Cable in the Classroom Congratulates C-SPAN’s Brian Lamb
On Receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom Award

Statement from Dr. Helen Soulé, executive director of Cable in the Classroom:

“Cable in the Classroom congratulates C-SPAN and Brian Lamb on the announcement 
that he is to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Monday.  In addition 
to all that C-SPAN does to inform our democracy, the network’s commitment to 
education and to providing students a front row seat to the way government 
works is unparalleled.  For years, C-SPAN and the resources it offers to 
teachers and schools  – from C-SPAN Classroom, to C-SPAN School Bus visits, to 
student competitions that engage youth from around the country in the political 
process – have made an enormous difference in classrooms and in furthering 
civic education at large. Under Lamb’s guidance, C-SPAN has met with much 
success in introducing young people to the political process with nonpartisan, 
straightforward information that serves to educate and involve future 
generations in the world around them.”
