Adopting a simple education reform to restore civil discourse and transform American society
In this era of extreme political polarization, it's tempting to believe nothing can be done to heal a nation that is so obviously divided and led by dysfunctional politicians.
But there is a relatively simple and powerful way to begin the healing, and at the same time prepare the next generations of leaders for the rigorous demands of a constantly changing economy and society. The solution offered by this intriguing book is for schools across the country to focus on developing in students the skills of successful debaters. These are the skills--so clearly lacking in contemporary society--of listening and persuading, through civil discourse backed by fact-based evidence and reason.
