Character Education Program

I read an article about the Character Education Program that is made to develops student's characters by "teaching lessons such as self respect, integrity, and responsibility." The article talked about "The League" wich is getting this movement up and running. The only problem with the article is it did say what the "Character Education Program" would involve!

The article did talk about how President Bush has already funded $25 million to the Department of Eduation toward this Character Education Program. So far 1.2 million students are in it at 1,700 schools. So it sounds like a big deal, but I have not heard of it until now so it might be a good topic for discussion in class. Here is the article.
