The details

The argument for public education, made in 1765. John Adams, writing a decade before independence: "Liberty cannot be preserved without general knowledge among the people." Not a slogan about freedom - a claim that an educated public IS the mechanism, and that letting the learning go is how the liberty goes too. Set as a letterpress broadside in clean condensed caps with the closing line in brick red, framed by stars, rules and a laurel, matching the rest of the presidential-quote series. Why you'll reach for this tee: Heavyweight, garment-dyed comfort - 6.1 oz/yd2 of 100% ring-spun cotton Broken-in softness and a lived-in look from the very first wear Relaxed unisex fit, true to size Double-needle collar and twill-taped shoulders, built to last Large BACK print - the full quote reads clearly from across a room Part of a presidential-quote series in the same navy-and-cream broadside style Perfect for: Teachers, professors and school librarians Public-library supporters and Friends-of-the-Library groups Founding-Father and early-republic history buffs Graduations, retirements and end-of-year staff gifts Civics and government classrooms Pairing with the rest of the presidential-quote series An educated public was always the point.
