Hillsdale College's Reclaim America’s History
THREE-POINT NATIONAL BATTLE PLAN
1. Many Americans are concerned by the decline of patriotism in our country. In general, have you noticed a decreasing sense of patriotism, especially among young people? *
Yes
No
Not Sure/ Undecided
2. Are you concerned by polls suggesting that younger Americans are increasingly attracted to socialism and other ideas destructive of liberty? *
Yes
No
Not Sure/ Undecided
3. What concerns you the MOST about how history is being taught today in many of America’s K-12 schools, colleges, and universities? (Please check all that apply.) *
Young people are being taught that America is deeply flawed—something to be ashamed of.
Students are being deprived of lessons in civics and good citizenship.
Teaching that the ideals of America’s Founders are irrelevant today.
The Constitution is being misrepresented or completely ignored.
The Left wants slavery, not freedom, to define America’s history and character.
Not Sure/No Opinion
4. Hillsdale is one of only a handful of American colleges and universities that requires each student, regardless of major, to complete a one-semester course on the Constitution. Do you believe our nation would be stronger, and future generations better informed, if more colleges did the same? *
Yes
No
Not Sure/ Undecided
5. Hillsdale offers free online courses on the meaning and history of the Constitution, the importance of the Constitution to liberty, how the Constitution has been undermined over the past century, and what is required to restore limited government. Over 2.5 million people have taken one or more of these courses. Do you think this is an effective means of promoting liberty to a large number of Americans? *
Yes
No
Not Sure/ Undecided
6. To counteract the negative influence of
The New York Times’
“1619 Project” that highlights slavery instead of freedom as the central theme of America’s history, Hillsdale offers a course called “The Great American Story: A Land of Hope” that presents an unbiased and complete account of America’s past. Do you think it’s important for Hillsdale to be able to respond to the Left and provide timely courses relevant to the issues facing our nation today? *
Yes
No
Not Sure/ Undecided
7. Do you believe Hillsdale should put added focus on using social media, email, and other digital means to share our educational programs with young people who are currently enrolled in or recently graduated from college, and who may not have been given a complete or accurate look at America’s history? *
Yes
No
Not Sure/ Undecided
8.
Imprimis,
Hillsdale’s flagship publication on liberty, addresses political, cultural, and economic issues from a constitutional viewpoint. With a monthly circulation of over six million,
Imprimis
is America’s most widely-read publication in support of liberty. Would you like to see Hillsdale increase the circulation of
Imprimis,
and reach even more *
Yes
No
Not Sure/ Undecided
9. Hillsdale is educating American K-12 students through the Barney Charter School Initiative, which has assisted in the founding of 20 K-12 charter schools in ten states, teaching over 14,500 students every year. These schools offer an American classical education, with an emphasis on civics and character formation. Do you support this effort by Hillsdale to set a new standard for K-12 education and give young Americans a proper education in history and civics? *
Yes
No
Not Sure/ Undecided
10. Do you believe that K-12 schools in your area should be doing more to teach the young about America’s great heritage of liberty? *
Yes
No
Not Sure/ Undecided
11. Think about the “1619 Project,” which is being led by
The New York Times.
It is designed to influence the curricula of schools nationwide, with the goal of teaching young people that slavery, not freedom, defines America. Do you agree that such distorted teachings should NOT be incorporated in classrooms in your community? *
Yes
No
Not Sure/ Undecided
12. Through a dedicated outreach initiative launched by Hillsdale, over 680,000 pocket-sized copies of the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence have been distributed directly to K-12 schools throughout the country.

Yes
No
