March Journeyman Class

This course is an attempt to strike at the root.
--- The ten Boom Institute

Principles of Liberty - Threats to Liberty

Study/Learn

1 - Watch Lecture 5 (from the CD) and take notes.

2 - Read "The Proper Role of Government" by Ezra Taft Benson

3 - Watch this video by Ezra Taft Benson about America



4 - Watch this video of Ezra Taft Benson speaking about Socialism



Know/Understand

Write down your favorite quotes or thoughts from the videos and reading.

And choose one or more of the following, being ready to share it in class:

• In your own words, summarize each of the principles from The Proper Role of Government.

• In your own words, summarize each point Ezra Taft Benson makes in the other two videos.

• Create a skit, poem, story, or comic strip that shows examples of some of these principles of righteous government being followed or not being followed.

• Do some research on Ezra Taft Benson. Why do you think he felt so strongly about promoting freedom and rejecting socialism and communism?  What was his position in the government? What was his position in the LDS Church afterward? What role did he play in Germany after World War II?  Be ready to give the class a presentation on all you learned about him and why he was so passionate about the proper role of government.
