The 74 is proud to partner with the Progressive Policy Institute for a special conversation about how best to teach the American experience. As America celebrates its 250th birthday, educators at the K-12 and higher education levels are grappling with the best way to educate young people about the United States. What is the proper balance between explaining the grand ideals of liberty and equality found in the Declaration of Independence — and acknowledging the many ways America has fallen short?
The 74’s Greg Toppo will steer the event that will include Richard D. Kahlenberg, director of PPI’s American Identity Project; Rice University professor Caroline Levander; and PPI fellow Lief Lin.
Sign up for the Zoom right here or tune in to this page Wednesday at 1 p.m. ET to stream the event.
