  Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Speaker, on March 27th, the United States will 
celebrate ``Education and Sharing Day U.S.A.'' to recognize the 
importance of excellence in education.
   Established in 1978 by a joint Congressional resolution, Education 
Day U.S.A. focuses on the very foundation of meaningful education: 
instructing our youth in the ways of morality and ethics, and teaching 
them an appreciation for divine inviolable values. These educational 
principles are vital to the success of our nation as they prepare our 
students for the responsibilities and opportunities of the future.
   Education and Sharing Day U.S.A. is celebrated on the birthday of 
the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, who dedicated 
his life to the betterment of mankind. The Rebbe was a tireless 
advocate for youth around the world, emphasizing the importance of 
education and good character, and instilling hope for a brighter future 
into countless people in America and across the globe.
   The Rebbe taught that education should not be limited to the 
acquisition of knowledge and preparation for a career; but should 
incorporate the building of character, with emphasis on moral and 
ethical values that have been the bedrock of society from the dawn of 
civilization, when they were known as the Seven Noahide Laws.
   Education and Sharing Day U.S.A. is a recognition of the importance 
of well-rounded education, and the contributions of the Rebbe. I am 
proud to observe Education and Sharing Day U.S.A. 2018.
