Young Thomas Stevens accepts his depressed and frustrated teacher’s challenge to find a hero with his same first name to see what makes the person tick. His hard working single Mom starts asking questions. Teachers suddenly find a spark to raise them to new levels of enthusiasm. It becomes infectious as the lives of parents, teachers, and staff join in the action. Race, population control and environment are critical topics in a longstanding spiritual and secular battle with powerful forces arrayed against the responsibilities of parents for the hearts, minds and survival of our children. These forces have created widespread fear and dependence. They virtually destroyed the once stable black and poor white families. Birth rates out of wedlock before the Great Society were a nominal 8-9%. Today, about 78% of black children are born out of wedlock or destroyed in abortion mills. A powerful environmental movement has legal standing over beleaguered farmers, landowners and businesses. It opposes virtually every aspect of the American system of business and government. This green deal claiming Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is a straw dog to control and put fear in children’s minds by assuring them planet Earth is close to burning up because they and their parents are so irresponsible. It is as if the energy and cycles of the sun or the earth’s orbital and spinning top variations are of no effect. Families and educators still have dreams and hopes, regardless of race, wealth or physical location.Teachers in the worst public schools often have a spark of life and morality to sincerely want to help our kids. The Melting is a fun, yet serious quest with some real battles, great laughs, and confrontations that lead to remarkable conclusions for those involved. Our entire Education system cries for a fresh face and clear vision that comes from belief in solid American values, principles, and spirituality that includes All men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We’re off on a fresh journey with our endowment in The Melting.
