Dear Friend of Liberty,

As a fellow patriot, I’d like to send you a Betsy Ross flag.

( [link removed] )
The design of this flag, with its 13 stripes and circle of 13
stars—representing America’s original 13 colonies—is a powerful
symbol of the American Revolution and of the principles on which
the Revolution was fought.

In the words of the Declaration of Independence, “We hold these
truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that
they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of
Happiness.”

Throughout most of our nation’s history, Americans learned about
and revered these ideas.

Sadly, because of the Left’s hijacking of history education in so
many of our schools, this is no longer true.

Consider the 2019 controversy surrounding the Betsy Ross flag I
mentioned above.

When, shortly before Independence Day, Nike announced its plans
to release an athletic shoe featuring the Betsy Ross flag, Nike
spokesman Colin Kaepernick objected, condemning the flag as a
symbol of racism and slavery. A social media storm followed.

Consequently, Nike announced that it was halting production of
the shoe.

This controversy was trivial. But the episode points to something
else…

What is NOT trivial is the attempt to spread anti-American
ideology into every area of American life…

....and the fact that too many in positions of authority
immediately retreat when confronted by political correctness and
anti-Americanism.

The Kaepernick episode illustrates the problem of progressive
education, which seeks to rewrite our nation’s history and
undermine the kind of informed patriotism that is essential to
preserving liberty.

Instead of learning to love America, many students today learn to
hate it.

The Nike shoe controversy, like the frenzy for tearing down
statues that we witnessed in so many of America’s cities last
summer, is the bitter fruit of this progressive educational
agenda.

We must confront this destructive ideology with the truth about
American history.

And we must nurture an informed patriotism among the young if our
liberty is to be preserved. As always, liberty’s only sure
defense is an educated citizenry prepared to defend it.

This is why your support of Hillsdale College is so important.

Hillsdale’s educational outreach efforts reach and teach millions

I hope you will display your Betsy Ross flag at your home or
office. It reminds us of the debt we owe America’s Founders and
of our obligation to preserve liberty for future generations.

In that spirit, I hope you will stand with us as we continue to
provide the kind of education that has made possible our great
American heritage of liberty.
