In the small town of Herriman, Utah, children as young as six learn the Declaration of Independence by putting it to song. Over a few hot summer days, they will learn all about “Americanism,” a blend of patriotism and history that casually mixes in some of the basic tenets of libertarianism. At one point, they’ll pretend to overturn a boat full of tea into Boston Harbor. Over 900 students attend “Utah Patriot Camp” annually. Herriman, Utah. © Sarah Blesener
