To celebrate National Civics Day on October 27, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library will join forces with the Partnership for American Democracy, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the Karsh Institute for Democracy at the University of Virginia, and Our Common Purpose at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for "Our Civics: Safeguarding Our Democracy." The program will feature discussions with policymakers, practitioners, and our partners in civic education on the vital role of universal civic learning in our democracy.
Civic knowledge can't be handed down the gene pool. It has to be learned.
