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

It's a whole big ole soup pot full of factors. Back then, US civics was Cold War propaganda that we had to sift through later as adults.

People need to be taught basics of how our government is organized, the Bill of Rights , the Constitution etc. - otherwise too easily duped.

Agreed. I see civics as one factor of many (see Fairness Doctrine sunset) . Being serious here - TDS's America is a perfect civics tool.
