April: Why Democracy?

Itasca Lyceum

A chance for our community to talk about the history and present status of democracy

Rapids Brewing Company

<p>Almost a hundred years ago, our predecessor, the Public Forum Movement, hosted an event with the title “Are We Done with Democracy?”. It was a historical moment in which many were reassessing the American democratic tradition. Communism, fascism, and other ideologies presented live alternatives to liberal democracy. It is always a question worth contemplating for Americans. Why democracy? What are the benefits and risks of our system? What kind of culture is necessary for democracy to work well?</p><p>S﻿peaker: Will Floersheim, ISD 316 Social Studies Teacher (World History, Economics, and Government)</p>
