The latest cheer goes to the University of Texas, which is making a major commitment to teaching the ideas of Western civilization and the American constitutional order. On Thursday the UT Board of Regents announced a $100 million investment in the School of Civic Leadership, the biggest sum so far by a public university in a program focused on civics education and constitutional principles. The money will help renovate a building on campus to become a permanent location for the civics school and the Civitas Institute, an in-house think tank. The school will enroll 100 freshmen in a Civic Honors major this fall.
