Help Khan Academy create lessons on US Government!

This Fourth of July, Khan Academy is asking for your help funding engaging lessons on the intricacies of US government and politics. Ever since our founding in 2008, Khan Academy has helped millions of learners master difficult concepts in math, science and economics, and now we want to bring that same approach to this critical subject. These lessons, like everything Khan Academy creates, will be free for everyone, but we need your help to fund their creation.

Khan Academy should offer video tutorials and practice questions on reading comprehension and writing.

You should teach the truth about the government. It's a monopoly who's primary mission is to steal other's money. Hopefully Khan Academy will lead us towards a free society some day, where there is no ruler.
Keep teaching economics, it's way more important to understand how governments actually work.

I'd really need FIRST to see if it's indeed "non-partisan", and IF it's going to also discuss the mistakes the governments DID and DO TODAY.

[Amanda]

Wow, my eyes have seen the man behind the khanacademy videos.

Thanks for doing this AFTER I finished my us history class in middle school

how can anybody teach lessons in U.S. Government, when NOBODY knows exactly how it works, where the money goes, or why we get involved in other countries affairs???

[covalencedust]

This reminds me of "Dr. Sheldon Cooper Presents FUN WITH FLAGS!".

[LannisterFromDaRock]

When I got the video I was like "Wwoow, first campaign for Khan Academy!" Then I realised it's about the US government.

At 0:46, you say more spirited "democracy;" but indeed, we have a *democratic republic*-- two different things. Math is full of facts and hard to dispute, but history has a perceptive component that makes it harder to present correctly. If Khan can stick to the facts of history this could be a great thing, if not...?

Would love to back your project however are there any alternative ways to make the payment other than with a credit card?

[gunnarstandard]

I love khan academy. Because it is a free market alternative to state mandated, tax funded indoctrination centers. I only ask one thing from the wise people behind Khan academy, IF you must start teaching about governments, than please include discussions on anarchism and voluntarism as well. One last thing...taxation = extortion. :)

A FREAKIN' PHD IN AMERICAN HISTORY?! Jesus, what color were George Washington's eyes?

[rollando]

300k is a lot of money what is that for? the kickstarter doesn't state what any of the money is for....

[JTempleton]

I have a feeling the curriculum will probably have a partisan slant.

Hi Khan,
Can I help make videos on British History and our Government? Thanks.
