The Future of Democracy
“We need young people to be civicallyengaged in order to define and addresspublic problems. Their participation isimportant for democracy, for institutionssuch as schools, and for young peoplethemselves, who are more likely to succeedin life if they are engaged in theircommunities. Youth are tolerant, patriotic,and idealistic, but most lack the skills andopportunities they need to participate inpolitics or address public problems. We mustboth prepare citizens for politics and improvepolitics for citizens.”– Peter Levine
