In this interview, author Richard Neumann discusses his article in the January 2008 issue of Phi Delta Kappan, "American Democracy at Risk." He paints a dire picture of the state of democracy in the U.S. today, but he believes it is possible to revitalize the skills of democratic citizenship with public schools as a central part of that effort.
