Teach Them Diligently 2019 – Nashville

We had a great time at the Teach Them Diligently event in Nashville this weekend.  I want to thank everyone who stopped by the booth; it was great to see others so passionate about our Constitution.  Not only did we have some excellent discussions, but you’ve given me some very good ideas about things I can work on.  Keep an eye on the website to find out if and when your idea comes to life.  For those of you who took the quiz, I will be posting some data once I’ve analyzed the responses.  Don’t worry, all the quizzes are anonymous.

My session on Three Myths about the Constitution went VERY well.  I was truly blessed not only by the number of people who showed up, but by your engagement.  I was sent a video showing the number of people who overflowed the room.  I guess if I go back next year I can use that as evidence that we’ll need a larger room.  I couldn’t see all of you spilling out into the hallway, but I heard several were taking notes and even checking out some of my resources and references for yourself.  Good job!  Many of you stopped by the booth and mentioned how much you enjoyed the session.  I was asked several times if there would be a recording available, so  I’ve decided to record a video of the material and make it available on the web.

For reasons beyond my control, some of you were disappointed by the fact my session on “What is a Right” didn’t happen.  As an apology, I will make a video of that material and post it on the web as well.

If you didn’t get a chance to sign up for your free essay, “Reading the Declaration”, don’t fear; you can still sign up here and get your free copy.  And since you’ll be on the mailing list, you’ll find out when the book and online study will be available.

Again, I thank all of you who stopped by.  If you’d like me to come to an event near you, just ask, and I’ll see if I can make it.

Like many of you, I am a product of the public schools. Like many of you I thought the Constitution was for lawyers and judges. One day I read the Constitution, and was surprised to find I didn't need a law degree to understand it. Then I read the Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers and even the Anti-Federalist Papers. As I learned more and more about our founding fathers and documents I saw how little we know about how our country was designed to work and how many people just didn't care. I started The Constitution Study to help those who also want read and study our Constitution.
