On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Arena,” CNN Contributor and New York Times “The Interview” co-host Lulu Garcia-Navarro stated that “we are raising a generation, especially in schools, where we do not teach them the value of civics, we do not teach them the value of engaging in a sense of patriotism.”
Garcia-Navarro said, “I do think that we are raising a generation, especially in schools, where we do not teach them the value of civics, we do not teach them the value of engaging in a sense of patriotism.”
She added, “I’m an immigrant. I come from an immigrant family. You talk to immigrants, there is an enormous sense of pride in this country. You come to when you are swearing — doing your swearing-in ceremony, and it is just like an enormously prideful moment. But I do think we’ve lost that sense of unity and that sense of pride around the flag.”
