The Tampa Liberty School is a subgroup of the Tampa 912 Project, and is a first of its kind in the Tampa Bay area. This school is a great opportunity for children ages 8 to 12 to learn about the founding principles of the United States. The school is dedicated to educating, enlightening, and exciting the youth of America, as to the fundamental principles and beliefs on which this country was founded.

We strive to empower them with the knowledge and will to preserve these liberties for the future. During July, the Tampa Liberty School will be offered in the  Carrollwood area. The school will be hosted by The Paideia School of Tampa Bay, and will run over five days, July 9 through July 13. Hours will be 9:00 AM until noon each day. Activities are designed to teach the children while having fun. Please go to the website for more information and to register. Ages 8 to 12.

 

  Please contact Jeff Lukens for more details. Or, to register your child, please go tampalibertyschool.org.

 

Tampa Liberty School is designed to impart the principles of liberty as discovered and implemented by the founders of our county. Some of the main points of emphasis in the Tampa Liberty School include:

  • With freedom comes responsibility. Blending freedom and responsibility requires virtuous, moral, and educated citizens. 
  • Our unalienable human rights do not come from a king, a president, a congress, or any other form of government. They only come from God. We must know what they are and protect them.
  • People and political parties can become corrupted. We promote fundamental principles that are timeless and incorruptible.
  • Seek the truth by going to original sources. The founders' faith in God was fundamental to the founding of our country and the system the provided.
  • The ultimate responsibility for maintaining liberty lies with the people. We must recognize that it is up to us (the citizens) to be the guardians of our liberty.

It would be a great experience for kids in high school too! They will be voting in few years and have No idea what is going on in the US right now.

Too bad this is a Tea Party organization. I don't believe that religion should be taught in schools. That's why people choose a church that best reflects their beliefs. Wasn't our country founded on the separation of church and state. I'm 99.9% sure that's the main reason my ancestors migrated over.

If everyone would practice religious tolerance and the importance of individual conscience, then we wouldn't show such favoritism toward Israel, and there might be less "terrorism" as a result. We have chosen our sides and our battles, and many battles will follow because of the power and control that religion has infiltrated into our corrupt global system. The haves and havenots, or the 1% vs the 99. It's insulting to anyone of faith and God that his name is used for such vile hatred.

Our country was not founded on "separation of church and state". In the original education system "religion" and morals were expected to be taught in every school. Our founding fathers believed in 5 basic tenets of religion: there is a supreme being; man is given intelligence and is expected to recognize the existence of the supreme being; He has established a moral code for man to live by; man is responsible for his actions; and there is an afterlife where man will be held accountable. The founding fathers believed these 5 tenets were present in all major religions of the world, and expected them to be taught as religious principles in our schools. Any beliefs contrary to these were not to be allowed, as they would conflict with one of the main faiths and therefore not be universal. The Federal Government was to have nothing to do with the establishment or prohibition of any religion, but the state govts had no such limitation and in fact nearly every state in its infancy did establish one of the Christian Denominations as its official Church. The idea of "separation" began with a letter by Jefferson where he spoke against establishing a national church at the Federal level. Separation had nothing to do with prohibiting the teaching of "religion" in the schools. It is a shame so few today are aware of the true history of "religion" in our great country, and how it was intended to be part of the very fabric of our everyday lives, not banished from all public venues.

Organized religion has the foresight of the flat earth society, and it's crippling our economy by butting into government affairs, forcing politicians to waste time and tax dollars where they shouldn't be, and influencing the direction that one party or another goes. I wish that people would stop living in the past-- living in fear and delusion --and start viewing our landscape, and our world, with logic and science. I'm not saying religion has no place in schools. I just don't believe we have the right to teach kids about religion in public schools, unless it is unbiased and non-denominational. Respect for all people and all of God's creation--keep it simple. Respect the earth we share, and give others the freedom to think, feel, and live as their spirits guides them.

Maybe Shanonon should attend Liberty School because obviously she/he knows nothing about our country, the Constitution or world events. You Sha-nay-nay are what's wrong with this country. Too many damn Hippy dopeheads who believe the crap that you spew out of your Libtard piehole. Flat Earth?? Who actually believes that crap? You... my friend are a ra-tard. Go sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.

KC-
You are disrespectful and I don't think you understand my point. Your attitude and the ignorance you accuse me of is why I oppose liberty school's attempt to recreate the wheel. Certainly there are issues with public education, and it's great that Tea Party wants to indoctrinate kids on their own terms, but it's not fair to present this 'schooling' as anything less than it is.

Indoctrinate? The Left has been indoctrinating kids since the late 1960's, shoot... they've really been doing it since Woodrow Wilson. What they are teaching children is true American History, not the revisionist garbage they've been pushing since I was a kid in the 70's with all the Hippy teachers I had. You Libs sure love playing the victim, dontcha? Why don't you butch up for once?
shanononon July 8, 2012 at 03:50 pm
Aren't we all victims of the monster that corporations have become?? Organized religion is just as bad, and neither should have a role in government. Teaching history anyway that kids will understand and absorb it is what (I believe) teachers are trying to do. When KC was in high school most people were living in a fog of separationist values. There was no such thing as equal rights then and it's just as bad now, if not worse. If anyone wants to hide behind the veil of religious values and hope they'll be saved when the rapture comes, they should do it on their own time and let the rest of us live our lives the way we want. Whether fighting greed and corruption (on all sides) or ignoring the injustice and letting people just be....it doesn't make sense for us to be fighting among ourselves when there is a much greater force to contend with, and I'm not talking about GOD.

<<--Ah, spoken like a true expert of insight and all things knowledgeable - someone who really doesn't even have a real point about the article to make at all, (unless of course they are actually affiliated with the Liberty School - I hope not for their sake) but wants to degrade the other commentors via assumption on a personal level, and completely based on religious and partisan view. (+1 for doing things that your role models growing up would {not} approve of) My guess is this fine example of insight will now attack my "leftist" views, which would be missing the mark completely (but absolutely consistent with their other posts all over this site).
It's actually a good thing our politics go back and forth from right to left and back again - it's what keeps us from turning into a society the "other party" fears most. I too have seen other governments first hand (boots on the ground) that are the result of extremely one-sided politics. This country, however, is not. The battles chosen with your fellow citizens here, in this medium of all, is not where you do the most good. Personally, I think the Liberty School has every right to push their agenda to whomever wants to hear it (Tea Party or not), but Sh has a point - the agenda should be a little more clearly expressed - which very possibly may be once one goes to attend the event.

Spoken like a good little Atheist. You commies don't like God, then your little crumb catchers need not go. The Liberty Schools and TEA Party are not trying to push any ONE religion and they're not even pushing Christianity although I'd say the vast majority are Christians. That's probably because the vast majority of Americans are Christian. Get off your Marxist soap box Alinsky, nobody is trying to make your kid follow Jesus. When your kid turns into a Zombie, Jesus won't help him anyway.

No this is where you're wrong. I love god. I love the idea of having faith in something I can't see and has no impact on my life now, but promises an everlasting afterlife. For reals, your Faith, Hope and Charity classes are so 1647. Go back to your puritanical roots and just burn us witches while you have the chance. You are the reason I don't have kids. The wasteland your kind have created will be a hell on earth for all of mankind. Who needs clean air, equal rights, and economic freedom when you have GOD?!!

It's a shame that so many blind followers perpetuate the misguidance of a corrupted church and self-serving state. The conservative right is far from christianly, and the women in the Tea Party need to wake up and start thinking for themselves and for the future. Preach truth and tolerance, that's all I'm saying.
