## Resource

While the government school system does everything in its power to paint the United States as a uniquely evil country that should inspire shame and guilt in students, there are still those who find inspiration in America's founding as a nation conceived in liberty — a land of opportunity for all. Matt Kibbe is joined by Kelley Paul, wife of Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and the author of a new series of children's books designed to teach kids about what makes America special. "Goodnight, Young American" and "Goodnight, Little American" present the stories of American history to different age groups in a way that highlights the founders' vision of freedom from tyranny, self-governance, and the protection of basic human rights, all of which were absent from the European nations the colonists left behind.
