York Homeschool Seminar

This afternoon I had the pleasure of leading the York Homeschool Association in a study and discussion of The History, Philosophy, and Lasting Significance of the Declaration of Independence. It was a great time of presenting and discussing truth with knowledge-hungry students and parents. I thank you all who came. Now, based on our discussions, I want to point you to the following articles for further reading:

The Roots of America's Political Parties - This article explains the reality behind our nation's political parties.

America's Heritage - Regarding the textbook controversy in Texas.

Foundational Truth: The Separation of Church and State - Regarding the importance of a proper separation of Church and State.

The Founding Fathers On Education - Regarding the views of our founders on public education.

"Forgotten Lessons from the Nullification Crisis"

The Declaration of Independence - A Miraculous Human Rights Document

From NCCS.net.

Just prior to July 4 th , 1981, Parade Magazine asked President Ronald Reagan to write an article which he entitled, “What July 4th Means to Me.” In his own words, he penned the message which included the following account:

“There is a legend about the day of our nation's birth in the little hall in Philadelphia , a day on which debate had raged for hours. The men gathered there were honorable men hard-pressed by a king who had flouted the very laws they were willing to obey. Even so, to sign the Declaration of Independence was such an irretrievable act that the walls resounded with the words "treason, the gallows, the headsman's axe," and the issue remained in doubt. . .

"Fear the Boom and Bust"

This incredibly entertaining music video explains in brief the Hayek Vs. Keynes debate which more-or-less framed economic discussion in the twentieth century. Keeping with the historic marginalization of F.A. Hayek (one of the most brilliant minds the world has ever seen), this video presents the truth of the debate.

Movie Night at the Biery House

Date/Time:
Friday, June 11, 2010
7:00 to 9:00 pm

Place:
The Historic Biery House

Catasauqua, PA 18032

We plan to show Part TWO of the documentary "Founding Brothers" followed by group discussion as time allows:

Based on Joseph Ellis's Pulitzer Prize winning book, "Founding Brothers" examines six moments when the collision and collusions of these towering figures left an indelible imprint on the nation: the secret dinner that determined the site of the capital and America's financial future; Benjamin Franklin's call for an end to slavery; George Washington's farewell address to the nation; John Adams's term as president; Hamilton and Burr's famous and fatal duel; and the final reconciliation between Adams and Jefferson.

There will be no charge for entrance, but we will accept donations for use of the Biery House. We hope to see you there!

Finding the Biery House:
The house is on the left almost immediately after crossing the Race Street Bridge (heading East) in Catasauqua.

Parking Information:
Follow the driveway beside the house all the way to a gravel parking lot at the back of the house (please do not park next to the house).
