Reading and math play crucial roles in preparing future citizens. As part of comprehensive education, these subjects are more than academic disciplines. They are integral to developing informed and engaged citizens.

The Kansas Reflector is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing in-depth reporting, diverse opinions, and daily coverage of state government and politics. As I prepare to attend the Kansas Book Festival in Topeka, I plan to continue highlighting the virtues of Kansas. At the festival, I will discuss “How to Raise a Citizen (and Why It’s Up to You to Do It)” alongside esteemed individuals, such as state Supreme Court Chief Justice Eric Rosen and Mr. Beat, a Kansas educator and YouTuber known for teaching millions about history online.
Kansas offers an encouraging example. The state focuses on empowering its youth with education that fosters critical thinking and civic responsibility. This approach reinforces the importance of combining academic learning with citizenship education.
Chief Justice Rosen and Mr. Beat will contribute valuable insights. These discussions are key as educators and community leaders strive to inspire the next generation. The aim is to cultivate citizens who are knowledgeable and proactive in their communities.
