Dear John,
Colleges and universities should train the nation’s ordinary citizens and future leaders to understand their rights and duties as citizens, and the nature of the republic in which they live. Unfortunately, their civics education has been co-opted by "activist civics," which instead trains students to protest for progressive causes. What is the nature of "activist civics"? Could the techniques of "activist civics" be used for a better cause? How and why have universities failed to produce civic-minded graduates? Can anything be done to reverse this destruction of traditional civics education?
Join us tomorrow, July 23 at 2 pm Eastern Time ([link removed][UNIQID]) as we convene a panel to discuss how activist civics has transformed civics courses from teaching about our systems of government, the responsibilities of citizenship, and developing an understanding of the common good, to progressive propaganda and vocational training in social justice activism.
