What Place Does Patriotism Have in Schools?

  • August 17, 2026
  • Richard D. Kahlenberg

As debates over patriotism, civic education, and the teaching of American history continue across the country, eight Americans with diverse backgrounds and viewpoints come together for a respectful, thought-provoking conversation.

Hosted by Courageous Conversations about our Schools in partnership with Braver Angels, the panel explores two fundamental questions:

• What does patriotism mean to you personally? How, if at all, does it differ from nationalism?

• What role, if any, should public schools play in shaping students’ sense of patriotism? How can schools encourage love of country while also fostering critical thinking and honest inquiry?
