Humanity, by Nature, lifelong Learning
Civic Knowledge as to Self-governance
Compulsory education in state schools
Textbooks for a Constitutional Republic
Declaring Independence & Rule of Law
To establish Ideas in the American Mind
Propagated by the news establishment
Performances, pop culture entertainment
National Dialogue, Children, Family, State
Social efficiency, Citizens of Moral Virtue
Factory models, industrial era, digital age
The state requires, progressive democracy
Federal mandates, power to levy taxation
Tokens, collective equity, our Individuality
Yet engagement teams, partners, missions
Right to learn, question, what from whom
