What happens when a high school government teacher becomes America’s most trusted voice on democracy? Sharon McMahon transformed from classroom educator to social media sensation by explaining politics with facts, civility, and clarity. Known as “America’s Government Teacher,” she reveals how she accidentally became a democratic educator during the pandemic and shares insights from her book The Small and the Mighty about unsung American heroes. She discusses why working with your enemies might be democracy’s secret weapon and tackles divisive topics from constitutional reform to political violence. Discover why history favors doers over critics and what it truly means to do “the next needed thing” in challenging times.
