I'd certainly be thrilled if any schools (high school or college) actually taught Hobbes and Locke. Ask a high school or college student who Hobbes is and if you're lucky, you'll hear, "that cute stuffed tiger in the cartoon."

“I’d certainly be thrilled if any schools (high school or college) actually taught Hobbes and Locke.”

Well, I do. I teach my students about Locke’s natural laws of government, and about how Locke’s ideas are incorporated into the Declaration of Independence. As a history teacher I would condemn myself as derelict if I did not. That being said, a lot of students probably just remember it long enough to get by the next quiz or test.....
