If you are looking for a fix to the crisis we are all seeing in Civics Education, some school administrators have figured it out. Ask your Superintendent making a six-figure salary, why they haven’t figured out this simple solution. It took the students and parents to wake up their administrators, but now you know what you need to do.
Recently, 76 Emmett students and parents petitioned the school district to start an Innovation Classroom that would adopt the Hillsdale 1776 Curriculum, a program focused on an honest representation of civics and the American founding.
Instead of public schools disintegrating, they can actually offer students a quality public education. They can educate all students, including students of color, which would provide them the quality education they deserve. That’s true social justice.
Emmett parents are setting an example for other parents by utilizing Innovation Classrooms to provide students with an alternative to politicized history. The Hillsdale curriculum is designed for students to learn “American history from the colonies through the Civil War, at four separate times during their K-12 years, each time increasing in depth.”
In fact, the curriculum was made by professors and teachers, not activists or bureaucrats. It uses primary sources and factual documents, not the latest political narrative.
Let’s work together to return public education to an institution of excellence instead of a program of indoctrination. That supports public education, teachers, and students.
