Friend of Liberty,

As a fellow intelligent patriot, I=E2=80=99d like to send you a Betsy Ross =
flag.

[link removed]
ecting&utm_medium=3Demail&utm_campaign=3Dbetsy_ross_flag&sc=3DMK820EM11&utm=
_content=3Dmustard-seed-secure-prosper

The design of this flag, with its 13 stripes and 13 stars=E2=80=94represent=
ing America=E2=80=99s original 13 colonies=E2=80=94dates to the American Re=
volution.

The Betsy Ross flag evokes the Founding Era. A time where the principles of=
the Declaration of Independence were first set forth: that =E2=80=9Call me=
n are created equal,=E2=80=9D that they are =E2=80=9Cendowed by their Creat=
or with certain unalienable rights, [and] that among these are life, libert=
y, and the pursuit of happiness.=E2=80=9D

These principles have been a source of unity and pride among all Americans =
throughout most of our nation=E2=80=99s history.

Sadly, this is no longer the case, and the cause is the Left=E2=80=99s hija=
cking of American education and how too many of our public schools teach hi=
story.

As an indication of the Left=E2=80=99s influence in promoting anti-American=
bias, consider the 2019 controversy surrounding the same Betsy Ross flag.

That year, just before Independence Day, Nike announced plans to release an=
athletic shoe featuring this Betsy Ross flag.

Almost immediately, sparked by the objections of Nike spokesman Colin Kaepe=
rnick, a social media storm condemned the Betsy Ross flag as a symbol of ra=
cism and slavery.

As a result, Nike backed down and announced that it was halting production =
of the shoe.

This athletic shoe issue was trivial. But the episode points to something e=
lse=E2=80=A6

What is NOT trivial is the push to insert anti-American ideology into every=
aspect of American life=E2=80=A6

....and that too many in positions of authority back down to the loud voice=
s of political correctness and anti-Americanism.

This is how progressives are rewriting our nation=E2=80=99s history, and un=
dermining the informed patriotism essential to preserving liberty.

If successful, they will transform American government and remake society a=
ccording to their ever-changing ideas of =E2=80=9Cprogress.=E2=80=9D

The Nike shoe controversy, and everything we=E2=80=99ve witnessed in the la=
st few months, is the bitter fruit of their =E2=80=9Clong march through edu=
cation.=E2=80=9D

We must confront this destructive ideology on the battlefield of education.

And we must nurture informed patriotism among young Americans if our nation=
, and the liberty that has been its hallmark, are to be saved for future ge=
nerations. Because as always, liberty=E2=80=99s only sure defense is an edu=
cated citizenry prepared to defend it.

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

Hillsdale=E2=80=99s educational outreach efforts reach and teach millions o=
f Americans of all ages, especially young people.

These efforts provide citizens of all ages with the knowledge they need to =
understand and defend our great American heritage of liberty.

Your generous support today will:


One other thing you should be aware of=E2=80=A6

To maintain its independence, Hillsdale College undertakes all of this work=
while refusing EVERY PENNY of government funding=E2=80=94even indirectly i=
n the form of federal or state student grants and loans. NOT. ONE. PENNY.

So, your support is even more crucial to ensuring that future generations o=
f Americans will be educated in American civics and prepared to defend free=
dom.

With a gift of $76 or more today to support educational outreach efforts th=
at reach and teach millions, Hillsdale will send you a 3' x 5' Betsy Ross F=
lag to thank you for your support. Supplies are limited, so please make you=
r best tax-deductible gift right away.

You can give your best tax-deductible gift of $25, $50, $100, or even $250 =
or more by following the secure link below:

I hope you will display your Betsy Ross flag in your home or office. It is =
a historical reminder of the debt we owe America=E2=80=99s Founders and our=
obligation to pass liberty on to future generations.

In that same spirit, let us continue to defend our great American heritage =
of liberty and work to revive limited government under the Constitution thr=
ough education.

Your support would honor us in the critical year ahead.

Friend of Liberty,

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

[link removed]

The design of this flag, with its 13 stripes and 13 stars—representing America’s original 13 colonies—dates to the American Revolution.

The Betsy Ross flag evokes the Founding Era. A time where the principles of the Declaration of Independence were first set forth: that “all men are created equal,” that they are “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, [and] that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

These principles have been a source of unity and pride among all Americans throughout most of our nation’s history.

Sadly, this is no longer the case, and the cause is the Left’s hijacking of American education and how too many of our public schools teach history.

As an indication of the Left’s influence in promoting anti-American bias, consider the 2019 controversy surrounding the same Betsy Ross flag.

That year, just before Independence Day, Nike announced plans to release an athletic shoe featuring this Betsy Ross flag.

Almost immediately, sparked by the objections of Nike spokesman Colin Kaepernick, a social media storm condemned the Betsy Ross flag as a symbol of racism and slavery.

As a result, Nike backed down and announced that it was halting production of the shoe.

This athletic shoe issue was trivial. But the episode points to something else…

What is NOT trivial is the push to insert anti-American ideology into every aspect of American life…

....and that too many in positions of authority back down to the loud voices of political correctness and anti-Americanism.

This is how progressives are rewriting our nation’s history, and undermining the informed patriotism essential to preserving liberty.

If successful, they will transform American government and remake society according to their ever-changing ideas of “progress.”

The Nike shoe controversy, and everything we’ve witnessed in the last few months, is the bitter fruit of their “long march through education.”

We must confront this destructive ideology on the battlefield of education.

And we must nurture informed patriotism among young Americans if our nation, and the liberty that has been its hallmark, are to be saved for future generations. Because as always, liberty’s only sure defense is an educated citizenry prepared to defend it.
