As our school year resumed back in late August, Charlotte's senior year, I knew I wanted to finish her high school years with an American Government course with emphasis on the United States Constitution, and I found the most excellent class online through Hillsdale College. There are two parts to this course, Const 101 and Const 201, and it is absolutely free. Every American would do well to take the time to listen to these outstanding lectures.
Which leads me to another thing that few people realized occurred on September 17, 2020 at the Archives in Washington, DC, which happens to be Constitution Day, the anniversary of our United States Constitution. A panel of educators and historians organized by the White House met together to discuss how to restore the teaching of American history to students in schools across America. American history would be taught with truth and honesty for the preservation of freedom.
"We must carry on the fight because our country is at stake. Indeed, in a larger sense, civilization itself is at stake, because the forces arrayed against the scholarship and the politics of freedom today have more radical aims than just destroying America. "
Larry Arnn, President of Hillsdale College

Wow, what a profound quote. I will look into the class you mentioned. I seem to be in the gap that never learned much about American history, before it was (so obviously) being avoided. Thank you for sharing!
PS I have tried to email you directly (in response to your comments on my blog) and keep getting rejection notices. I hope it's just a tech issue, I'm glad you've posted recently. You can reach me directly at karenzeph@aol.com. Thanks!
