civic and moral virtues in their students, three experts said at
the Education Writers Association’s 2021 National Seminar.
“For millennia, people thought moral character development was

U.S. in the last 20 years,” said Andy Smarick, a senior fellow at
the Manhattan Institute.
The Education Writers Association is delighted to announce an
exciting and important lineup of speakers for our virtual

COVID-19, viral examples of racism, financial distress and

economic recovery, and changes to federal policies, the education
and journalism worlds still both face extraordinary difficulties
in 2021.
