The Pioneer Institute's Jamie Gass joins the podcast to discuss the past, present, and potential future of rigorous history and civics instruction as detailed in his new book, Restoring the City on a Hill: U.S. History & Civics in America's Schools. Jamie also describes research that reveals that private school students show higher levels of civic knowledge and engagement.
