Madison Youth Academy: as part of its mission to raise-up a generation of youth who
are well grounded in America's founding freedoms, the Madison Youth Project will
launch the Madison Youth Academy in January 2009. One online course is included
in the membership fee for each student member of the Madison Youth Project.
“The Elements of Freedom,” will give students a solid understanding of the
critical role these freedoms play in strengthening society and sustaining our
democracy. The American Founding Fathers established a firm foundation of
liberty that continues to impact ideas and events around the world even today.
How did the Founding Fathers develop their notion of liberty? This course will
examine the Biblical and historical influences--from ancient Jerusalem and
Athens to Magna Carta and the Mayflower Compact--that shaped the thinking of
this profound generation. Dr. Robert D. Stacey will teach this course. Dr.
Stacey is Associate Professor in Regent University’s Robertson School of
Government. Dr. Stacey previously served as Associate Professor and Chairman of
the Department of Government at Patrick Henry College where he taught the
college’s flagship course, Freedom’s Foundations. Dr. Stacey received his B.A.
in Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania in 1991 and his M.A. and
Ph.D. in Government at the University of Virginia, completing in 1998. He and
his wife, Sherry, have three children and currently reside in Winchester,
Virginia.
