Actor Richard Dreyfuss says most of our political problems because we stopped teaching civics in our schools since 1970. He's totally right!

I took civics in hs in 1978 but that doesn't help me today. I think we need to teach them be informed. Kindness would be good requirement

Ppl need to put in the work to learn what's true. We can't believe everything we hear and read.

I agree. Actually they stopped teaching it in the late 80's/ early 90's.

A political alternative is "The Venus Project", which is a proposal for a societal structure so revolutionary it renders politics obsolete.

Something I say all the time. So many young people know nothing about government, elections ,etc. it is a shame.

Agree but I question that date. I had the most boring civics teacher on earth (as dull as the 'Beuller, Beuller...' fellow) in Ohio in 1973.

We learned the general stuff in class but got our folks' opinions at home.
