No Need to Learn Civics

I see protests on TV and sometimes wonder if the demonstrators even understand
what they’re protesting. Now, a report by the National Association of Scholars,
says many university courses aimed at understanding the American system, have
been replaced by vocational classes on how to undermine it. Instead of teaching the
foundations of constitutional law, individual freedom, and self-government, these
new courses now teach how to organize protests, occupy buildings, and stage
demonstrations. Americans citizens have always enjoyed the right to protest
policies with which they disagree. But looking through the lens of liberty is a
vital first step, in understanding the very system that guarantees the right to protest.
Without that basic understanding of our founding principles, students are actually
being cheated of the opportunity to be full participants in our republic. They
should protest that!
