We all know that our public school system is failing and American’s math and science scores are dropping internationally, but there’s another area of academia which is being neglected at school: the Law of Natural Rights.
Kids these days are never presented with the important study into the foundation of Natural Law and therefore blossom into adults, clueless on what government’s involvement into our lives should be. Instead, they are taught in government classes basic facts about our federal houses (never mentioning their inability to solve any problems, of course), briefly mention the Founding Fathers (without contrasting Madison’s and Hamilton’s ideologies), and discuss some of the larger Supreme Court decisions (such as Roe vs. Wade). Natural Rights are rarely, if ever, mentioned. This is a huge concern for the future generations of Americans, as it is only through the understanding of our Natural Rights that we can begin to understand the Founders’ intent when drafting the documents that would create our system of governance. As the size and obtrusiveness of our government continues to balloon, a lesson in Natural Law is necessary if we are to return sanity and freedom back to America.
What are our Natural Rights? Where do they come from? What do they have to do with government? The answer to these questions should be understood by every American and should be required on the exam to gain citizenship. Sadly, if Jay Leno’s ‘Jaywalking’ (the segment where he asks people off the street simple questions) is any sort of barometer for the basic knowledge of everyday Americans, I’m sure we’d be let down with their answers to the above questions. Let’s break the cycle of ignorance and solve these problems.
