Consitution 101....

Post by The Annoyed Man »

Hillsdale College is going to be offering an online course called Constitution 101. Hillsdale is the college which publishes the Imprimis newsletter I posted about a couple of months ago. The course being offered is the same one they require as a core requirement for graduation. All Hillsdale College students take this class. Now, the college is offering this course online to anyone who is interested. It will be available free of charge to anyone who wishes to take it, although there is a suggested donation of $50 to cover the expense of offering this online course to all Americans.

Here is a link to register: http://constitution.hillsdale.edu/. Personally? I'm going to take it as a refresher course, and I'm going to donate toward covering its cost. That way, I'll feel better about telling a young man I've been mentoring to take it for free. I just gave him a copy of the little pocket booklet Essential Freedom published by the Patriot Post. He's 20 years old, and he had never been made to read the Constitution as part of his education. That booklet I gave him is his first ever exposure to it. That is unfathomable to me....that there are now a couple of generations who have managed to navigate the halls of what passes for public education without ever having been required to read—and know—the one single, arguably most important ever, document in our nation's history. Back in my day, you had to know this stuff to graduate from high school. Hillsdale College now finds it necessary to offer what is basically a remedial course on the Constitution, the same way that other schools may require an incoming student to take a remedial math or english course on arriving at college, just to being them up to "college speed."

Anyway, I thought that some of you might enjoy this opportunity. I know that none of us have enough to do every day. (I certainly don't, or I wouldn't spend so much time on this board. :mrgreen: ) Might as well make good use of the time.

I assume they will cover the Tenth Amendment, the difference between interstate and local, the difference between commerce and personal use, and what the U.S. Constitution says about people who choose to be its enemies.

Knowing Hillsdale College, which is a VERY conservative institution of higher learning, it's a safe bet that it will be covered.
