"Liberty is the lifeblood of America, but it flourishes only when citizens understand the ideas that sustain it," says Ryan Owens, the director of the Institute for Governance and Civics at Florida State University.
The problem according to Owens is that the serious study of civics has been neglected in recent years. He relates the story of a business leader who recently told him that his biggest personnel problem is younger workers fighting over partisan politics. This is borne out by a recent survey IGC conducted, which is part of its distinctive foundation in social science. It discovered some alarming results.
