Agreed! As you can tell from my previous commentary on Pastor Cruz, I am a huge fan. Every time he's in my area now I make it a point to be there. And I usually have a busy schedule.
One of my biggest soapbox spiels is that we need to revamp history and government classes in our public schools. Currently it's the norm that these classes are boring recitations of dates and events, often taught by coaches in smaller schools like ours. The teaching of history and government needs to be done by people who are passionate about the subject manner with a knack for story telling. Students need to learn causes and consequences of historical events. How it all ties together. Pastor Cruz is a master at this.
I'd be very happy if Pastor Cruz had a leadership position in transitioning our government and history classes into what they need to be. I'm certain that's not his calling in life but if we could duplicate his manner of teaching about our government and the history of its formation we'd have fewer stupid voters.
I come from a long family line of Texas high school coaches. You can imagine my popularity at family reunions when I start dogging the topic of getting coaches out of important classrooms. Frankly, I'd rather the coaches get their classroom time in English or science than history! (Said tongue-in-cheek, only half joking)
