We may be at a tipping point. Which way out culture goes is the question.
Turns out 2015 is the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta, the first enumeration of the individual rights that in England came from time immemorial. If you listen to this talk by Canadian professor John Robson on Magna Carta, you’ll learn a much different but more vibrant story than is passed on in the dreary history of where our freedom and system of government came from in K-12. The history had many times when kings sought to subordinate the Parliament. Perhaps we are nearing a time for our own executive branch to suffer the fate of those kings. As Professor Robson relates, “Been there, done that, got beheaded”.
