passed in the commonwealth on the importance
of civic education as part of a program

| The Hon.
Linda Wallach Miller, Court of Common Pleas
of Monroe County Forty-Third Judicial
District Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and
President of the Monroe County Bar
Association, Joseph P. McDonald, Jr., Esq.
welcome First Lady Rendell and support her
efforts. |
 |
| Many
students studied the Constitution by
reviewing and discussing Supreme Court
decisions as they related to schools and the
educational system. Topics of sexual
harassment, the Bill of Rights and the First
Amendment provided lively debate and raised
the conscientiousness of the students. |
