Preserving our constitutional freedoms requires each generation of citizens to understand the Constitution’s purposes and principles. Correspondingly, ignorance of the Constitution represents a threat to our freedoms. This is why Hillsdale College requires its students to complete a one-semester course on the Constitution. And why Hillsdale helps launch and guide classical K-12 schools nationwide that provide students with a proper understanding of American history and government. Today, we ask you what you think of the quality of civics education in your state and community. Your feedback will help us shape our strategy as we expand our educational outreach to millions more Americans.
