Tuberville calls for changes in education, warns of ‘socialism talk’ in schools — ‘We’re not going to have any more conservatives in Washington, D.C.’

One consistent theme of former Auburn University head football coach Tommy Tuberville’s bid for U.S. Senate in Alabama has been not to dwell on the minutiae of the day-to-day political struggle playing out in Washington, D.C. and on cable news.

Instead, he has put some of his focus on broader issues, including faith, family and education, as he has made his way around the state on the campaign trail.

During an appearance on Huntsville radio WVNN’s “The Jeff Poor Show” on Friday, Tuberville once again visited the issue of education. He referred to education as one of the necessary “fundamentals” needed to prevent the creep of socialism in the country.

“I’m a builder,” Tuberville said. “I always was. Most every football program that I took over was a disaster, and I had to build it back. You have to build it back with people believing what you’re doing, and you’ve heard me say this — we’ve lost our fundamentals in this country. If we don’t get that straightened back out and get back to our fundamentals, we’re going to lose the United States of America as we all love it. It will be here. We’ll have some freedoms, but we’ll start losing some of it. The Constitution has kept us on the strait and narrow as long as we don’t change that, and we’re not going to do that, hopefully.”

“But the fundamentals — we’ve got to get God back in the schools for kids,” he continued. “We replaced God in the 1960s with metal detectors. I mean, it is just embarrassing what we’ve done. We’re a Christian nation. We’ve got to continue to remember that. The other one is to build back families. And you’ve heard me say this, and I’m going to tell people this right now — I don’t care what we do with the economy or our military, or how good things are looking — if we don’t change education in the very near future and get our kids away from this socialism talk, we’re not going to have any more conservatives in Washington, D.C. We’re not going to have a president. We’re going to have all socialistic people that will be elected by our Millennials that are all being brainwashed in our universities, all universities, and a lot of our high schools.”

“We have got to get back to basics and start teaching our fundamentals in our schools,” Tuberville added.
