Lens Of Liberty

I see protests on TV and sometimes wonder if the demonstrators even understandwhat they’re protesting. Now, a report by the National Association of Scholars,says many university courses aimed at understanding the American system, havebeen replaced by vocational classes on how to undermine it. Instead of teaching thefoundations of constitutional law, individual freedom, and self-government, thesenew courses now teach how to organize protests, occupy buildings, and stagedemonstrations. Americans citizens have always enjoyed the right to protestpolicies with which they disagree. But looking through the lens of liberty is avital first step, in understanding the very system that guarantees the right to protest.Without that basic understanding of our founding principles, students are actuallybeing cheated of the opportunity to be full participants in our republic. Theyshould protest that!
