In a few states, schools and programs focused on teaching civics have arisen, giving students an alternative to the steady drumbeat of America-bashing they get elsewhere in academia.
To learn more, I suggest reading “Sustaining Schools of Civic Thought and Leadership,” an American Enterprise Institute report by Paul Carrese of Arizona State University. “As the reform movement begins its second decade,” writes Carrese, “this report offers recommendations for not only founding new CTL units but also sustaining and strengthening existing ones, thereby solidifying this reform and field of study as a fixture of American academia.”
For families beginning a college search, this report serves as important background information.
