In a letter to a young fan, Charles Schulz emphasized that defining a good citizen is more challenging than ever, and faith in democracy is crucial, especially in upholding the rights of minority groups.
Schulz pointed out that those who vocally advocate for returning to so-called 'American Virtues' often demonstrate a lack of faith in the country, highlighting an irony in their demands.
His widow noted that many Peanuts strips resonate with contemporary audiences, suggesting that Schulz's insights on citizenship and democracy remain relevant and necessary in today's societal discourse.
The message in Schulz's letter echoes the importance of protecting the smallest minorities as a fundamental strength of democracy and a measure of a good citizen.
