Today in my "Age of Hamilton & Jefferson" course we discussed Jefferson's belief that Americans need to be educated because only by understanding their nation & its history can they recognize threats & defend it
An educated public was a tool against tyranny.
Yup.
Thus current attacks on knowledge.

Ss shared morning routines-recalling breakfast was a fave! 🥓 🧇 🥟 😋
Then we and discussed how the govt was involved. Students were surprised to discover govt’s active role in their lives. 🗺️
