About Us
Jared L. Taylor began American Classroom in 2023 to showcase excellence in education.
With personal experiences and during his time on the Arizona State Board for Education, Jared observed the American Classroom in crisis. Why? Our public education system has largely put the vested interest over the interests of our children.
Our nation’s future depends on an education system to preserve our founding ideals and values.
At the same time observing such failure in education, Jared found pockets of excellence and success in the classroom. Each week American Classroom will bring you another story of ways education is succeeding.
We interview parents, teachers, policy makers, and school leaders to show where education is building strong families and strong communities.
