The Value of Understanding History with Emily Hladik

Becoming MomStrong, Homeschooling, MomStrong Parenting

I think most of us would admit that we don’t have a great handle on United States History outside of a few major events. We have all learned that in general, we don’t understand the constitution, federal or local government either. The problem is that when we don’t understand history, we are ill prepared to be civically involved. I have a new friend, Emily Hladik, author and teacher of GreatAmericanStudies.com (and an Enid Freedom Fighter) here with me today and she’s going to help us understand a few of the most important topics.


Join us at MomStrong International! We have two memberships:  Scripture Writing Membership and Bible Study Membership.

My husband and I live in Northwest Oklahoma, but also feel at home in South Carolina. We have three children, our son is a recent graduate of Ole Miss and our two daughters are homeschooled. I love teaching in the classroom. My first teaching position was in 2004 as an adjunct instructor at our local junior college and my most recent teaching was with our Classical Conversations community as the Challenge I Director
