In Teaching America, more than 20 leading thinkers sound the alarm
over a crisis in citizenship--and lay out a powerful agenda for
reform. The book's unprecedented roster of authors includes Justice
Sandra Day O'Connor, Senator Jon Kyl, Senator Bob Graham, Secretary
Rod Paige, Alan Dershowitz, Juan Williams, Glenn Reynolds, Michael
Kazin, Frederick Hess, Andrew Rotherham, Mike Feinberg, Seth
Andrew, Mark Bauerlein and more. Their message: To remain America,
our country has to give its kids a civic identity, an understanding
of our constitutional system, and some appreciation of the amazing
achievements of American self-government. 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 aren't proficient in civics, nine of ten can't 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.
