enter the public education system. There, every hero gets a long list of caveats, every accomplishment comes with asterisks, and the whole story of America is framed as greedy capitalism run amok.
Meanwhile, "European socialism" gets painted as some type of moral high ground.
Burning fossil fuels is immoral, they say, even as reliable energy keeps American lights on and families warm. Never mind the rolling blackouts, stagnant economies, or the quiet erosion of personal freedoms of our “superiors” across the pond. We should want to be more like them.
Yeah, no thanks. I like my central air conditioning.
Generations of Americans are growing up disconnected from the real principles that built this nation (individual liberty, innovation through free enterprise, self-reliance) and instead are primed to accept top-down "solutions" from distant elites.
Thankfully, the antidote is actually pretty simple. Kids need to be rooted in truth about who they are and where they come from. The problem is that a lot of parents don't even know the full, unspun story of America's founding anymore because most textbooks gloss over or twist it to fit either a narrative of perpetual guilt, or one of perpetual right-doing.
Any student of history knows that it’s never actually so simple.
This is exactly why we created the Tuttle Twins America's History books and curriculum.
These books (linking America’s founding all the way back to Marco Polo and the Silk Road) tell the tale honestly: exploration, trade, adventure, tensions, failures, and the ideas that eventually led to independence and the birth of a new nation.
We don't shy away from difficult or controversial parts, but we do present them without spin.
Strong families and a solid sense of identity are the best defense against manipulation. When kids understand the real history of freedom and responsibility, they're far less likely to trade it away for promises of "happiness" in someone else's controlled system.
If you're ready to equip your family with the true history of the United States, now is a great time to check out all of our America's History resources.
They’re powerful tools for raising a generation that values liberty, questions authority, and refuses to be managed like peasants by distant elites.
Grab the America's History books or curriculum today.
Because your kids deserve the real story.
