safeguarding

Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education. -- Franklin D. Roosevelt Last year, my 7 year old son became obsessed with all things American after listening to the Hamilton soundtrack. He was consuming as much information as he could about Hamilton, the Presidents, the Revolution, the Declaration of Independence, etc. A trip to DC seemed the logical choice for Spring Break. This was shortly after we arrived. He wanted to see ALL the monuments as fast as possible and didn't want to stop when it started it began to pour.
