Unraveling of We the People

In his Inaugural Address, President Washington peered into the future of a fledgling United States of America and identified the one thing that would hold our people together - or tear the nation apart. He said that the foundation of "our National policy will be laid in the pure and immutable principles of private morality." In this thought-provoking book, the author argues that the decline in civics education has left many Americans disconnected from the principles and responsibilities that define their citizenship. We read on our money "IN GOD WE TRUST" yet ask "So why don't we?" Instinctively, we know something has changed, and ask: What happened? That's the question "The Unraveling of We the People" seeks to answer, and address. According to Dr. David Randall, National Association of Scholars: "The American Republic faces terrible challenges--and David Lantz tells us how we got here, and what we can do to start fixing matters. Anyone interested in America's civic spirit and civic education should read this."
