Toward a More Perfect Union The Moral and Cultural Case for Teaching the Great American Story

It has sadly become evident that over the past seventy years, Americans have become increasingly ignorant of our nation’s founding principles. Civic education and American history have either not been taught or have been deliberately mistaught throughout our nation’s public—and in numerous cases, even our private—education system. This lack of education or misinformation has placed our nation in great peril, and we are seeing the consequences unfold daily in our corporate boardrooms, halls of power, and streets. This book is the prescription for returning our nation to a healthy culture for all.
