Learning and Debating Constitutional Issues

In the video segments below I mention the Bill of Rights Institute and their summer Constitutional Academy.  I have recommended the Bill of Rights
Institute website and essay contests to students and parents attending Economic Thinking Workshops this year, and a number of homeschool students have attended past Constitutional Academy programs.

So you can follow links here to the BRI and Constitutional Academy web pages.  If you have questions or would like further information, please let me know.

At Economic Thinking Workshops each year I recommend market-oriented organizations whose books, studies, websites, and videos I think relevant on the year's debate topics. This year, in addition to recommending the Bill of Rights Institute, Hillsdale College's The Constitution Reader site was recommended, along with PovertyCure.org and various other websites and organizations.  -- Greg Rehmke, EconomicThinking.org.
