Comment: Washington’s insight underscores that a democracy’s strength lies in its citizens’ understanding of governance. Educating future leaders isn’t just beneficial—it’s essential for preserving liberty.A primary object should be the education of our youth in the science of government.
In a republic, what species of knowledge can be equally important?
And what duty more pressing than communicating it to those who are to be the future guardians of the liberties of the country?
