Overview
"Ceremony of Innocence addresses what society owes its youngest generation, especially with respect to a humanities education. Roger Sharpe expresses a concern for the influence of political and religious extremists' attacks on public education, its consequences for children of poor and working class families, and long-term implications for democratic government." Robert Sharpe's numerous cross-cultured experiences and multidisciplinary studies allows him to propose a solution for improving American education that demands reconciliation between society's various contentious factions by the creation of an institute for training small-group leaders who would welcome dialogue among participants, invite reconciliation, and encourage the rebuilding of American communities across economic and social class lines.Synopsis
