SPONSORED Dear Fellow American,   You've probably noticed the spread of anti-American ideology into every area of American life. Consider the 2019 controversy surrounding the Betsy Ross flag. Even though this was a few years ago, you still may have heard of it.   Shortly before Independence Day, Nike announced its plans to release an athletic shoe featuring the Betsy Ross flag. Then Nike spokesman Colin Kaepernick objected, condemning the flag as a symbol of racism and slavery. You won't be surprised to learn that a social media storm followed, with Nike announcing that it was halting the production of the shoe. The Kaepernick episode illustrates the problem of progressive education, which seeks to rewrite our nation's history, and undermine the kind of informed patriotism essential to preserving liberty. Now that you know what a few others think of the Betsy Ross flag... ...I hope you will give us your thoughts about the teaching of American history, including the American Revolution and the Declaration of Independence, by taking a short survey. Just follow this link to share your opinion:  https://lp.hillsdale.edu/betsy-ross-flag-survey/ Like the frenzy for tearing down statues that we witnessed in cities not long ago, the Nike shoe controversy is the bitter fruit of the progressive educational agenda. I hope I can count on you to help us confront this destructive ideology with the truth about American history. Please share your thoughts with us today!
