{"product_id":"flunking-democracy","title":"Flunking Democracy: Schools, Courts, and Civic Participation","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2016 presidential election campaign and its aftermath have underscored worrisome trends in the present state of our democracy: the extreme polarization of the electorate, the dismissal of people with opposing views, and the widespread acceptance and circulation of one-sided and factually erroneous information. Only a small proportion of those who are eligible actually vote, and a declining number of citizens actively participate in local community activities.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn \u003cem\u003eFlunking Democracy\u003c\/em\u003e, Michael A. Rebell makes the case that this is not a recent problem, but rather that for generations now, America's schools have systematically failed to prepare students to be capable citizens. Rebell analyzes the causes of this failure, provides a detailed analysis of what we know about how to prepare students for productive citizenship, and considers examples of best practices. Rebell further argues that this civic decline is also a legal failure—a gross violation of both federal and state constitutions that can only be addressed by the courts. \u003cem\u003eFlunking Democracy\u003c\/em\u003e concludes with specific recommendations for how the courts can and should address this deficiency, and is essential reading for anyone interested in education, the law, and democratic society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Livre numérique Kobo","offer_id":46179228057777,"sku":"1c1732f9-e4e5-3b32-a758-3c273817f67a","price":27.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/image_1eeedec3-528a-41db-b848-8cea91324ca9.jpg?v=1762358790","url":"https:\/\/iandigo.com\/fr\/products\/flunking-democracy","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
