James Madison, the Father of our Constitution, stated in Federalist 55 that the moral character of a people, shaped by education, is crucial in a nation where the people are in charge. This belief in the importance of education is not as prevalent in America today. The government now has more involvement in education than before, focusing on regulating admissions and hiring based on race and gender, and promoting "multicultural" curricula that diminish America's Western heritage. The character of citizens is often ignored by the government.
It is concerning that the government seems indifferent, or even hostile, to the type of education that the Founding Fathers deemed necessary for preserving liberty, such as the education provided at Hillsdale College. This suggests that in many ways, the government has become apathetic, or even antagonistic towards liberty.
Hillsdale College dedicates a significant part of its efforts to promoting liberty and its moral foundations throughout the country. A key component of this mission is Imprimis, a national monthly publication featuring speeches from Hillsdale conferences by advocates of limited government, free enterprise, individual rights, personal responsibility, and strong national defense. Imprimis started with a small circulation but has grown significantly over the years, now reaching over a million readers.
The book "Educating for Liberty" compiles thirty speeches from the first 360 published in Imprimis, some dating back to its inception and others more recent. These speeches, authored by prominent figures such as Larry P. Arnn, Russell Kirk, and Margaret Thatcher, uphold a high standard as Imprimis continues to look towards the future. Each speech is valuable and contributes to the promotion of liberty and its fundamental principles.
