From The Center Square: In honor of the nation’s 250th birthday, the U.S. Department of Education will enable students to learn American history through a new grant program.
“This new program will fund seminars that equip educators and students with the knowledge and civic values needed to uphold the freedoms we enjoy,” Acting Assistant Secretary for the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education Hayley Sanon said in a Department of Education news release.
“As our nation’s 250th birthday approaches, the Department of Education is providing grantees with an opportunity to celebrate the roots of our constitutional republic and teach students about America’s Founding principles and the responsibilities of citizenship,” Sanon said.

The purpose of this discretionary grant program – the American History and Civics Seminars grant – “is to promote new and existing evidence-based strategies to encourage innovative American history, civics and government, and geography instruction,” according to a Federal Register notice on the subject.
The Department of Education’s release said that seminars receiving the grant “must study the American political tradition (ideas, traditions, institutions, and texts essential to American constitutional government and American history) with a focus on the first principles of the Founding, their inclusion in the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.”
“Priority will be given to applicants from institutions of higher education that have established independent academic units dedicated to civic thought, constitutional studies, American history, political leadership, and free market economics,” the release explained.
When asked for comment, the Department of Education referred The Center Square to its press release as well as a Federal Register notice.
Other 250th celebrations that have taken place in the nation include an army parade and firework show, as The Center Square reported.
In honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States Army, thousands gathered in Washington D.C. for a day “dedicated to honoring the service and sacrifices of the brave men and women whose calling is to defend the nation,” The Center Square reported.
Future plans to celebrate the nation’s 250th birthday include remarks by President Donald Trump at Iowa’s State Fair, a creative contest for those in third through twelfth grade, and more – with not all events yet announced.

Praise God for this Godly direction and protection for the children.
“Blessed is the Nation whose GOD is the LORD.” Psalm 33:12. Praying LORD For a revival in America, for both young and old. May a truthful understanding of America’s Godly historical values of righteousness and truth restore a love for GOD and country. May patriotism return. In JESUS’ Glorious, Victorious Name. Amen.
Now THIS is a GOOD use of our taxpayer funds! We block any interference by the enemy in the form of lawsuits, congressional bills, false reporting by the media & loose an anointing of truth for the Department of Education. In Jesus’ name!
PTL: I’ve been praying for recitation for the pledge of allegiance in public schools.
Lord, we bind every deceptive motive and spirit that would divide this nation with new concepts and ideas that are founded in Globalism, Humanism, and the spirit of Anti-Christ, etc. Father, we loose the Spirit of Truth and the blood of Jesus over this venture. Lord, we ask for a flood of Bible based and moral teachers to teach these classes. We bind any other agenda from succeeding. Lord, we seek righteousness and justice. We decree that our students will hear and embrace righteousness and hate evil. We declare the enemy will NOT have our children, IN JESUS NAME. AMEN.
YHVH, an accurate understanding of one’s history is essential to providing a foundation for forming one’s future. That is true spiritually, as well as naturally. It is true for us personally and nationally. There is a tendency to either glamorize or demonize one’s history, but neither extreme is ever accurate.. Many of our nation’s young people are caught in the mire of the current tendency to demonize. I thank You for providing an opportunity for them to reconsider our history in light of actual historical documents and information – not skewed by any agenda to turn them against the nation that gives them the liberty to do so. May they see Your hand at work, in the founding and preservation of our nation. May they see the necessity of trusting You to continue to preserve our union, for it is under attack from within and from without.
Praying
Lord,
I stand in agreement with my brothers and sisters in Christ in Thanking you for this grant. I also pray that the messages and education that our children receive is the whole truth of American history. I pray that the curriculums developed are not glamorized or lacking in detail, but that they are authentic and inclusive of American history in its totality. In Jesus name, Amen
Praying for God to provide wisdom to all leaders and leadership.
