The fall issue of American Experiment Quarterly (AEQ) contains a pair of pieces worth a look. The first is "The Making of Patriots," in which Leslie Lenkowsky, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service, explains what it will take to reverse civic decline and inculcate in today's young people an understanding and appreciation for our system of government. The second is a collection of short essays on school choice culled from a symposium convened by Minnesota-based Center of the American Experiment ("The Supremes Belt Out a New Hit: School Choice in Minnesota after Cleveland: A Symposium"). You'll find both pieces online at http://www.amexp.org (click on "AEQ").
