Have you ever wondered why the founding principles of public education seem so distant today? In this captivating chapter, we shine a light on the wisdom of historical figures like Benjamin Rush and John Witherspoon, who originally envisioned public schools as institutions that instilled values of service to God, country, and family. We'll discuss how this vision has faded over time and underscore the critical role that active citizen engagement plays in safeguarding our nation's future. Hear the inspirational story of how bringing constitutional education to Independence Hall demonstrates the enduring importance of understanding and upholding our foundational history and values.
