For Democracy's Future: Education Reclaims Our Civic Mission (Part 1)

Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, other senior Obama Administration officials and civic education, government, business and philanthropy leaders gather to discuss the importance of civic learning and engagement in democracy for the 21st century. The event marks the release of "A Crucible Moment: College Learning and Democracy's Future," a new report to the Department of Education from leading civic scholars and practitioners, as well as the Department's own report, "Advancing Civic Learning and Engagement in Democracy: A Road Map and Call to Action." The event will also highlight the new American Commonwealth Partnership, which aims to bring together thousands of universities, colleges, community colleges, schools and other civic partners to promote civic education, civic mission and civic identity throughout all of education in the United States.

@Masterhand11 - Really?? I "EMBRESS" myself??? I can honestly say that I've never done that before!!

As far as tirvial views. Who elected you the "view" police? What one person sees as trivial is extremely important to another.

Funny, the more the lefties get involved the less school and programs my kids get. Nothing but program cuts and more days off just like this administration. I guess he needs the cash to fly himself and Oprah and the family to Hawaii for vacation.

@aeternusero about 90% of the replies here belie the need for more civic studies as most of the people make comments with pretty obviously no factual base. Most of them simply spewing Beckism's or whatever the latest "news" is from Fox.

@hardstyle905 - Ahh the typical condescending name calling shows your true character. I would bet a million dollars that you will never personally know anybody detained by NDAA..
