| We begin by noting a new weekly series running at RealClearEducation that focuses on institutions and individuals making a difference in civic education. In the first piece, Mike Sabo, the editor of RealClear’s American Civics portal, writes about the Center for Education Reform and its Founder and CEO, Jeanne Allen. According to Allen, answering the following key questions should drive civic education: “Who will teach our children, and what will we teach them?” Jack Warren of the American Revolution Institute takes a look at the 1619 Project curriculum created by Pulitzer Center. Summing up his thoughts on the curriculum, Warren writes that it is “not an educational enterprise. It is tool of political indoctrination.” At the National Association of Scholars, David Randall examines both the 1619 Project curriculum and Senator Tom Cotton’s bill in opposition to the curriculum, the Saving American History Act of 2020. Randall argues, “We must get rid of the 1619 Project Curriculum to save our children from the anti-American lies of the woke establishment.” Clare Basil focuses on a question that she argues is often overlooked by enthusiasts of civic education on both the Left and Right: what is a human being? She writes that a “robust American civic education” means that “one be well-versed in what is pre-American so as to appreciate what we embody of the old world and what we reject from it when we claim that all men are created equal.” At “1776,” a project from the Woodson Center that combats the teachings of the 1619 Project, John Sibley Butler explores the “black bourgeoisie”—the thriving communities of former slaves in the North and South in the years following the Civil War. Butler argues that in the midst of segregation and racism, free blacks “created business enclaves that stood at the center of their mission of economic opportunity and education”—“a tradition worth copying for the 21st century.” Original Posts Mike Sabo, RealClearEducation Based in Washington, D.C., CER was founded by Allen in 1993 to “expand educational opportunities” that can yield “improved economic outcomes for all Americans, particularly our youth...
