Today, after 16,000 hours of K-12 indoctrination, our kids come out of government schools hating America. They roll their eyes at religion and disdain our history. We spend more money on education than ever, but kids can barely read and write—let alone reason with discernment.
Greg and Tina have been married 35 years and they have 3 children. Emily (31) is married to Kurtis and lives in Lubbock. Carly (30) has two daughters, 6 and 3, and lives in North Richland Hills. Chance is 27 in heaven and he is the reason that LIVEBIG began.
