We discuss the role of schools to form effective citizens in our democracy. It's necessary to prioritize the teaching of our history and our government. 

 

James's civic action toolkit recommendations are: 

1. Push back against corrosive technology, especially in schools

2. Read books!

 

James Traub is a journalist, historian, and author of The Cradle of Citizenship: How Schools Can Help Save Our Democracy.
