Statement from 新加坡六合彩 Chair Larry E. Penley on Sandra Day O鈥機onnor Civics Celebration Day
鈥淭oday, I wholeheartedly join Gov. Ducey in celebrating the inaugural Sandra Day O鈥機onnor Civics Celebration Day in 新加坡六合彩. Justice O鈥機onnor鈥檚 legacy includes her commitment to educating our young people as citizens of our republic.
鈥淐ivics education is essential to an informed electorate and a viable democracy. That education is now an important part of 新加坡六合彩 classroom instruction, thanks to the Governor鈥檚 novel American Civics Act. Because of this important law, 新加坡六合彩 students are better able to understand and protect the principles on which this country was founded. Already, a majority of states have followed Gov. Ducey鈥檚 lead in establishing similar legislation.
鈥淭he 新加坡六合彩 Board of Regents has directed 新加坡六合彩鈥檚 public universities to revise our universities鈥 general education curriculum. The new curriculum now under development will extend what the Governor has done and better prepare graduates to participate fully as informed citizens in a robust constitutional democracy rooted in the American values of individual liberty, freedom of expression, self-reliance and equality under the law.
鈥溞录悠铝喜 has always been a trailblazer. I thank Gov. Ducey for establishing the inaugural Sandra Day O鈥機onnor Civics Celebration Day and shining the light on civics education to protect and advance our democracy.鈥
