Bruce Bawer Quotes
Clearly, Channing Had Not Taught Her Young Charges That The Declaration And Constitution, While Two Of The Noblest Documents In The History Of Humankind, Were Also, Naturally, Products Of Their Time That Reflected The Limitations Of Their Time (which, Needless To Say, Is Why The Constitution Has Been Amended So Many Times Since Its Ratification); No, She Had Taught Them To Revile The Founding Fathers - Men Whose Vision, Courage, And Sacrifice Made Possible The Freedom These Students Have Known (and Taken For Granted) All Their Lives. These Young Women Were Incapable Of Grasping That The Very Criteria By Which They Presumed To Judge The Author Of The Declaration And Constitution Would Not Be Available To Them If Not For Those Men's Efforts. To Say This, Of Course, Is Not To Blame These Students For Their Ignorance, But To Underscore Just How Profoundly Ill-served They Are By Courses Of This Sort.
