(cont'd from yesterday's post)
It's easy to understand the frustration of many Gen Z people with their governments. Corruption abounds, even in our own country, because human beings are flawed in our very nature and every government is made of human beings. Flawless people will never run countries.
The American founders were well aware of this--it is a Christian truth--and tried to devise a government that would make corruption harder to do. Our resulting constitution and principles of governance have been the envy of the world for 250 years.
But even many American young people today would be clueless if they had to put a governing system in place, as those in Nepal were. How many have learned from their American education just what principles made America successful?
The answer is: few of them.
Hillsdale College does teach the principles that created America. Their professors are available to you through their free online courses. I recommend them to you, and I just signed up for Constitution 101.
