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. Bridgeland -- Civic literacy and No child left behind : a lesson in the limits of government power / Eugene Hickok -- A failure of leadership : the duty of politicians and universities to salvage citizenship / Senator Bob Graham, with Chris Hand -- Forgetting Martin Luther King's dream : how politics threatens American's Civil Rights memory / Secretary Rod Paige -- Revolutionary ignorance : what do Americans know about the original tea party? / Bruce Cole -- Core curriculum : how to tackle general illiteracy and civic illiteracy at the same time / Andrew J. Rotherham -- Fighting civic malpractice : how a Harlem charter school closes the achievement gap / Seth Andrew -- The KIPP approach : be the change you wish to see in the world / Mike Feinberg -- The wisdom of twenty thousand teachers : strengthen state requirements, stop marginalizing the founders / Jason Ross -- Teaching political sophistication : on self-interest and the common good / Charles N. Quigley and Charles F. 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. Thelin -- Don't believe the hype : young voters are still disengaged, and universities have few incentives to fix it / Mark Bauerlein -- Donor intent : strategic philanthropy in higher education / Admiral Mike Ratliff -- After the digital explosion : education and civil liberties in the Internet Age / Harry Lewis -- How school choice enhances civic health : vouchers and informed politics / Jay P. Lefkowitz -- Education versus indoctrination : what separates sound policy from state overreach? / Glenn Harlan Reynolds -- Letter to President Obama : a policy approach for the federal government / Peter Levine.

Signed and Inscribed by Mallory Factor with black Sharpie on the Dedication Page. "Bestselling author, professor, and pundit Mallory Factor illuminates the conservative tradition in American politics with essays from leading figures in the conservative movement. Ambitious in its breadth and depth, Big Tent provides a fresh and surprising treatment of the conservative movement as told by the leaders themselves. In this unique collection, which is based on his star-studded course at The Citadel, conservative leaders explain how the movement developed as a powerful force in American politics, how it functions now with a wide range of viewpoints, and where it is going in the future. The origin of conservative ideas - from their ancient roots to their English origins, from the American Revolution to William F. Buckley, Alexis de Tocqueville to Barry Goldwater, and libertarianism to neo-conservatism - are revealed and examined in this compelling volume. These illuminating essays include: Newt Gingrich on the political ideas surrounding the American Revolution; Yaron Brook of the Ayn Rand Institute on the emergence of libertarianism; Ed Meese on the Reagan Revolution; David Keene of the NRA on Buckley-style "fusionism"; Phyllis Schlafly on the rise of the religious right; Donald Rumsfeld on the Bush administration's "War on Terror"; Rand Paul on the future of the conservative movement. Insightful and stimulating, Big Tent is an outstanding survey of the conservative movement from its most significant living figures." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
