When all this is over, we need to pass a law that every state require at least half a year’s civics education in middle school or high school on the basics of the US Constitution. It’s terrifying how many Americans seem not to have a clue.

That won't work.

If it’s not already part of the curriculum it should be. The question is the legal training & ethical underpinnings of Barr, Sessions, McGahn, the Republicans in Congress, cabinet members, etc?

Perhaps we need to teach Civics ... in Elementary School ... then teach how to hold on to a democracy ... in Middle School ... and then ... how to thrive in a democracy ... in High School!

I've heard most US citizens born here can't pass the test immigrants need to take. COVID has made me realize our basic science education must be seriously lacking too.

I agree! I graduated in 1987 and I graduated in what is called Academic/ College Prep track for those who were planning on going to school after high school. I was not given civics at all. We need the knowledge of what it means to be a citizen, our rights & our responsibilities.

I STRONGLY DISAGREE!! We need to throw the constitution out because it was written by murderers and thieves who stole this land and forced the Caucasoid ways upon us all!!! Let's expand the Declaration of Independence instead and REALLY break from england and the crown!
