“Pillars” is a project of The Russell Kirk Center for Cultural Renewal, an internationally recognized organization dedicated to historical study of the roots of civilization and to teaching new generations about the American tradition of ordered liberty. The Kirk Center will draw upon its network of scholars to work with high school teachers to increase their own historical and civic knowledge, and better communicate to their students the essential beliefs, practices, and institutions that hold America together.<\/p>\n
