The hearing today will address the intersection of two concerns which are extremely important to the future of our country: the education of our children and the principles that unite us as Americans.
It is time to put the teaching of American history and civics back in its rightful place in our schools.
the legislation I propose today will help our schools do what they were established to do in the first place.
In my, as we call it in the Senate, so-called maiden address, I spoke on this subject, and I said I thought we had spent over the last 30 or 40 years too much time, relatively, on diversity, multiculturalism, and bilingualism and too little time on a common culture, on a common language, and on unity.
