If America is such a bad place, why do people risk their lives to get here from across our Southern border? They are escaping the type of governance we are slouching toward. Dictators, tyrants, corruption, murder, crime and disorder are not what these people came here for.

I learned a lot, so thank you. Also I want to say with you that

Civic education should be an integral part of public education without serving to reinforce social status quo or inequitable structures of power and influence.

While searching emails for articles on American education, for an astrology substack post I have been writing, I came across this good-news about Hillsdale College 1776 Curriculum. Thank you for this.

I think my generation was about the last to get Civics, Government, US, and World History watered down as I've since learned. I graduated HS in 1966. But I also had Secterial, sewing, and cooking, along with English and General Math. Home Ec, was a far cry from the pitiful stuff taught today. A good Vo-Tech education. Computers ended that.

I've known of the integrity of Hillsdale College since the 1970s when I became an avid listener of Paul Harvey News every day. Mr. Harvey spoke of Hillsdale College on a regular basis, and that got me interested in the college's approach to higher education. It's unbeatable in my opinion, and I applaud the great work they continue to do into the 21st century.

Americans’ participation in civic life is essential to sustaining our democratic form of government. Without it, a government of the people, by the people, and for the people will not last. Isn't that so?

Yes, It's important because the teaching of civics and history – is an opportunity to better understand our past and how our government works so we can engage in and influence our future. Thank You very much sir for making your great materials.

I agree with you sir, you create great content. I think the function of civics education to prepare young people for active citizenship in a constitutional democracy is left unfulfilled without national dedication to high-quality civics education for all.

I don't think I saw any actual examples of the material that I could say was "good". All I saw was you telling us it was "good". I doubt my perspective of the TRUE history of America would be so Rah Rah Rah for the great U S of A.
