Ashbrook Center

@carringtonam Isn't he great?

Honored to see Lucas Morel speak today at the @AshbrookCenter about Lincoln on the anniversary of the Gettysburg Address.

@__Cybernetic__ @IMAO_ Peter understood America and Americans better than most born here do.

@IMAO_ Years ago, Peter Schramm of the @AshbrookCenter (who immigrated from Hungary) wrote an essay, “Born American, But In the Wrong Place”. He captured that idea pretty well. ashbrook.org/viewpoint/born…

First question: Maybe. Second question: Possibly more so. A lot of native born people are terrible Americans who don’t share the core American beliefs about liberty and awesomeness. I’m sure some Somalis are more American than them. I think a functional immigration system is making sure everyone we let in is already an American. And an added bonus would be helping non-Americans born here to leave to a country that better fits them… probably in Europe.

@ColumbiaMayor @Ashland_Univ She's great, isn't she? We're fortunate to have her as part of our faculty - as a scholar and person.

HUZZAH! to Dr. Cara Rogers Stevens of @Ashland_Univ and the @AshbrookCenter for her book, Thomas Jefferson and the Fight against Slavery, being nominated as a finalist for the 2025 George Washington Prize. (My daughter is one of her students.) Congrats to all 5 nominees: 1/3

@joekgriffith So much to discuss here, and so much background knowledge one can bring to the table. This sounds like a job for primary source documents!

What a time to be teaching a class on the separation of powers next week for @AshbrookCenter's MAHG program! ACB in Trump's birthright citizenship case:

Check out @AshbrookCenter and @UTCivics and so many others. There’s a revival happening
