Author and Emory University professor emeritus Mark Bauerlein sat down with ACTA’s Michael Poliakoff to talk about his new book, “The Dumbest Generation Grows Up: From Stupefied Youth to Dangerous Adults.”  Bauerlein has publicly argued that the lack of general civics knowledge by millennials poses a threat to America’s political and social institutions.
