Episode Description

What does it mean to be American? Most Americans can no longer answer that question.

In this episode, Professor Nick Giordano examines the growing civic knowledge crisis and why the inability to define American identity is the greatest internal threat to the Republic. Across the country, civic understanding is collapsing. Students are graduating without understanding the structure of government, the principles of the Constitution, or the philosophy of the American founding.

The Data of Decline: A look at the alarming national statistics showing the collapse of civic knowledge.

The Roadmap to Renewal: Practical solutions to rebuild civic literacy and restore American civic culture.
