Core Beliefs
- Too many of our youth do not know enough about our nation’s past and the ideals and values that underlie our democracy, the longest-lasting in history.
“History education has gone off the rails” reported the Wall Street Journal, citing a Roper Poll in which 40% of college seniors had no idea when the Civil War occurred.
- Ignorance about history on the part of our youth bodes ill for the future of our country.
“Trying to plan for the future without a sense of the past is like trying to plant cut flowers.”—Former Librarian of Congress Daniel Boorstin
- Entertainment is the key to engaging our youth and igniting their education.
“As a life-long advocate of the importance of education for all Americans, I heartily endorse Quill Entertainment’s idea to use entertainment to engage and educate our young people about the enduring values of our people and our nation.”—Former Secretary of Education Richard W. Riley
- Teachers need exciting new educational tools to enable them to help their students meet the requirements of state and national standards testing.
“I am overwhelmed with tests. Anything to make preparing for them easier, faster, and more fun is something I want to know about. “—Karen Warren, 5th Grade Teacher, Strath Haven Elementary, Swarthmore, PA
