BECAUSE curriculums in schools must provide opportunities for students to understand the history of governmental fiscal responsibility and fiscal irresponsibility, and

BECAUSE basic government curriculums must provide a study of the struggles and sacrifices made in the development of our government, and

BECAUSE the most accurate resources for identifying the process and the achievements of our founders are the writings of participants such as, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John Locke, Adam Smith, and
