About the Book

Democracy…Forever!

In Abraham Lincoln’s immortal Gettysburg address, he hoped that democracy “shall not perish from the face of the earth.”  The purpose of this humble book is to rekindle – if that’s even possible – Lincoln’s fervent hope for an everlasting democracy.

This book outlines a layman’s prescription for what ails American democracy and calls on America’s school boards to re-examine their school districts’ respective Mission Statements … and resolve the all-important question, ‘What’s the purpose of education?’

This book contends that the K-12 public school environment is the best place to foster good citizenship, to the end that the longest experiment in democracy that the world has ever known goes on forever!
