April is Child Abuse Prevention Month--an occasion to highlight what families & communities can do to raise awareness & protect #children's health & safety. Partnerships are key, in #CT as elsewhere, as discussed in the Connecticut Mirror. #CASA #ChangeAChildsStory ctmirror.org/2022/04/01/mus…





In @ft, Simon Schama cites Richard D. Brown: "As Richard D Brown’s important history The Strength of a People: The Idea of an Informed Citizenry in America...points out...presidents...assumed that the security of the republic depended on the 'equation of virtue and knowledge'"
