Today, President’s Day, was supposed to be the White House Forum on American

History, Civics, and Service. We were excited, because we had just launched

our report on The Civic

Mission of Schools; John Bridgeland had formally praised it on

behalf of the administration; and it was to be distributed at the Forum.

But with Washington buried under perhaps the biggest snowfall in its recorded

history, the Forum was cancelled. I am, however, delighted to link to

a Sunday article

by David Broder that not only endorses The Civic Mission of Schools;

it also deftly and accurately summarizes it. And today’s Washington

Post has a masthead

editorial endorsing the report. (Unfortunately, the Post was

hardly delivered to anyone today, since side streets were impassable.)
