Published March 25, 2025 6:00am ET



Too many students graduate college without understanding the fundamental ideas that shape our republic: liberty, justice, and self-governance. Utah is boldly leading the charge in restoring a meaningful civic education that equips students with the knowledge and ideas that have made America a beacon of freedom.

With strong bipartisan support, the Utah legislature passed Senate Bill 334 to establish the Center for Civic Excellence at Utah State University. This is more than a state policy — it’s a blueprint for the nation. By restoring civic education, Utah is ensuring future generations understand and are equipped to uphold the principles that built the freest and most prosperous society in human history.
