Feith, David. Teaching America: the case for civic education. Lanham, Md.: Rowman & Littlefield, 2011, xxii, 235pp., PAPERBACK, very good. Teaching America responds to a crisis in citizenship. To remain America, our country has to give its kids a civic identity, an understanding of our constitutional system, and some appreciation of the amazing achievements of American self-government. But we are failing to do so--a failure that weakens our common culture, disenfranchises would-be voters, and helps poison political discourse. That's why this book gathers more than twenty leading thinkers to diagnose our civic illiteracy problem, explain its terribly high stakes--and lay out a powerful agenda for reform. - CONTENTS: Civic education, devalued / Frederick M. Hess -- Keeping the Republic / David Feith -- The democratic purpose of education : from the founders to Horace Man to today / Justice Sandra Day O'Connor -- My immigrant tale : assimilation and the road to success / Juan Williams -- The right to know your rights : civic literacy, the Miranda warnings, and me / Alan M. Dershowitz -- Safeguarding American exceptionalism : an uninformed citizenry risks ceding excessive power to government / Senator Jon Kyl -- Civic nation : my White House mission after September 11 / John M.

Bahmueller -- Good history and good citizens : Howard Zinn, Woodrow Wilson, and the historian's purpose / Michael Kazin -- Talk is cheap : the university and the national project : a history / John R.
