  • What strikes us about these passages is not their antiquity, but their wisdom. Today, many Americans have lost pride in their government. At a time when universities trumpet their place in the world—and within Facebook—but say little about their place in the Republic, these calls to educate citizens who will sustain the nation have new and vital meaning. It is time to reimagine higher education’s civic mission.
  • They are positioned not only to foster innovation, which is essential to national prosperity, but also to teach the public responsibilities associated with invention and entrepreneurship.
  • Its antiauthoritarian agenda and tactics notwithstanding, the student movement sought to reassert the educational importance of common values and social mission.

  • Instead of a prescription, we offer a framework for conversation about the intertwined roles of intellect, morality, and action.
  • civic education needs to be spread across the curriculum.
  • transgressions are likely to be treated legalistically, rather than as teachable moments.
  • Action. Civic learning is about the effect of human decisions on other people and on society at large.
  • Integrate civic education into core requirements and concentrations or majors.
