The importance of taking action

  • Educating for American Democracy - The EAD initiative is a call to action to invest in strengthening history and civic learning to counteract the widespread loss of confidence in our very form of government and civic order. We need high school curriculums on civics because we now have a widespread loss of confidence in our very form of government and a citizenry who are poorly prepared to understand, appreciate and use it or even uphold civic order. The roadmap calls for curricula but also for all hands on deck support within not just schools but communities.
