Virtual Classroom Visits on Protecting Democracy
In September 2019, author Kenneth C. Davis began offering free virtual classroom visits on the subject of democracy and dictatorships. The intent of the virtual visits is to speak with middle school and high school students and their teachers about what democracy is, what threatens democracy today, and how to protect it. Teachers can have their class considered for a free virtual visit by going to the “Don’t Know Much About It“ website and specifying their school location, the grade level, and their class size. (Multiple classes are welcomed.) Davis will continue these virtual visits throughout the school year, subject to his availability. As the coming presidential election year draws closer, the issue of civic engagement is more important than ever.
