But we are failing. Young Americans know little about the Bill of Rights, the democratic process, or the civil rights movement. Three of every four high school seniors arent proficient in civics, nine of ten cant cut it in U.S. history, and the problem is only aggravated by universities' disregard for civic education. Such civic illiteracy weakens our common culture, disenfranchises would-be voters, and helps poison our politics. This book taps the best American thinkers to answer the essential American question: How do we sustain our experiment in government of, by, and for the people?
