Vision Statement

This blog is concerned with aspects of education in U.S. public schools. In particular we are concerned that students graduate high school with a thorough grasp of the founding documents: the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. We are concerned with any attempts to “deconstruct” our national narratives and national symbols and thus “deconstruct” the concept of an American identity.

We are uninterested in simply adding requirements to the existing school curriculum; we are interested in a specific result: high school graduates who are conscious of the nature of their country’s government, can immediately recognize proposals and ideologies that are contradictory to their country’s nature and are fully equipped to preserve, support and argue for their country. Put another way, we believe that a high school graduate should fully understand what it means to be an American.

Americans are not Americans simply because of geography or ancestry. The contrast between America and the two countries that we share geography and common borders with, Canada and Mexico, is very clear. Leaving aside recent immigrants, Americans are descendents of people who have transferred from other cultures and assimilated into ours. More than any other citizenship, American citizenship is a state of mind and concepts. Americans share certain fundamental beliefs and principles. Americans understand that our country’s founding documents, the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, are the foundation for these beliefs and principles. In our view, American citizenship cannot be fully grasped by a person who is oblivious as to what it means to be an American.

Such a high school graduate would immediately recognize assertions such as “It is illegal of America to wage war without the approval of the UN.” as false because they would already know that the U.S. constitution has not a single word regarding the UN Security Council. Such a high school graduate would be troubled by a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that cited foreign law because he would know that our Constitution is the supreme law of our land. Put another way, such a high school graduate would be much more resistant than the average current high school graduate to any attempt to warp the popular mind-set about the United States in ways contradictory to its actual nature.

Our opponents are those are patriots of an America that only exists in their aspirations. Those who seek an America that can be constrained by an UN Security Council vetoes paid for in the coin of Oil-of-Food bribes are our opponents. Those who seek an America that resembles the socialist European Union are our opponents. Those how seek to redefine the word “democracy” such that key political units are ascriptive groups (that is, the racial, ethnic, or gender groups into which one is born) rather than the individual citizen, who forms voluntary associations and works with fellow citizens regardless of race, sex, or national origin are also our opponents.

In America, there are those who intend to educate public school students with a transmuted version of America so as to effect a slow-motion regime change; transforming America into a country that is fundamentally at odds with its own constitution. We are on the "regime maintenance" side of the struggle, our opponents are for "regime transformation."
