The Link Between Education and Citizenship

Lindsey Cormack, writing for the Kansas Reflector, highlights the crucial connection between education and citizenship. The Kansas Reflector is known for its comprehensive reporting on state government and politics.

Cormack shares her experiences of speaking at events across the nation, where she often praises her home state of Kansas. She is preparing to participate in the Kansas Book Festival in Topeka. At this event, she plans to discuss her book, “How to Raise a Citizen (and Why It’s Up to You to Do It),” with notable figures like Chief Justice Eric Rosen of the state’s Supreme Court and renowned educator and YouTuber Mr. Beat. Mr. Beat has educated millions on history through his online platform.

Through these discussions, Cormack aims to emphasize that subjects like reading and math are integral to preparing individuals for active citizenship. She focuses on the importance of these educational foundations in building informed, engaged citizens.
