Overview

FreedomCivics was developed by a team of teachers and historians for the Freedom Education Foundation (FEF) to provide an accurate history of the founding of the United States of America, with a focus on the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, and the U.S. Constitution. The 20-session civics course includes history of the American colonies, the Revolutionary War, free enterprise, and a balanced portrayal of American history. Recognizing the problems of slavery and poor treatment and denial of civil rights of many, it also addresses the efforts of the Founders and our forefathers to work for a more perfect union by passing new laws and amending the Constitution. It concludes with examples of contemporary challenges to the Constitution and to encourage students to be good citizens and protect the rights it guarantees. There are two workbooks for the FreedomCivics course, a Student Workbook and a Teacher Workbook. The two workbooks are identical except that the Teacher Workbook includes the 50 minute Lesson Plans, the answers to activities and quizzes, and additional resources.

The FreedomCivics course will help motivate a new generation to take a positive, active role in public life. Bruce K. Chapman, Founder of the Discovery Institute Former Ambassador, and Director of the U.S. Census FreedomCivics provides valuable resources for the kind of civics Education that we so desperately need to bring into our schools. It clearly explains the principles upon which our nation was founded and how the structure of our government was designed to fulfill and protect those principles. Students will find it both enlightening and inspiring. Wilfred M. McClay, PhD Author, Land of Hope Now more than ever, our kids need to learn about our heritage of freedom, free markets, and individual rights. The FreedomCivics course is instrumental because it teaches us what makes America truly exceptional. Steve Moore, Economist & Television Commentator We really like the fact that your civics course has 20 sessions and that it is 'turn-key.' We will do all we can to help you get it into schools across America. David Randall, Director of Research, National Association of Scholars The FreedomCivics course tells us the magic of America through our Founding Documents. The Declaration of Independence tells us the purpose of government is to protect our rights. The Constitution tells us how best to get it done. Our rights are not to be auctioned to a popular majority but protected by a vigilant judiciary. In America the individual is king, and none other. Richard B. Sanders, Esq., Former Washington State Supreme Court Justice
