Education doesn’t happen just in a classroom. Every year, millions of Americans visit historic sites to learn about the nation’s past. They may be alarmed to discover that at some places, the critical race theory narrative animates the American story. The legacies of the Founders are being distorted or erased. This is particularly disheartening because preserving historic sites and presidential homes carries with it the special obligation to represent their legacies fairly and in a spirit of gratitude. Jefferson asked Madison to “take care of me when dead.” For Jefferson, Madison, Washington, and others, this trust now falls to the American people: Jefferson’s wish is now the responsibility of all Americans. The Founders always intended that it be so.
