A National Quiz on Our Constitution - Are You Game?
In an email we received from Bill Gray, Vice President, Institutional Advancement, Hillsdale College, he offers a free, quick quiz to test your knowledge of our Constitution.
We agree with him that today's publicly funded institutions are seeding ignorance rather than proper knowledge when it comes to knowledge that matters versus the fad of knowledge that changes every 10 years.
We have long been advocates of ditching the current politically liberal and progressive education curriculum, which ignores the classics as frivolous and no longer valid.
They could never provide an answer to, “So why were the same subjects and topics so relevant for more than 500+ years and are now suddenly not?”
Their responses always fell with a thud, some louder than others.
Hillsdale’s online courses have expanded greatly in the past 10+ years.
Do take time to check them out - most are free, some require a financial commitment.
We make it a habit to contribute to as many free courses as we can… Hillsdale does NOT accept government funding at any level; tuition, alumni, and donations entirely support it.
I wonder if you agree with me:
Far too many young people do not know the meaning and purpose of the U.S. Constitution!
At Hillsdale College, every undergraduate student must pass a course on the U.S. Constitution before graduating.
That’s rare today. In fact, most colleges and universities don’t have this essential course.
The class is also life-changing for many of our young students.
Recently, a student told her professor she “loved this class” because she had never been taught the Constitution in high school.
This young lady was well-educated in high school, accomplished, and smart. Yet she had never learned about the Constitution - one of our most important founding documents!
Sadly, this happens more often than you think.
And it is one reason why misunderstandings about the Constitution, and the liberty that it safeguards, are widespread in our country.
To help Americans of all ages learn what the Constitution actually says, Hillsdale College created the National Quiz on the U.S. Constitution. Maybe you’d like to test your constitutional knowledge?
If so, here’s a link for you…
It’s short, enjoyable, and revealing.
And when you’re done, you can take our popular FREE online course, “Constitution 101: The Meaning and History of the Constitution,” taught by the same faculty who teach students on our campus.
We produce these educational resources and offer them at no cost because millions of Americans should understand the principles of liberty that make our country so great and so free.
Do you share that belief?
If you do, I hope you’ll also consider including a tax-deductible gift of $25, $50, or even $100 after taking the quiz.
Your support helps us offer “Constitution 101” and other free constitution-defending educational resources to millions—especially young people.
Take your quiz here…
Thank you for helping keep the principles of liberty alive for the next generation.
Good luck with your quiz,
