When STEM ed became the rage, science & math- then standardized tests- got the focus to the detriment of art, history, civics. It's had a devastating effect; if you don't learn about the Bill of Rights as a child, you don't know to be horrified as an adult when it's under assault

Some schools are treating Civics as an elective or doing away with it all together. Well informed citizens help create a more effecient government!
