Everything I ever learned about US history I learned from Schoolhouse Rock. I also learned (and retained) important grammar and multiplication information, but the America Rock segments had the most impact because Schoolhouse Rock took what I found to be a very boring subject and made it something fun. I looked forward to seeing Schoolhouse Rock on Saturday mornings as much as my favorite cartoons. I’m Just a Bill and No More Kings are great episodes from the America Rock series that I’m sure everyone remembers, but two other Schoolhouse Rock episodes deserve the spotlight today.
In light of this election and the ensuing discussions about women’s rights, Sufferin’ Til Suffrage is a great history lesson:
This election was so historic and important on so many levels; to many people it really proved that the words of the US Constitution are true for all people. The fact that I can recite every single word of the Preamble of the US Constitution is directly credited to Schoolhouse Rock.
Thanks Schoolhouse Rock for giving me a foundation in US history.
And thanks America for making me so proud to be an American today.
