Abstract

Self-governance, the cornerstone of our political system, requires commitment, understanding and skill. Poor voter turnout, corruption in office and lack of public confidence form a self-fueling cycle that erupts periodically in indictments and removal from public office. While the system itself needs improvement, our schools, especially the intermediate schools, can do much more than they have done to help young people build the commitment, understanding and skills that can make it work better. They can, in short, provide a forceful, practical program in political education.
