“Literacy is the key word here, because the teaching of history should have reading and writing at its core… This means teaching students to be informed readers, writers, and thinkers about the past as well as the present—a goal all parties should be able to embrace. Our democracy’s vitality depends on it.” - Sam Wineburg
“Reading proficiency isn’t in and of itself the magic key to competence. It’s what reading enables us to learn and to do that is critical…”
-E. D. Hirsch, Jr.
“Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely.
The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.”
- Eleanor Roosevelt
