“The sole purpose of civic education is to engage people democratically, to help them become democratic citizens on different levels of their community life.” While knowledge and skills are essential in civic education, it's values and attitudes that truly drive individual engagement, inspiring noble actions benefiting our communities or speaking out against injustices. Civic education instills these competencies and values in students, underscoring its pivotal role in fostering democratic processes in modern societies.

If events over the last several years have proven anything, it’s that generations of Americans have absolutely no clue about the basics of American history. For decades, our schools have intentionally failed in their responsibility to teach kids about the exceptionalism of America. The history of identities replaced the history of America many, many years ago. Today’s environment is the logical outcome of a broken and biased education system that has used a warped interpretation of America’s role in the past to instill hatred, contempt, and doubt throughout our culture. This must end. Our country depends on it. In the interest of national self-preservation, we need to begin investing in overhauling the way we teach history. A good place to start is for private foundations and nonprofits to provide stipends to history teachers who teach kids to not hate each other, their past, and their country. #historymatters https://lnkd.in/dvgca3ex
