EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We are a 501(c)3 public charity with the goal of becoming the digital oversight and reporting mechanism of our Constitutional Republic, to ensure our government’s integrity to We The People remains intact. We support the people of our nation in their pursuit to successfully govern themselves, by reinforcing the system of checks and balances between the citizens and their government; and creating a transparent system of accountability.

The first initiative is Transparency in Education, assisting communities to better understand the contents and value of their high schools’ curriculums, and working with communities to improve them.

Analysis. We will use the global leader in labor analytics, Lightcast, to help us analyze the skills that are taught in curriculums and compare them with the current job market.

Legal Rights. We plan to retain a top law firm in every county to assist us with getting a copy of current curriculums, helping us monitor the education system’s compliance with state laws, preparing legal arguments against anyone preventing us from achieving transparency or breaking the laws in our schools.

Community Involvement. We seek partnerships with Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis, the Florida Department of Education, County School Boards, High School staff, community organizations, parents and residents to make sure the contents and value of the current curriculum is public knowledge, and we discuss the possibilities to improve it.

Our operation is primarily funded by donations. If you agree with our proposal, please make a donation, follow us on social media, and share our information with anyone who aligns with our mission.

LETTER FROM OUR FOUNDER

To My Fellow Parents, Tax Payers, and Citizens,

We need a logical approach to the longstanding complex problems that face our nation. Focusing on the education system is like a farmer tending to his farm. We must protect our precious seeds of life to ensure they grow up strong, healthy, and possess critical reasoning skills to overcome any challenges they may face.

The failures we see in our school systems across our nation are a direct result of our lack of action to fix the roots of the problems, which results in the problems growing stronger and worsening every day. Remember that We are the stewards of our 246-year-old nation that was bestowed upon us by the brilliance of the founding fathers, and the sacrifice of countless lives that were lost in the name of protecting our freedoms and liberties.

I will not sit quietly another day without taking action to right the ship before we lose it forever. I will not be the father who lies to his children telling them I did everything I could, when I actually did nothing to protect their future. I will not be the citizen who doesn’t answer the cries for help of a neighbor, of a stranger, or our beloved America as she drowns under the floods of tyranny.

What Can We Do?

It is time that We The People of this great nation UNITE, and ORGANIZE ourselves around our shared goals. Together we must ENGAGE a solution in every community to remove the roots of our problems and replace them with solutions and people we trust. People who break the law must be held accountable. Our country cannot survive in a two-tiered justice system.

My hope is to unite a nation of people who proudly stand under our beautiful red, white, and blue flag to do what is expected of us, as our nation’s guardians, and stand together for what is right. Together we can rebuild what we have lost before passing down a broken and corrupt system to our children.

Kind regards,

Daniel A. Cooke
Founder and President

EDUCATION INITIATIVE

GOALS: FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Empower parents and communities to make more informed decisions regarding the curriculums that are used in their schools.
• Redefine the value of an education in terms of skillsets that are needed in the job market and modern life.
• Facilitate the exploration of career paths to help children learn about jobs and what skills are required to get hired.
• Empower students to be more active in the decision making of their education as it relates to the jobs they want and where to find the skills they need.
• Check if school districts are following Florida laws (HB 1467, HB 1557, HB 7).
• Protecting the minds, innocence, and futures of our children. Exercising our legal rights against anyone who breaks our laws sets a precedent that our government cannot operate above the law and without the approval of its community.

THE ANALYSIS AND PILOT STUDY

• Analyze high school curriculums to assess the real-world skills that children are being taught in the 15 largest counties in Florida. This includes 3 of the largest school districts in the US. The counties include: Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Hillsborough, Orange, Duval, Pinellas, Lee, Polk, Brevard, Pasco, Volusia, Seminole, Sarasota, and Osceola.
• Analyze the required skills in the current job market for entry level positions with a high school diploma, an associate’s degree, and a bachelor’s degree.
• Compare the skills being taught to the skills that are required in our current workforce to understand the skill gap that exists between what’s taught and what’s needed.
• Communicate with school boards about their compliance with Florida law.

DELIVERABLES

• Determine the top 10 technical skills and top 10 common skills in our economy, present them in the context of the top 10 occupation groups in the US and each county.
• Identify up to 25 occupations with detailed skills-based analysis as it relates to entry-level experience requirements.
• Analyze up to 15 curriculums from each county.
• Determine the skillsets that are being taught in curriculums and their value in our economy.
• Present the skillset gaps that exist between high school curriculums and entry level jobs requiring a minimum of a high school diploma, associate’s degree, or bachelor’s degree.
• Provide updates on the shifting trends of required skillsets in the job market.
• Identify the opportunities for improvement in curriculums to better prepare young people to enter the workforce.
• Provide an app on our website that shows career paths, the skills that are required for each job, and where to acquire those skills.

POST-STUDY STEPS

• Provide our study to the public so each community and its school board can work together to improve curriculums to teach more relevant skills and increase the likelihood of success for their young people.
• Find and propose alternative curriculums that teach skills that are missing from current curriculums.
• Communicate the process for communities to have more involvement in their school system.
• Create national awareness about our Skills Readiness Program to fundraise for more studies and assist communities across the country.

WHERE DO WE START

• Our Pilot study will focus on Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties before proceeding to others. We aim to include public schools, charter schools, religious schools, and trade schools in our curriculum analysis.
