I see protests on TV and sometimes wonder if the demonstrators even understand

what they’re protesting. Now, a report by the National Association of Scholars,

says many university courses aimed at understanding the American system, have

been replaced by vocational classes on how to undermine it. Instead of teaching the

foundations of constitutional law, individual freedom, and self-government, these

new courses now teach how to organize protests, occupy buildings, and stage

demonstrations. Americans citizens have always enjoyed the right to protest

policies with which they disagree. But looking through the lens of liberty is a

vital first step, in understanding the very system that guarantees the right to protest.

Without that basic understanding of our founding principles, students are actually

being cheated of the opportunity to be full participants in our republic. They

should protest that!
