- Does it matter what we teach our students? Dr. Larry Arnn thinks so. The education that he oversees as president of Hillsdale College is grounded in the idea that America is fundamentally good - and we all have a role to play in making America better. Let’s see what he believes about the lessons and truths that our country’s students need to learn.
I'm not American but I've come to love the values on which it was founded... not because I was indoctrinated (nobody did) but because I validate those values in my everyday life. Thanks, Dr. Layyr Arnn for your deep respect for the human being! That's what it is all about.
Yes, it is worth our work to educate all of our young children to learn what America is and what has made a great Nation, in spite of the internal attempt to change it’s foundations.
If you could send this to all Americans. Maybe it would start something wonderful. This is great information.
The incident happened at a private event where Gov. Bill Lee and Dr. Larry Arnn spoke in front of an audience on the future of Tennessee’s education plan. In a video capturing the event, Dr. Arnn belittled Tennessee’s teachers, saying, among other things, “teachers are trained in the dumbest parts of the dumbest colleges in the country.”
Keep it up Doug! I love the content
Before I went to medical school, it was all about passing a class, and that didn't necessarily mean passing it with understanding, even though I was often on the Dean's and President's Lists. I could ace my classes in undergrad without hardly having to crack open a book. Our English papers were usually capped at 2-pages, double spaced. Exams required one night of cramming to do exceptionally well most of the time. If enough people complained, then the grades got curved in our favor. I could amass so much extra credit in some classes that my average exceeded 100% by turning in one more assignment that required one evening to complete. The standards are so low. It wasn't until I challenged myself by going to medical school that I found a profound appreciation for learning. In a way, I always liked school, even if it was uncool to say, but I never had to apply myself. I feel so disappointed that I didn't have a curriculum that made us read much classical literature or in-depth details of American History. Most schools don't even teach civics anymore. I know I am far from an anomaly, but I have the drive to rectify those deficits, and I hope one day to be in a position to pass this information on to the up-and-coming generations.
We need to all learn that we who have been here for a number of generations should move aside for people who are just arriving, and for ones who have not been able to rise very far because we have been in the way. People who "know better than we do" seem to claim we should move aside, perhaps to reservations as Siberian Chukchi cultures were forced to do when we Europeans flooded into the Americas.
The more righteous than we apparently see that people who destroyed their own lands, often with overpopulation as we did in Europe and Britain, should have another chance here. They seem to claim we had a chance so now we should get out of the way for others to have a chance. They are indoctrinating children, from kindergarten on, to accept such "truth" and say we older people should not interfere.
I believe Douglas and others didn't mean slavery was "good" in general, although they might have implied (sometimes falsely) African slaves fared better here than what many Africans in Africa were experiencing. If they meant slavery was "legitimate" too many people forget it was technically so world wide for 10,000 years until the 19th century.
Truth [based on original sources and primary documents] versus the myths and platitudes repeated endlessly? "Should be we teaching kids to love America?" Indoctrination versus making available honest information? Does Hillsdale promote one process over another? Look at their website and honestly review it.
