"Students Face Up to the Nation's Finances," a pilot project in which Public Agenda is a partner, is shifting into high gear with classroom discussion guides and other materials to be used at hundreds of colleges to spark debate on ways to solve the mushrooming federal budget crisis. The curriculum materials, funded by a $500,000 grant from the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, will also be available online and can be used on their own or as mini-units in existing college courses. Check out FacingUp.org for more on how to campaign for action on the federal budget deficit.
