A foundational concept from the Father of the Constitution. As Tom West and others argue, this is core to the Founders’ vision of government. Anytime Classical Education can encounter the great “political” minds, it is served well. The Federalist Papers stand as one of the best commentaries on the Constitution ever written, not to mention how much they pull on the Classical tradition. Remember, the American constitution is the “oldest, written, national” Constitution in the world (per Cary and McClellan). No small thing in the history of republics. #classicaleducation #classicalconversations #classicalconsulting

In high school, when I first started looking at colleges and universities, I knew Kent State University sounded familiar for some reason. A quick Google search let me know that I probably had heard about it in one of my history classes (or perhaps that one old song?). Even after visiting the campus and committing to Kent State, I didn’t full grasp the gravity or the importance of what the tragedy of May 4, 1970, truly meant. All Kent State incoming students learn about the events leading up to and following May 4, 1970. When I became a tour guide for prospective students, I became a steward of the May 4 tragedy story and history. I walked prospective students and their families through the Taylor Hall parking lot, where memorials to the four students killed stand in the middle of the parking lot. This year, reflecting on the Kent State shooting feels a bit different. It is impossible to consider the implications the student protests in the 1970s and not draw parallels to the protests happening on university and college campuses today. My alma mater’s name has been thrown around, both by those urging the National Guard to get involved and stop the protests, and those supporting the students. Kent State’s President Todd Diacon put it well: “My point isn’t to wade into the protests, their structure, demands and organization, nor the opposition to them. Instead, I will simply say this as an historian and as the president of Kent State University: Our history is a bitter and vivid reminder of what happens when division and polarization crowd out peaceful dialogue and the search for understanding. To avoid this division and polarization, we embrace free speech while at the same time encouraging members of our community to practice kindness and respect when debating issues of the day. This is aspirational, we know. The alternatives can be dangerous.” #FlashesForever

Great share Sir! Notice # 17 & 19. We're allowing the Communists to achieve their goals. We must stop this! 🛑 America First! #17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks. #19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

Finally here and hot off the press!!! As I mentioned previously, my latest publication, "The Culture Wars Come to Pennsylvania: The Elizabethtown Area School Board & the "Pro-Family" Resolution, 1996-97" will be featured in the Historical Society of Pennsylvania's Magazine of History & Biography. The article tells the story of how national political trends that were sweeping the scene in the 1990s, helped to influence what would have been a sleepy School Board election in Elizabethtown, Lancaster County, the fallout that followed, and what we can learn about current political trends in this same community as a new era of political turmoil approaches.

In a new essay for the American Association of Colleges and Universities' Liberal Education magazine, Nick Longo reflects on the vital role of colleges and universities as what Teagle president Andrew Delbanco has called "rehearsal spaces for democracy": "We won’t be able to overcome increasing political polarization in society or public mistrust in higher education through one-time lectures or detached analysis. Rather, we need to think about campuses themselves as what Andrew Delbanco, president of the Teagle Foundation (which works to support liberal education), calls 'rehearsal spaces for democracy.' This means colleges and universities need to create opportunities for students to engage in practices that are the lifeblood of a healthy democracy: listening to others, participating in constructive conversations, weighing tensions and trade-offs, working collaboratively, and responding to real-world problems with responsible action."
