Jefferson’s education built America’s foundation of freedom

Thomas Jefferson would be horrified by what America’s woke universities have become

The founding fathers fought a revolution to create a nation of free thinkers.

Now America’s universities are churning out ideological robots. And Thomas Jefferson would be horrified by what America’s woke universities have become.

When Thomas Jefferson sat down to write the Declaration of Independence, he didn’t just pull those revolutionary ideas out of thin air. The concepts that launched the American experiment came directly from Jefferson’s college years at William and Mary, (where my Mother went to college) where he studied under Dr. William Small from 1760 to 1762.

Dr. Small didn’t teach Jefferson to hate America or divide people into victim groups. Instead, he opened Jefferson’s mind to Enlightenment philosophy, natural rights, and the radical idea that people could govern themselves.

Jefferson himself said those college teachings "probably fixed the destinies of my life."

That’s what real education looks like – expanding minds, not closing them.

The founding fathers would be shocked to learn that the institutions they created to preserve liberty have become the biggest threat to American freedom.
