Actor Kelsey Grammer is warning that Americans who don\u2019t know their country\u2019s founding history are vulnerable to manipulation, and he\u2019s placing the blame squarely on the education system.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you don\u2019t know where you come from, you don\u2019t know who you are. If you don\u2019t know who you are, you can be controlled,\u201d Mr. Grammer said during a Tuesday appearance on the \u201cPlanet Tyrus\u201d podcast, as first reported by Fox News.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The \u201cFrasier\u201d star said schools have failed to properly teach the nation\u2019s founding story and called for the curriculum to be rebuilt from the ground up.<\/p>\n

Mr. Grammer, who recently played Lord Fairfax in the 2026 film \u201cYoung Washington,\u201d also pushed back on critics who reduce the Founding Fathers to their age and race. He noted that Thomas Jefferson was only 33 when he drafted the Declaration of Independence, arguing the document\u2019s importance had nothing to do with how its authors looked and everything to do with the ideas behind it.<\/p>\n

Mr. Grammer, who hosted the Fox Nation series \u201cThe Patriot War\u201d narrating events of the American Revolution, described modern Americans as inheritors of a debt owed to the Founders. He said most of the 56 signers of the Declaration ultimately ended in financial ruin, claiming some had children killed or wives assaulted as a consequence of their support for independence.<\/p>\n
