The Claremont Institute s Counterrevolution to Save America | RealClearWire
Claremont Institute president Ryan Williams says that American civic education faces an acute crisis. In his estimation, essentially every institution the vast complex of media, Big Tech, Hollywood, Fortune 500 companies, and education and government bureaucracies teaches vicious lies about America s Founders and our nation s heritage, heroes, accomplishments, and people.
Williams argues that what passes for civic education today advances the goal of wholesale revolution and the institution of a monstrous and unnatural tyranny.
In light of these daunting circumstances, however, he counsels hope: We at Claremont are happy warriors, and there s no work we d rather be doing with friends and fellow citizens.
Williams describes The Claremont Institute, founded in 1979, as a think tank fomenting a counterrevolution to recover civic education through teaching, writing, and litigation. Its mission, he continues, is to restore the natural law and natural rights principles of the Declaration of Independence, the ingenious political science of the Constitution, and the popular constitutionalism and reverence necessary for the maintenance of free government to their rightful, preeminent authority in our national life.
