Carrot-Top is now Freedom and Glory — different name, same people, same commitment to you.
Picture this: you walk into a classroom, where you’re met with a teacher and her students in a lively debate. They’re arguing over whether the Boston Tea Party was a brave political revolt or a cowardly criminal act. You look around and see kids on the edge of their seats, barely able to contain themselves. The energy is electric, the students are passionate, and they’re learning to find their voice and make their own opinions.
That’s what the Bill of Rights Institute is all about. For Kirk Higgins, the VP of content, there’s nothing as important as opening young minds to the power of thought and using history as a guiding light for the future.
His commitment strikes a chord with us at Freedom and Glory. Just as Kirk helps students find their voice, we’re proud to help communities show theirs — through American flags and patriotic products that honor our shared journey. Together, we can bring history to life for this generation and the next.
Kirk Higgins has a background in early American history, and he's using it to get kids excited about how the country works. His job at the Bill of Rights Institute is to create resources for teachers that make learning about America's founding fun. There’s lesson plans, videos, essays, and more. It's all about knowing how to interact with others in the community.
As Kirk says, "The more that we can equip students to understand what it is to engage with their fellow citizens, what it's like to go out to their communities and make a difference...then we can equip them to make a difference and to continue on this great American experiment."
Learning to Lead with Respect
Getting kids excited about history isn't easy. It requires a curriculum that keeps their attention and is fun to learn. Kirk's lessons do just that. Students learn everything from how the government works to its founding—in a nonpartisan way. He encourages students to challenge their viewpoints and put themselves in someone else’s shoes through respectful debate. And the best part? Teachers can use these resources free of charge.
Opening Doors With Free Resources
But it’s not just about helping teachers make learning fun. There’s also programs for students like the MyImpact Challenge. And for kids getting ready to graduate and step out into the world? Professional development resources. The Bill of Rights Institute believes every student and teacher deserves free resources they’ll truly enjoy using — and so far, they’ve inspired thousands of students.
Where to Find Free Bill of Rights Resources
Anyone can download free resources from the Bill of Rights Institute's website -- symbols that bring us together by helping every classroom share in America’s story. There's also an active YouTube channel with tons of videos that are great for kids of all ages.
Kirk talks about why offering free resources is so important. "We don't have any cost to the materials that we have for teachers; all of them are available [digitally] free, online. They're all published as open educational resources, meaning teachers can take 'em, adopt 'em, and use them in whatever way they think is best for their classrooms.”
When it comes to supporting education, Freedom and Glory is excited to be involved. Check out our historical and classroom flags, and our own line of free educational resources. We're passionate about celebrating people like Kirk who make the country great and showcase the American spirit. Together we raise it — carrying forward the values that unite us and inspire the next generation.
