The School of Statesmanship, Stewardship, and Service is inviting the Longmont community to learn more about the role of democracy at five new classes this summer.
I became fascinated with our democratic system of government during a high school class named U.S. Government. That personal fascination led me to study political science and public administration, and eventually to a career in federal civil service. But, along the way I learned there were some structural problems with our government that didn’t match what had been written as its foundation in the Constitution and Declaration of Independence.
