Poll Results RE: Constitutional Law, Civics education...

Most likely, like many of you I recently completed a pretty extensive Hillsdale poll re: our public schools and the education of our constitution, government and civics. Much of which I believe has fallen off the plate of our public school systems throughout the country and has been replaced by a more global elitist's accepted agenda. 

Either way, here's the results of that Hillsdale poll that was emailed to some of us recently.

Regarding the Constitution survey I sent you the other day. The response has been tremendous—tens of thousands of people have taken the survey, and I thought you might be interested in the results.

85% of respondents believe that extensive damage has been done to the Constitution over the last decade. And though 98% believe that increased constitutional knowledge is necessary to restore limited government, only 2% feel that schools are doing enough to teach today’s students American history and civics.

Did these results surprise you? They shouldn’t.

After all, for more than a century, Progressives have repeatedly attacked the Constitution, calling it dated and irrelevant—especially in schools and universities. They have attempted to rewrite American history, thereby undermining the freedom our founding fathers established.

In contrast, I believe it’s our responsibility as citizens to know, understand, and seek to restore the principles of liberty upon which this country was founded.

Here’s one quick way to help spread the knowledge of the Constitution right now:

Share Hillsdale’s courses with your friends and family. These free courses are designed to strengthen your knowledge of America’s most important founding document. My colleagues and I put all three of these courses together, and I think they’re a great place to start (you can even just forward this email).

Course 1: “Introduction to the Constitution”

Course 2: “Constitution 101: The Meaning & History of the Constitution”

Course 3: “Constitution 201: The Progressive Rejection of the Founding & the Rise of Bureaucratic Despotism”

Some folks write this poll off as another sham for money. Hillsdale has never asked me for money. They do provide a link for free courses and, of course an introduction to their paid curriculum but I've never received a request for funds by Hillsdale. I have reviewed several of their courses and will continue to participate in their discussions... under this pseudonym, of course. 

But these results, though they don't wholly surprise me DO surprise me! I expected the results to reflect the final outcome received but not to the level of 85% and above...

98%?! Tens of thousands of respondents?! And 98% of those respondents "believe that increased constitutional knowledge IS NECESSARY TO RESTORE LIMITIED GOVERNMENT"! Now if that's not telling, nothing is!

IMHO
