    More than half of states considered bills or other proposals to expand the teaching of civics in their last legislative session.https://n.pr/2uDVXiX

        It’s a requirement in Washington State. A semester for seniors. My favorite class to teach. Students come in thinking they will hate it and the realize quickly how important it is to be engaged and work through their beliefs and potential actions

        SO IMPORTANT. Where we are today as a nation - where a significant portion of our society became enamored with a strong-man-wannabe/simpleton who has betrayed our country -- is indicative of a population woefully undereducated & lacking critical thinking skills.

        Ethics class should also be mandatory for high school students.

        Yeah, so the rush over the past 30-40 years to only push STEM and literacy competentcies on state standardized tests at the expense of the social sciences has played a direct role in the stupidity that you read daily on Twitter & in article comments sections (and in elections).

        Naming all 50 states isn’t enough. Civics is the space for critical thinking, understanding primary sources and debating with tolerance. Civic education is much needed. #civics101 #civics
