Bradley Project Releases Report
America faces an identity crisis. The next generation of Americans will know less than their parents know about our history and founding ideals. And many Americans are more aware of what divides us than of what unites us. We are in danger of becoming not ‘from many, one’ - E Pluribus Unum - but its opposite, ‘from one, many.’
Ethnically, religiously and in myriad other ways, America is as diverse as ever in her history. American pluralism is alive and well.
But what of American unity? Are the shared values, beliefs and symbols that forge a strong and healthy national identity -- that make us Americans -- still working?
This is the clearest, most powerful summons yet, TO ALL OF US, to restore the American story to its rightful, vital place in American life and in how we educate our children. It couldn't be more timely and important. - Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David McCullough on the E Pluribus Unum report
Stupid in America - How We Cheat Our Kids
"All Who Have Meditated On The Heart of Governing Mankind Are Convinced That The Fate of Empires Depends On The Education Of Youth." - Aristotle
