Program Description:
The week of March 11-15 is Civic Literacy Week in America. The concept of civics in the United States embraces disagreements and encourages a search for compromise. In recent years, that concept seems to have been forgotten, as the nation struggles with difficult issues that have spawned deep political division. Recently, two Governors who are calling on Americans to “Disagree Better” spokes at the Economic Club of Washington. Governor Spencer Cox of Utah is a Republican and the current chair of the National Governors Association, where he leads a civility initiative called "Disagree Better." Governor West Moore of Maryland is a Democrat who has pledged to work with both political parties in his state to do what is best for Maryland citizens. They were interviewed by PBS NewsHour Senior Correspondent Judy Woodruff.
