On April 30, distinguished public officials and scholars from the University of Pennsylvania, the Brookings Institution, and AEI will explore how incivility affects our political system and our ability to tackle the problems of twenty-first-century life.
Senator Joseph Lieberman (I-D-Conn.) and House minority leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) will join University of Pennsylvania president Amy Gutmann to address options for restoring civility in American politics. Other speakers will discuss how voters react to the lack of civility in Congress and how Congress itself is hindered by political disputes that seem to take precedent over legislative activity.
