Discover the Constitution's simple, profound truths through a free online course from Hillsdale College
On May 15th, Hillsdale College launched “Introduction to the Constitution.” This free online course is presented in a groundbreaking new style ... Each lesson is less than 15 minutes long. Find yourself at the table with Dr. Larry Arnn, as he teaches his students the principles of liberty....

The U.S. Constitution is the key to securing liberty for all Americans -- yet few know exactly what it says, and what freedoms it protects...

... As always, Hillsdale offers this course for no charge—completely free—as part of our mission to help all Americans pursue truth and defend liberty.

I thought it would be worth at least looking into.

Our Constitution is unique in the world.

Our rights are God given. Not by the government, the state, the Central Committee, the King, or any human institution.

That is why the US must be taken down by the Globalists. They can't take away our rights so long as the Constitution stands.

Find out more....

Why does one need a class on a document that is written in plain English? It wasn't written by career Politicians or in lawyer double speak, the words mean exactly what they say as written.

Re: Discover the Constitution's simple, profound truths through a free online course from Hillsdale College
"We are often asked—why does Hillsdale offer this course for free?

America’s young people desperately need to learn the fundamentals of the Constitution and its importance to liberty. In the 2016 presidential primaries, more millennials (America’s youngest voters) voted for Bernie Sanders, who proudly espouses socialism, than voted for Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton combined. Though the final election results were encouraging for those who support limited government, the millennial vote bodes ill for the future—unless we take this as an opportunity and try to reach these young voters with the constitutional education they didn’t get in school.

Hillsdale’s faculty have devoted their lives to educating young people, and every year nearly four hundred Hillsdale students graduate. But that’s not enough. Reaching and educating more and more Americans, including young Americans, was one of the main reasons Hillsdale College launched its free online courses in 2011. Since then, more than 1.9 million people have enrolled in them."

Hillsdale College refuses to take any government funds, including student loans.

They support themselves with tuition and donations.

I like that idea.

 Quoting: Daggo


Not everyone can even read. Many have limited reading skills. This is why video is becoming increasingly popular as a way of learning.

Many young people have not been taught analytical thinking skills, and thus cannot understand what they do read if it is beyond a comic book level.

Much of the class is composed of discussion and discovery of implications of the documents.

Now, may I ask you why you object to people talking about and learning about our Constitution?

So you're saying like everything else liberals touch they've fucked up education too. Time for educators to stop trying to teach children what to think, and get back to their jobs of teaching children and young adults how to think.

They aren't liberal, they are conservative to the point that they don't even take government grants or funding so that they can't be controlled by the left.

There are conservative colleges, but they are few and far between. This is one of them.

"Elevating the civic conversation.

A more perfect union requires a more serious discourse. We believe an educated citizenry can be a powerful force for honoring, understanding, and defending America’s founding principles."

We are doomed when learning more deeply about our history and thought are immediately attacked.

This is from the Introduction to Lesson One

"“The Declaration of Independence - Universals and Particulars”
Screen Shot 2017-05-15 at 9.42.15 AM.png

Overview:
There is an indispensable relationship between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. This lesson explores the universal principles outlined in the Declaration and their implications for the form of just government. The argument of the Declaration culminates in the colonists’ solemn pledge to each other of their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor."

This is from the email that brought me the first lesson.

The more I read here, the more I think that Hillsdale is the exact opposite of Evergreen State College.

Some people need to be led through things. People today are not independent thinkers as they were in the past.

Any vehicle that gets people to learn about this remarkable experiment we call the USA is good. It can lead them back home.

Absolutely.

Younger people especially have been cheated of an education that teaches them not only basic skills, but how to reason and analyze. I've seen in my own family one niece who was so turned against reading that she doesn't even read as an adult. She came from a family of readers, so sad.
