Students have a right to learn about America's moral heritage.
Character is a moral and ethical quality needed to sustain the individual citizen and a democratic society. Schools should teach and model universal character qualities through an intentional, proactive, and comprehensive approach that transcends cultural, religious, political, and socioeconomic differences. Our students need to learn those habits of mind, heart, and spirit that help them know, desire, and do what is right. Historically, building character has been a primary mission of education.
