Educators and Students Lack Knowledge of Founding US Documents
ignorance in Basics of historical documents

Parents should be deeply concerned that many schools are failing to teach children the basics of America’s founding documents. The Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Federalist Papers are not just history lessons—they are the blueprint for how our nation works and the guarantee of our freedoms. When students graduate without knowing these principles, they lack the tools to understand their rights and responsibilities as citizens. This gap in knowledge leaves them vulnerable to misinformation and unable to fully participate in the civic life of our country.
For families, this means children are missing out on the very education that prepares them to be thoughtful, engaged adults. Instead of learning the values of liberty, limited government, and the separation of powers, too many classrooms focus on fleeting trends or political activism. Parents should recognize that when schools neglect these fundamentals, their children are not being equipped to defend the freedoms they will one day inherit. A generation that does not understand the foundation of America risks losing the ability to protect it.
Looking ahead, the future of the nation depends on restoring civic education. If children are taught to respect and understand the founding documents, they will grow into citizens who can preserve the republic and safeguard liberty. Parents play a vital role in demanding that schools return to teaching these essentials. America’s strength has always come from informed citizens who know their rights and responsibilities. Without that knowledge, the next generation cannot carry forward the promise of freedom that defines our country.
