In brief, students meet in small seminar-type groups and deal with public issues in a informed civil interaction based on the principles contained in the US Constitution. They deal with issues based on their knowledge and beliefs after their research on the different sides of an issue. Activities will involve real action in the political system in their community. Students will become media and politically savvy while applying the fair play principles of democracy.
"We, the people, are the boss, and we will get the kind of political leadership, be it good or bad, that we demand and deserve." - John F. Kennedy
