We are fortunate to live in this time with Heather Cox Richardson!
She asked..."Are you still with me?"...My answer is:
I hung on every word and took notes!❤
I see healing of our Country's collective mental health by bringing back an emphasis on Liberal Arts and The Humanities!!!!
This humanities teacher agrees 😀
I look for her email every morning. Thank you, ma’am.
Glad to have this pop up on my TH-cam notifications. My college humanities class had me questioning much of the values i grew up with but opened up so much more of how different cultures viewed their worlds. This is another thought provoking session with HCR. Thanks for shari ng!
Thank you for speaking of the joy of
learning to argue ideas in the arena
of free thought and mutual respect🎉
It seems very odd to me that Richardson mentions the 1776 project, a very brief effort of the Trump administration, but does not mention the much larger effort that caused it, that is, the 1619 project. She does allude to it and, correctly in my view, criticizes it.
William F Buckley was preaching in the 50's. Boy, has it taken a LONG time to Push Back!!

Thank you for this informative, receptive, congenial discussion.

Putting "' in God we trust "' on the money is not explicit rejection of divine governance. It's more like the founding fathers had their fingers crossed ... behind their backs. Not that these men weren't doing their best in their time.
Ms. Richardson is sort of the sturmbahnfuhrer of academic history. A bit tight.
