I like the concept though the syllabus could use a little tweaking IMV. I'd rather see it referred to as a civics class though. Patriotism, in my book, isn't something that comes out of a can, box, jar, or ... classroom ... it is felt, not taught.

SSgt (Join to see) - One can defend (teach) until hell freezes over ... and a student may even pass the class ... but that does not him or her a patriot make. I stand by my comment.

Was not trying to detract from your statement. I was trying to reinforce it sir. One needs to embrace the values, make it their own, before becoming a patriot. A class can teach some of it. The student HAS to engage it, live it, immerse themselves in it.

The first book I had published was written for college students with a third grade reading level. Imagine that. This concept seems similar. Remedial civics for those who never had civics classes before they got to college.

Patriotic Education and Fitness sounds like a class you would find in North Korea, not the USA. I wonder just what an evangelical college will teach in regards to US politics. And I hate to tell them, but reading a map and tying knots have absolutely nothing to do with patriotism.
