More From Benjamin Rush

The only means of establishing and perpetuating our republican forms of government is the universal education of our youth in the principles of christianity by means of the bible.
Education Mean Patriotic
I have always considered christianity as the strong ground of republicanism. the spirit is opposed, not only to the splendor, but even to the very forms of monarchy, and many of its precepts have for their objects republican liberty and equality as well as simplicity, integrity, and economy in government. it is only necessary for republicanism to ally itself to the christian religion to overturn all the corrupted political and religious institutions of the world.

Hate Dirty Mean
The diversity of mankind is a basic postulate of our knowledge of human beings. but if mankind is diverse and individuated, then how can anyone propose equality as an ideal? every year, scholars hold conferences on equality and call for greater equality, and no one challenges the basic tenet. but what justification can equality find in the nature of man? if each individual is unique, how else can he be made 'equal' to others than by destroying most of what is human in him and reducing human society to the mindless uniformity of the ant heap?
