Surveys show that civic participation has declined, cynicism about government has increased, and young people have a weak grasp of the principles that underlie our constitutional system. Crucial questions must be answered: How serious is the situation? What role do schools play in shaping civic behavior? Are current education reform initiatives-such as multiculturalism and school choice-counterproductive? How can schools contribute toward reversing the trend?This volume brings together leading thinkers from a variety of disciplines to probe the relation between a healthy democracy and education. Their original and provocative discussions cut across a range of important topics: the cultivation of democratic values, the formation of social capital in schools and communities, political conflict in a pluralist society, the place of religion in public life, the enduring problems of racial inequality. Gathering together the most current research and thinking on education and civil society, this is a book that deserves the attention of everyone who cares about the quality and future of American democracy. 606 $aCitizenship$xStudy and teaching$zUnited States 606 $aCivics$xStudy and teaching$zUnited States 606 $aEducation$xAims and objectives$zUnited States 615 0$aCitizenship$xStudy and teaching 615 0$aCivics$xStudy and teaching 615 0$aEducation$xAims and objectives 676 $a370.11/5 701 $aRavitch$b Diane$0771254 701 $aViteritti$b Joseph P.$f1946-$01667680 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820320903321 996 $aMaking good citizens$94059175 997 $aUNINA
