Essay Contest A Success!

I participated in America's Essay Foundation Program at Liberty Christian High School in Argyle today. Students were asked to write essays on the importance of the Surpreme Court, and -- as a former public school teacher who wishes more students would take an interest in their government -- I was extremely impressed. Civics is not always emphasized as much as it should be, and I would love to see more programs like this to help our youth understand the privileges and responsibilities of citizenship.
