President Reagan marked the beginning of American Education Week and spoke to school students in the East Room of the White House. He talked about the foundations of American government, the values of democracy, and the regard for the United States held by other countries. He also answered questions from the students. The event was telecast in several classrooms throughout the country.
The interesting aspect of the broadcast is that the kids are articulate and ask questions about the deficit, Reagan asks them what they are proudest about America, and he appears genuinely interested in their future. He thought we had morning in America.
