The Crisis in Civic Education - What's Wrong and What Can We Do About It?

The American Idea by Ashbrook Center

Episode notes

What happened to quality, non-partisan civics education in America? Why do so many young people either lack essential knowledge about our system of government? Why does socialism seem attractive to so many Americans today? Can we turn the tide and help our fellow citizens adopt an informed, honest, and rational patriotism? Jeff is joined by David Davenport to discuss this crisis and the many downstream effects of it - and what we can do about it.
