What Lincoln Would Tell Us About How to Preserve Our Republi

Many lament the decline in the teaching of civics and history that we are seeing in our schools. According to a recent survey of core curriculums of 1,100 colleges and universities by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, only 18% of institutions are requiring students to take a course in U.S. history or government.  In another survey, the National Assessment of Educational Progress found that only 24% of eighth-grade students perform at or above proficient level in civics.
