The Unraveling of We The People

In his Inaugural Address, President Washington peered into the future of a fledgling United States of America and identified the one thing that would hold our people together – or tear the nation apart. He said that the foundation of “our National policy will be laid in the pure and immutable principles of private morality.” Today, we see sexual bullying by Hollywood and Washington elites; racial unrest; a media war on traditional family values, and disregard for the Constitution by our political elites. We read on our money “IN GOD WE TRUST” yet ask “So why don’t we?” Instinctively, we know something has changed, and ask: What happened? That’s the question The Unraveling of We the People seeks to answer, and address. 

“The American Republic faces terrible challenges–and David Lantz tells us how we got here, and what we can do to start fixing matters. Anyone interested in America’s civic spirit and civic education should read this.” Dr. David Randall, National Association of Scholars

With the promise of increasing political turmoil ahead of America’s defenders of liberty and limited government, David Lantz’s The Unraveling of We the People serves as a clear, concise description of the current state of civics education, and as a prescription of the steps that need to be taken to restore civics education consistent with the nation’s founding principles. Lantz’s description avoids treating civics education as an isolated force in our culture, and yet his message is clear – if this nation is to recapture its potential, heritage-base civics education is the logical starting point.

In his book, The Unraveling of We the People, David carefully outlines and documents the reasons our nation finds itself in such distress as our form of government, foundation of Christian principles and our morality move steadily to shambles. We are indeed unraveling in many ways.   If you are like I am, you’ll be amazed at the depth of the plan that the progressive movement has followed and the “success” they have achieved. It is both alarming and sad to see how far we’ve fallen.  Now the good news: the war is not over!! 

Those of us who care about the state of affairs in America still have a pathway to turning things around. At the end of the book David outlines four obstacles that we must simultaneously overcome if we are to move forward and reverse the effects of the Unraveling. “Some might consider it an impossible task. But, it only seems impossible because it is hard to do, not because it is impossible to do.”

If you care about your country and the future of your children and grandchildren, I would highly recommend that you read this book. I’m sure that you will be motivated greatly to take action. It is not too late….but it is alarmingly late. I rejoice that, as one of the “Gray Champions”, even I can do something to help save our nation. I pray that you will join in this endeavor.
