Overview & Synopsis

Explains why America has common schools and why they should be preserved. If our nation is to repossess its civic soul, it must recapture the central civic responsibilities of public schools. If American schools are to be defined by the search for literacy, then civic literacy must coexist alongside science, math, English, and cultural literacy. Public schools actually establish us as a public. (MLH)
