Here at Texas State University, we joined a group of about 200 to hear two panel discussions on the significance of the Inaugural activity as a tradition, a tradition based on civility. It has been a long standing tradition that peaceful, civil handoffs is one of our hallmarks of a democratic process. Here is the agenda for this conference. It was presented in a well moderated manner and only an hour after the time of the 2016 inauguration. This was a presentation which taught us some important traditions of our government.
