Welcome to The Founding! Provided by the American Heritage Education Foundation (AHEF), The Founding is a blog that features articles, videos, research, and teaching ideas on America’s philosophical heritage for citizens, teachers, and homeschoolers.  It explores American rights and responsibilities and what it means to be an American, giving special attention to the Bible-based principles that shaped America’s foundations.  Studies confirm that this information is missing in many schools today and that Americans today are deficient in civic knowledge about our nation.

The Founding is a non-profit, non-partisan initiative that seeks to promote the understanding and teaching of America’s founding principles in order to preserve the American idea and to help restore an educated citizenry in our self-governing republic.

America Succeeds by Freedom, Unity, Progress, & Responsibility

We support the ideas of Freedom, Unity, Progress, and Responsibility (FUPR).  We believe that without the teaching and learning of these four concepts, America, as we know it, is at risk. For more information on FUPR, see http://americanheritage.org/index.php/en-us/fupr.

This blog is inclusive of individuals of every race and creed and of every religious and non-religious persuasion who respect every American’s natural rights as recognized in the U. S. Declaration of Independence and affirmed by law in the U. S. Constitution.

We invite you to respond to articles, share relevant ideas, draw your own conclusions, and let us know if you find this site useful. We’d love to hear from you.

Teachers and homeschoolers:  Check out our educational activities featured at the bottom of each blog. See below!

Yours Truly,
The Founding Team
