It further shows that the current court is beginning to return to and uphold many values previ...

This book answers many questions, including: • How many of the Founding Fathers were Freemasons? • Is Freemasonry incompatible with Christianity? • Did the Founders imbed Masonic symbolism in Washington, dc and in our currency? • Was George Washington a Freemason and a Christian? • Is American Freemasonry the same today as it was 200 years ag...

The Second Amendment has become one of the most controversial parts of the Constitution. Gun opponents claim that “the right to keep and bear arms” is a right that belongs only to the police and military. However, the Founding Fathers who wrote the Second Amendment in 1789 disagreed. Read the Founders’ words and examine their early laws and State constitutions on the subject. The conclusion is inescapable that the guarantees of the Second Amendment pertain to every citizen individually. Further...

This volume presents three founding documents—The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution of the United States, and Washington’s “Farewell Address”—in an effort to strength our national foundation. The courage and wisdom of our Founding Fathers need not be a forgotten or disregarded page from the American epic. The principles they delivered to us are worthy of further study and contemplation. The great American experiment in self-government is worthy of continuing on and supporting us thro...

The American Revolution was to dream the unthinkable: fifty-six men who pledged their “lives, fortunes and sacred honor” to overthrow the world’s greatest military power. What was the spirit that motivated these men? What was the spirit behind the American Revolution? Learn the answers to these questions as you investigate both their words and their actions in The Spirit of the American Revolution. • Discover the meaning of the legal phrase on which the American Revolution was based: “The Laws ...

In their words, the Supreme Court has become “a national theology board,” “a super board of education,” and amateur psychologists on a “psycho-journey.” The result has been a virtual rewriting of the liberties enumerated in the Constitution. • A direct victim of this judicial micromanagement has been the religious aspect of the First Amendment. For example, the court now interprets that Amendment under: • A “Lemon Test” absurdly requiring religious expression to be secular • An “Endorsement T...

For a number of years the Dallas public schools allowed one-half credit toward high-school graduation for the successful completion of a general survey course in the Bible, given in the churches and Sunday schools of the city. In 1939, it was decided to provide separate courses in the Old and New Testaments, each course carrying one-half unit of credit toward high school graduation. In both the Old Testament and the New Testament study courses an attempt has been made to avoid controversial que...

Do you know what happened when religious principles were separated from public affairs? On June 25, 1962, the Supreme Court first struck down school prayer by prohibiting students from using this simple invocation: “Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and beg Thy blessing upon us, our parents, our teachers, and our Country.” Following this case, the Court began methodically expelling other religious principles; the effects have been evident. This book uses government statisti...

The New England Primer was the first textbook ever printed in America and was used to teach reading and Bible lessons in our schools until the twentieth century. In fact, many of the Founding Fathers and their children learned to read from The New England Primer.

Was America ever a so-called “Christian” nation? Were any of our Framers Christians? While this question has been asked frequently in recent years, previous generations knew the answer to these questions. Why did our Framers and early statesmen choose Christianity? Perhaps the best answer was provided by Dewitt Clinton, the Framer who introduced the Twelfth Amendment. He explained: “Christianity may be contemplated in two important aspects: first, in reference to its influence on this world, an...

In recent years, American government has been plagued with a burgeoning number of scandals and corrupt public officials, yet for almost two centuries American government had been characterized as sound and morally untainted.

Discover the keys to good government by investigating the wise counsel and instruction given to us by leaders like Wi...

As major changes in adolescent morality have become obvious in recent decades, many have suggested that those changes have occurred as a result of the influence of the moral content in television programming. They point out that TV programming has moved to new levels of promiscuity and sexual expression in recent years and contend that these changes have caused a reversal, or at least a major reshaping, of the moral norms evident in earlier years. This report will examine whether television prog...

Whereas Americans once enjoyed the finest fruits of judicial integrity, we now speak with distaste at the many unpalatable decisions served by our robed officials. Popular and long-standing religious expressions are muzzled; criminals are released on technicalities; jury verdicts are deemed irrelevant; the will of the people is ignored. All of these travesties, and more, are handed down from judges who hold their offices for life—who often rule not on the basis of the Constitution they swore to ...

In 1776, fifty-six Americans signed a simple document which unalterably changed the course of this country. Most know of the importance of the Declaration of Independence, but few know much about its signers. This book (originally published in 1848 by eminent 19th-century historian Benson J. Lossing) provides a brief biography of each signer of the Declaration. Accompanied by fifty engravings, these biographies shed light on what Lossing terms, “the chief events in the lives of the men who stoo...

In this piece, written for the prestigious Notre Dame Journal of Law, Ethics & Public Policy, David Barton examines the Supreme Court and lower courts’ extensive use of Thomas Jefferson’s phrase “wall of separation between Church and State” in forbidding public religious expressions and exposes the numerous historical fallacies inherent in these modern judicial opinions.

Noah Webster was an influential Founding Father, serving as a soldier during the American Revolution and as a legislator in two states after the Revolution. He was the first Founding Father to call for a Constitutional Convention and was personally responsible for the copyright clause found in Article I, Section 8, of the U.S. Constitution. Like most of the Founding Fathers, Webster understood that the ability of our new government to endure would depend upon the quality of our educational syst...

Dr. Benjamin Rush was a great American hero and role model. At the time of his death in 1813, he was heralded as one of America’s three most notable men, along with George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. And no wonder! He was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, served under three Presidents, helped found five universities and colleges, is titled “The Father of American Medicine,” led both the abolition and prison reform movements, and founded American Sunday Schools and the nation’s f...

America is now entering its fifth century of educating students. Throughout the first four centuries, impartation of three essential elements—religion, morality, and knowledge—was the core of the education system that produced some of the world’s greatest leaders in areas from science and government to theology and jurisprudence. In recent decades, however, the secularization of education has become the new American paradigm; and statistics clearly demonstrate that the more secular American educ...

Never in America’s history has there been the widespread official hostility to religious expression as experienced today: • A student was arrested for participating in a “See You At The Pole” voluntary prayer gathering before the start of the school day. • A federal judge warned that if students used the word “Jesus” in a prayer that they would receive “six months incarceration in the Galveston County jail.” • School officials require students to turn in their prayers in written form before...

With a divine mandate to train a child “in the way he should go,” education is one of the great responsibilities of today’s parent. American courts and schools once supported this mandate, accepting the moral training of our youth. The school day could begin with a prayer and Bible reading; discipline had meaning; religious holidays were respected; there was “free exercise” with “no establishment.” Confusion was minimal. Those days have vanished. This divine mandate now encounters the resistanc...

In recent years, the American educational system has become the object of professional criticism, public speculation, and extensive studies. In 1983, the Department of Education released the results of its own study of the condition of American education in A Nation at Risk. This study, now considered one of the premier exposes on the condition of education, has so impacted educational circles that the “at risk” phrase from the book’s title has become a buzzword in educational jargon. Academic t...
